thanks. not what I wanted to hear exactly. 1200 dollars update to just code new very expensive modules which is really the only half decent thing this tool does its not worth the tool price nor the update. auto hex and bmw explorer works excellent on used modules, the money I save there in modules alone justifies the price . trying to find a reason to keep this tool but can't find one. call me nuts but 3500 dollar tool plus 1200 every year for updates just to do bimmers and benz half ass its nuts. I say bmw and benz cuz everything else is gone. anyone wants to prove me wrong am all ears.
its not just about immobilizer its about the aftermarket making a living on this vehicles. if I have to spend over a thousand dollars on a new dme run the risk of ruining another module while coding, having to take the car to the dealer in many cases cuz they will not sell keys,egs and others to us then what is the purpose of buying a such an expensive scantool not to mention update prices, for what, just to say I coded a bmw there are a bunch of tools out there that will code and flash for a third of the price of this tool. why even get involved with a vehicle we can not do 100% so that halfway thru the job we have to send it to the dealer cuz our precious tool can not finish it. this is not just bmw but all the vehicles. in case you didn't know dme/ecm/pcm/ecu in general goes bad all the time and after replacement the immobilizer needs to be performed which this tool can not do. and just to make clear if anyone else besides support replies to the post saying it does this car and that car you better not be a seller cuz am tire of hearing all this bullshit this tool does this and that when in fact it doesn't, one car out 20 does not count. all I hear it does great on bmw and benz its worth the price. its not and it doesn't work great on bmw and benz nor anything else. if you think it does then that proof you don't know shit. a lot of new people here that don't know the difference and have nothing else to compare it with. this is a very poor aftermarket tool at best.
