Wifi Update - newer models can easily be added.
OBD2 functionality for all other cars.
Inexpensive
Same software as on the X431 series devices which is a $1000 device, of course limited to BMWs only.

I bought the Creator C501 for my BMWs. I used it to reset an airbag light that I tripped when I removed an airbag. It was a bit tricky to clear the code because I had to go into “Body” then the “A” pillar to get to the side airbag. What a great decide for $59.
Very good video. I have just bought the Benz version and this has helped me understand it more. I thought for resetting things like oil for example after a change you had to purchase it from the store but it’s all in the diagnostic section. Thank you 👍
Can you code fuel injectors on benz with your device?
can it reprogram a new DME to accept old key for engine swap? or Sync the EWS with new DME?
Awesome! I am getting this
Got one and at a great deal. During Amazon days last weekend and had a additional $20 off I picked it up for $96. Lol. It works great.
Can bleed water pump for cooling sistem for bmw f30 20 diesel???
Can it do a adaptation value like o2,,idle actuator..throttle actuator,,catalyst adaptation?
Hi, got this thing to scan for error codes & personalize my lights (use angel eyes as DRL). This is Canadian car (2009, 323i only sold here) its basically a 328i base model with 2.5L. N52. I dont see options in menue of coding, does this mean its not available for me or am i doing something wrong?
Hey bro question, should I buy this one or the new X431 version I want to see if the accumulator special functionality is the same
is there a launch diagnostic toll specifically for mercedes benz that can read from old merc to the latest?
Can i can activate video in motion feature if yes plz letme know the location in settings for bmw f30.thnx
Does this scanner do mileage correction on bmw m3 2008
Can it show Live data from sensors like a camshaft sensor? Ta
Can you code a new airbag module with this?
Can this tool programm a fuel miduke for 328i bmw
Can it reset transfer box after a oil change.
Ended up purchasing one of these devices and the touch was way out of place. I had to press the shift key to hit Q. However, after updating the system not the "upgrade" menu, this was completely solved. Go to Settings > About > Version and then Detect system update.
Do you have any idea if it will allow you to do the programming for the traffic jam assist?
Around here the WAZE iPhone app is supposed to help with problems ahead...I haven't tried it yet.
Can I use it for 1996 528 ???
Thank you for posting this video. I am a new subscriber to your channel. I just purchased this tool from Amazon and your video was very helpful. I do have a question. On Amazon it shows that the device can be used to program remote keys. I did not see anything in the user manual about this function. Can you help? I have a 2012 335i retractable hardtop with only 40k miles.
You should see IMMO. That will allow you to register already programmed key. This will not program a key. You can also assign different values to the key, make it primary/secondary etc.
Great review. I subscribed. Same question I asked you on your other review (Foxwell NT710): will it show me the codes on Hall sensors, microswitches etc on the convertible top on my 2004 E46? You answered that Foxwell will. Thank you in advance.
Welcome to the channel!
If the BMW scanner says it’s ‘full system’ or if you watch my videos and I say the scanner can ready ALL modules, it will show codes and live data for your convertible top. The only difference you’ll see is if it adds actuation testing (bi directional) or coding (changing preferences on the module.
If it’s not full system, I’ll say something like “will read modules on ‘these (ABS, E CU etc.)’ systems”.
@@SimpleCarGuy thank you. It’s on sale on Amazon, half of Foxwell.
Can it reset the EWS?
hey. nice video, wanted to ask if it can disable the speed warnings at 80kmph and 120kmph in the car.
There are some settings in the car on the CIC without the need for this device.
Also bought this device, works great for troubleshooting but cant get the coding to work… as for example i cant get the CIC to open keep getting an no coding data error. So might be better of with the bimmerapp…
Would this be worth getting if I already have the FoxWell NT520? I use it on a 1998 528i.
Probably not for a 1998 year vehicle, those were still fairly limited in what they offered through OBD2.
I've noticed I needed the 18-pin adapter cable to plug into the port in the engine bay. After I got the new one, I found one in my box o' diagnostic crap lol
How do register the battery?
Yes you are ! I still have my 1st do you like it or they pay you
I liked this scanner. They did not pay me to review it
Can you add a new port and get the computer to accept it from desk device????
