Diagnostic Scanner Tool Clear Codes $130

http://www.ebay.com/itm/181631044990...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Has anyone purchased this iCarsoft i910 ??? Is this worth the price and does it function properly. ($130) The description provided from the ebay seller is below:

"The BMW i910 is a multifunction diagnostic scanner and tester which has been designed specifically for BMW/MINI vehicles. It will enable you to read and clear diagnostic faults from main systems within your vehicle such as SRS airbags, ABS Antilock Brakes, DSC, engine & transmission modules, A/C, Instrument Cluster and more. It will also allow you to read live data in real time format. We have tested the scanner on many vehicles with excellent results. Compared to higher priced kits on the market that do exactly the same as this kit, we feel it offers excellent value for its cost. The i910 is an easy to use, stand alone unit that will have you scanning your vehicle within minutes. Simply, plug it into the OBD II port and the device will boot up with step-by-step instructions. This scanner has a large, easy to read 2.8 inch color display accompanied by a user friendly interface that requires no additional software."

I have no experience with that device but Torque will do everything in that description and only costs $5. It's an app for your phone or tablet. To be fair, you need an OBDII to Bluetooth device too but that is about $30. For less than $50, you can read and clear codes, read and record data, and construct virtual gauges of any parameter on the OBDII.

I would also look into the BMWhat app. You can read and clear codes and you can also code your car to do other BMW specific things like fold mirrors on your key, brake force display,...
