Best OBD Recommendations

karmenu · 07-26-2023, 04:17 AM

I would like to purchase an OBD for my E81 116D (n47).

Interested in unlocking hidden features, trouble shooting if check engine comes on.. and clearing the codes. Currently have an airbag light and would like to clear it as well.

Any recommendations please?

I started using Bimmergeeks Protool last week. Android app works pretty well so far. I bought their Bluetooth dongle and master license for ~$200. I've used it to clear my TPMS light (USDM thing) and reset a brake code. Also using it to monitor oil temps and other livedata. Pretty powerful little thing, I'm happy with it. You can also perform coding changes with it, but I haven't played with that too much yet.
