@@BMWDoctor I did this on my 2002 325CI but since I reconnected the battery the first turn of the key the starter motor just spins then when I turned the ignition off and back on it starts, why is it doing this?
Always take the negative cable off first and instal it back last. Doing this will prevent any tool that you will be tightening or loosening the postive cable with,, if you touch a metal bracket then arcing may happen and this could cause a spike and damage any of the modules.
Wouldn't you want to install negative cable back first and take it off last to maintain your ability to stay grounded as much of the time as possible to reduce shock or electrocution issues?
I have been doing this for over 30 years. Days before diagnostics were different than today. There use to not be any live data. The first BMW to get obd I was the 87 E30 325i had motranic 1.1. I have a old tool for all the 20 pin cars and when I first got live data I was wondering why all cars didn't have it. Well they have more live data than I ever dreamed of.
Hey there. Sorry bugging you but you might know this. I own a E36 92 323i and lately I got the Check Control Inactive warning on the display. I´ve checked most forums etc, and they all talk about reseting the computer by doing the battery thing or pressing 1000 10 simultaneously. But man, I can´t get it to work. What would you recommend? Thanks
Man I’ve had a day of disconnecting the battery in the rain and closing trunk on my 2014-328i. That was the start of a long wet day. Jumped the truck open with a battery pack and the key. Then replaced the battery to get the red P of death and dead screen. I continuity tested every single fuse in the car and closed the trunk. Wow. Locked out for real this time! Pulled back seats and unbolted the back bolts. Grabbed the D ring to open trunk. With no issues with fuses and no BMW OBD device to register the brand new battery. I came upon your video. Did the factory reset you showed and everything lit up and it’s running like a champ again. Thanks so much for this Video!!!! 😊 you saved me a ton! Thanks.
Glad to hear this method solved your problems and sorry to hear you went through that type of experience.. I'm a big big car guy as well as my father (who just had his whole left leg amputated) and my grandfather (his father) we all love cars- case in point I been in your shoes many many times having to rip out my entire subwoofer and custom screen & system to get to the battery in my 99 benz cell 320 omg those days are no fun lol hope things stay well for you and your cars brother 🙏
thanks doctor. my lights only came on when starting my car. no indicatros or hazards. told it was Light control Module. reset as you said. and reset ECU. it WORKED. reconnected and all working fine thx mate
Hi. Good vid for some cars. Does not work on older 2006 X3. Some replacement parts have to be programed and reset with the scan tool. Example: pedal position sensor, front differential oil changes, transfer case actuator if new. There are other systems that need programming. So, just touching the battery cables does not fix all problems. Cool channel by the way.
Dean you are a God. I just bought a 2005 530i E60 with 186000 kms in Australia. First BMW I have owned, and I'm blown away. Learnt heaps off your videos mate much appreciated. My Air back light is on permanently and am considering taking terminals off the battery and holding for ten seconds. Do I have to wait 15mins or can I put straight back on. Pretty sure I can put straight back on without waiting and turning lights on to drain car like you did in another video. If someone could let me know I would be so appreciative. I have no blue tooth but don't really care. Everything else is awesome.
Not sure about your troubles but to drain the battery yes, you can hold the leads together to drain quickly. I just took the leads off, removed the dead battery and waited ten minutes which worked as well.
Love that engine purring, lol...! Having no other issues , after Mom had nieces mechanic change my cheap choice of ATE (?) rotors from FCP, to BMW rotors to fix the vibration. By way of persons such as yourself I thought of doing a brake fluid flush also but we have not had to do that yet. But in the process of me contemplating the brake fluid flush one day I pulled the cap on the steering fluid saw that it was not even on the stick though there was at the bottom reservoir showing fluid. I bought some press tone European power steering fluid and added their to but liberally must have put a 1/4 cup over . We have no digital display of any problem but steering went out and was hard like old-school manual steering for Mom that evening. So a friend suggested the battery reset and I will suck out the excess fluid while it is resting. Hopefully power steering pump is not ill. I watched your video where you suggest Forte... But I must do what I can in the interim before buying any other products. I did order a Euro parts reservoir to change it if need be. Waiting on that arrival...

