    Handheld Scanners?

    Any good hand held scanners out there? One that can do more than just reset simple P-codes? Not looking for pro-tablets, etc., something maybe up to the $500 max range, but can do coding or whatever similar to a laptop/ISTA setup. My current need is to get into the headlight module.


    Foxwell, Schwaben, Carsoft?

    Foxwell NT510 with free bmw module when you register for $155 is a good deal for a handheld. I like mine. Not enough for coding though. Look at Carly.

    Thanks, I ended up with a Carly and BOTH adapters (BT and usb) since I have an E83. Apparently need both methods on this car for full diagnostic and coding.

    I have the Foxwell NT510 with the BMW Module as well. It does fine for simple shade tree kinds of work.