Hi can this reset frm module on bmw e90 320d. Short circuit error
I'm not 100% on the FRM module, but I just used it yesterday to reset the convertible module on my Z4. So, if that functional is available in the actuation testing, then yes.
Pls buy thinkdiag 2
hi do you need an internet connection to use in the car thanks
Hi, no the internet connection is not required to be used, only for updates.
Good for Mini as well? I need to reset my vanos adaptations
Yes, works on Minis also
Did you get one and did it reset your vanos adaptations and able to update DME? If so does it show the target and actual vanos adaptation values ?
Hello. Can you help with the coding/personalisation?
It does not work for me. Some waiting and then it just fails “data error-coding data check”
Thanks
Hi, is your car in the accessory mode?
@@SimpleCarGuy hello. I am unsure whether the F20 has an accessory mode. Lemme know if im mistaken. Thank you
Can this do injector coding on bmw
Yes it can
Didn't work for battery code apk failure
Can this be used to code things out? Let's say disabling the auto-leveling headlight to remove the warning? Or disabling tpm's
Christian,did you find what you were looking for
@@patricioaguayo9088 I wasn't able to. I'm trying to code my car on the cheap
No, this one will not code things out.
@@SimpleCarGuy sad, thank you. Do you have recommendations for a coder?
Yes it can code.
does it do Live data?
Yes, it does.
@@SimpleCarGuy Thanks looks like a winner
It’s a pretty good scanner for the money!
Hello. Can you tell me how to register?
What are you trying to register?
can you see the values of the injectors on diesel engines?
Can this program a new key?
Not a new key, it can register a preprogrammed key though
je ne vois pas l'utilité car ça voiture est neuve.
can it program keys
No, it cannot
does it work without internet connection?
Yes, it does.
@@SimpleCarGuy Thanks. I'm wary of Launch because they left me hanging with the very convenient to haul around Easy Diag. they just inhabilitated the device to work after the support period. And it didn't work w/o connection so it was really useless while on actual trips and such, where you need a easy, portable scanner the most.
Does this have to be connected to the internet when using in the car? If so, that's a deal breaker.
It does not have to be connected to internet. Only for updating or if you'd like to share reports etc.
@@SimpleCarGuy OK thanks. I've ordered one for my Dad as he likes tinkering with cars. Another You Tuber said it needs an internet connection for it to work, so the car has to be near a wifi point or it has to be plugged into a phone.
Can I code my headlight to my 2011 535xdrive @SimpleCarGuy
Swapped tranny, can this device program new tranny?
For bmw only?
Yes, it’s make specifically for BMWs. It will do regular OBD2 functionality on other cars, but not any of the specialty stuff like reading modules or service functions.
Ekpms3 module. Can't get an answer from the site. I need to replace this module,but apparently I have to code it. And register battery. Who wants to get stuck with something you can't use. Thank you
@@SimpleCarGuy hello car dude.
Can this thing scan my new ekpms3? And register my battery? Thank you
Can this scanner put the brakes into service mode which retracts the calipers? Similar to czcams.com/video/QWtXqIF6eBQ/video.html.
Can it do coding?
Yes it can.
@@EllershawJBilly thanks 🙏
I would stay far away from this scanner .of the 3 companies I have used to code my 2015 535i. This is the only one that has not been able to. I emailed the company 3 times, no response.
Blue driver tops
Yeah this one is going back for me too. Allows me to look at the coding menus in my f02 Alpina but doesn’t write/code any of the changes i make. Always gives an error message
@@JakeEarpsame with my e65 doent code give me an error, are you sorted
@@jimmyrikhotso6752 returned it. I bought bimmer code, OBD to usb-c, and installed ISTA+
@JakeEarp How did you get ista+ in desperate need of it but cant find anywhere trustworthy on how to get it
Pricing?
low
@@mcpluttMore than 300 USD isn’t low for an occasional DIYer.
@@agilbert314 Why do you have to pay almost double price?
Sorry, I didn’t see you comment! It’s $150 on Amazon.
@@SimpleCarGuy Not on Amazon Canada !
Can this program like fuel injectors and other parts too??
Yes, it can program injectors. As far as other parts, it depends. Please see the special functions for what it supports.