I have a 535xi 2008 bmw. The car is funky no major lights but not always smooth. I do have a howling or high pitched sound when excelerating . Almost like a whistle or strong vac sound. Do you this easy check could help? Mike
Thank you, Thank you, Thank y ou. About two years ago my wife hit the garage door exit with her driver side mirror because of a rough running engine idle on her 2017 X1. I temporarily fixed the mirror and figured it would need to be replaced. Last month the mirror started making a banging sound every time the door was locked and unlocked like it was trying to fold back. I took the mirror apart and was ready to clip the white wire but thought let me seed what I can find out. So not only did you fix her rough idle it also fixed the mirror problem. Your the best !!
Thanks Dean, worked for me on my 2006 325i. Question could you do a video on the hidden menu that is used to reset the brake improbable valves that occurs when a reset is done inadvertently before replacing the brake sensor wire?
Thank you bro but I watched other videos and they say you have to remove the negative cable first and when you return it should be positive cable first but you did it in different way is this normal
I have an e46, rough idle at start up, but if I shut it down and turn it on its normal or if I hit the throttle it’ll idle out. Cold or hot same issue. Fresh tune-up, complete coolant, ignition system, filters, vanos, injectors, ccv, hoses and intake system gasket refresh. During startup if I let it get to a solid idle on its own, I may get cyl misfire 3 or 3,4&5. All work mentioned was completed less than 800miles ago. Any ideas?
watch out with your bracelet when working on the battery, nice tip . after i change'd the battery on my 2006 M3. the left window won't close with the comfort closing.... can it fix that too ?
You just need to do the window down, then do it up again, holding your finger on the button the whole time. Once the windows all the way up, hold onto the up button for 10 seconds (not letting go) that'll reset it
Dean, My wife has an 03 x5 3.0. It has the air susp inactive message. The car has all new air struts & I rebuilt the Wabco compressor this weekend. Will doing this reset to factory ride height? Thank you
Hi, I have a BMW X5 e70 n55 engine 2012 model which has a CAS Immobilizer Bus fault and even the comfort access for the doors isn't working.

Is there a possible way to relearning valvetronic without a pc because i dont have one i only have mhd i need to change mine i see on bimmerpost you have to turn ignition on and with in 15 sec need to press down to full throttle 10 times and valvetronic will program it self ??!!! Is possible that to work for my bmw f10 n55 ??!!!
Thank you very much, you are a hero. I have a 2017 BMW 750. The wipers were working by themselves, the signals were not working, nor were the lights. I did your method and everything returned to normal. Thank you, hero🤍
Hello. Thank you for sharing this video but I have a question in regards to the other cars, does this method works only for BMWs only or it could be used on any other cars in order to clear the system? Regards
I did this on my 2002 325CI but since I reconnected the battery the first turn of the key the starter motor just spins then when I turned the ignition off and back on it starts, why is it doing this?
Thanks for the video i have 1 comment resetting as instructed will that help to reset fuel trims after replacing fuel injectors. I appreciate your answer.
Hi Doctor, thank you for the vedio, i have a 320i, 2011 covertable with N43 engine. I disconnected the battery doing rocker cover gasket. On coonecting the battery back, it wont turn on, i even tried with IBS disconnected, but it would not make any differnce. When put the key in ignition only the airbag ligght and radio comes on, everything else is dead. Will the reset help
This is a great video. Would this work on my 20 two-year-old C class coupe compressor? And does it matter which terminal you take off the battery first?
Minus first always! You did the same observation as I did. Now I have learnt that it's quite important to first take off minus. It's not very good to let it spark either.
Yes I wanted to know if that reset would work for the 200 mile countdown for incorrect def fluid on a 2016 328d BMW and stop the countdown to a no start?
