Hey Guys -
Just got an bluetooth OBD scanner (ELM327) from a friend to use with my iPhone but quickly realized that it cannot connect to iPhones due to Apple restrictions. Therefore, I must use Windows to view the info on my 2006 X5.
I downloaded and tried ScanXL Professional as it seemed to be a good one. I was able to connect to my BMW as well as pull all sorts of data - however - it wasn't able to interpret BMW codes.
Does anyone have a suggestion of the best Windows application to use for OBD scanning?
Thanks!

Scanner: ELM327 Bluetooth - P/N 1008 - Firmware Rev 1.5
