Peake Research R5/FCX II reset tool

[spike01]

I just got my R5/FCXII reset tool (for 87 - 2003 BMWs) from Peake Research. It showed up about a week after I ordered it so I was pleasantly surprised at the excellent service. If anyone in the Winnipeg area is in need of a reset or diagnostic you're welcome to use it for free. (spike01@mts.net) Has anyone had any experience with these things? It's not going to blow up my car is it???

and no, it's not going to blow your car up. if you don't use it though, then your car might :stickoutt

I was doing some surfing yesterday and discovered that somebody on the web has detailed a procedure to build your own reset tool using an alligator clip and a wire. (Sorry, not sure which site that was) He simply grounds the correct pin for the correct number of seconds and the system will reset itself. Could have saved some coin I guess but the reset tool also does diagnostics so it's not a total waste.