After regulator replacement window open a bit after opening door but won't close when closing the door. Also automatic function won't work. BMW g15. What could cause the issue?
I've seen your 2 vidéos about that 👍👍👍👍I have X1 F48 2017, the SOS light remains on despite the change of the small battery in the rear of the roof. Can I do that without a risk . Thanks for your return. Hi from Francia.
Will this work on my 2008 BMW 328xi N52? I replaced camshaft sensor’s Eccentric Shaft sensor. I’m still getting codes. This would be cost effective for me for sure!
Will this also clear safety warnings? I have a 330xi GT and removed the motor for the spoiler because it had come detached from where it was mounted and with the stereo I have in there, it was rattling horribly. I did not expect to get a safety warning, I would rather just turn the safety alert off, which causes my car to make a dinging alert when I exceed 80mph.
GREAT VID , A QUICK QUESTION .... IVE GOT A 1 SERIES M SPORT 09 PLATE AND THE ORANGE CAR LIGHT COMES ON FOR ABOUT 4 SECONDS WHEN I START IT UP , I THINK ITS LOW ON BATTERY , DO U THINK THIS WOULD WORK TO STOP IT COMING ON OR IS THERE ANOTHER WAY TO GET RID OF IT , IT RUNS PERFECT AND ALWAYS STARTS WELL, I WAS GONNA BUY A BATTERY BUT IM SELLING THE CAR ASAP , I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW TO GET THIS LIGHT FROM COMING ON , ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED THANKS
Hi dean my guages are dead, the heat, refs, feul and speedo gauges are dead aswel as the km reading display, i have a e36 94 model what do i do some one said its the control box behind the glove box but how do i know if its the rite control box and how do i know if its the gauge cluster itself
Hi Interesting video! Would this procedure be viable on a 2010 123d and would it correct an issue I think relates to frm3 module (after glow plug swap have no indicators, reverse light, windows or locking)? Is it viable on E82 that has had battery strap recall? (battery looks more complicated on top) . Thank you !
Just for reference, live cables are always the first thing going in. Always. This is the yeasiest way to burn down some chips in ecu's. you wont have sparks flying off and you evoid power surges from fiting or trying to fit the live cable. Every time there are sparks there is contact and people get scared and pull back and try again. In 5secound and all does trys its easy to burn stuff.
Had jump start my 2012 z4, and now I cannot open the trunk and the windows are in the down position. I have checked fuses and nothing. I cannot figure out how to get the trunk open, button above the hood release is not working. Have any suggestions on how to open the trunk? Manually?
I watched your other reset video, and it said to watch THIS video for newer BMWs, but you don't say how new! I did this once on a 2014 Jaguar XF and had all sorts of problems afterwards - my wife has a 2019 X3 so will it work on that?
Hello I have replaced the front plates and the front sensor cable, the cable broke in half and I don't know how, but I soldered it back because I didn't have a new one with me, now when I start the brake light comes on as a warning, just like before I it's broken, it won't reset via the display. I wonder if the brake warning light would go out in this way, as you have now shown. Well, will the hidden functions be canceled -restored, thanks in advance for the answer. it is a bme F11-2015 2.0 D, 191hp :)
My 2011 x5, start giving to me the problem with AC, glove box and trunk not working at the same time, or all working. The car operates normally, it’s just this 3 things working or not working at the same time, never alone. Do you know that is this? Much appreciated.
Good video, will it solve chassis problem that makes front suspension goes down flat, when I press the level bottom the suspension goes up but it later deflates. It’s a 2017 bmw 7 series
You need always unplug negative pol first then positive pol --- but if you put cables on battery then you put positive pol first to battery then minus pol!!
Thank you fo0r this video. I knew about the procedure quite a while ago, b7ut did not know if it would require any coding of the battery or other components. My E38 didn't require coding. Now I feel more confident in dong this before biting the bullet and taking my F01 to the shop (multiple misfires I can't eliminate with plugs and coils).
Hello mate, will this work on even newer versions without messing up anything? I have a 7 series G12, 2019. I don’t trust BMW main dealer. They made me change a water pump that didn’t need changing for a drivetrain message that was intermittently coming up. I was told an ECU reset would solve it. They’ve been messing me about.
Aloha all, I have 2014 F30 that I recently gave to my son and picked up a 2023 G30. I love G30 because of the added space (being 6’ it’s awesome) and also loved the F30. I have a bit of a problem though right now with the G30. I installed an amp and sub into the F30 by tapping a LOC to the speaker wires myself. I then picked up the 2023 G30 and thought I could do the same but now I have no sound and the driver assistance warning systems are not working either. Any ideas? I put Everything back together but it hasn’t corrected yet. Do I need to drive it more for it to reset or do I need to do a reset? PLEASE HELP!
Will this reset the “theft mode” on my e92 n54? I’ve had it happen before but had to take it to a shop for them to remap it to a stock tune and going “through the bmw dealer” to do so??
on my bmw e 46 sometimes when I turn on the ignition there is no light and then it won't start, and when I turn on the ignition and there is a light it starts every time, once I turned the key for 15 minutes until the lights appeared, is this also a problem with the fuse box and does the whole box have to be changed or only a specific fuse?? at the service center they want to replace the entire box, which is not very cheap.
Yeah I did this several 😂 times on my 2007 bmw 525xi and it work just got done replacing my alternator ruining fine engine like back on tho and going the check that out soon my my dash screen broke from water I replaced it but doesn’t come on would any Know where that fuse would be?
Never heard of this method before but interesting to know. But how about the gearbox iteself? If you reset that one doesn't it need relearning? The whole cumbersome process of driving slow, accelerating, coasting back to initail speed, then manually selecting gears up to the last one and accelerating and coasting back again several times etc etc....?
So I have a 2021 Supra, BMW at heart, will this work to clear driver and passenger restraint system errors? I replaced the seatbelts with a custom set to match the interior trim stitching, refraction blue. I had to drive it without the seatbelts and now even after everything is all hooked back up like it should be. It’s still coming up with the same errors. Thanks, Will

Would this work on e92 320d, I have a left mirror adjustment issue, I've checked fuses, tried right mirror motor on left and it still didn't work, anything else it could be, window switches and right mirror adjusts fine
I have a 750i that has been sitting for 2 years. The battery is dead and i want to start it. Will your trick with the battery after it's been recharged work?

can i do this on my 128i?
works on most manufacturers! all youve done differently is discharge any excess charge quicker?
Would this work on E36 as well? Thanks!
This is the best channel for BMW, mate you just got my light issue resolved!
Dean, do you know how to reset the tire pressure on a 2007 BMW 328 xi? It has a heat unit or CCC that is not working, help with that would also be greatly appreciated, and of the videos I have seen on how to reset the tire pressure, do not work on this E90 BMW. Thanks!
I have a 535xi 2008 bmw. The car is funky no major lights but not always smooth. I do have a howling or high pitched sound when excelerating . Almost like a whistle or strong vac sound. Do you this easy check could help? Mike

ou. About two years ago my wife hit the garage door exit with her driver side mirror because of a rough running engine idle on her 2017 X1. I temporarily fixed the mirror and figured it would need to be replaced. Last month the mirror started making a banging sound every time the door was locked and unlocked like it was trying to fold back. I took the mirror apart and was ready to clip the white wire but thought let me seed what I can find out. So not only did you fix her rough idle it also fixed the mirror problem. Your the best !!
Thanks Dean, worked for me on my 2006 325i. Question could you do a video on the hidden menu that is used to reset the brake improbable valves that occurs when a reset is done inadvertently before replacing the brake sensor wire?
Just do the process my friend it will fix it for you
Hi what's Doctor Dean adress I have a special equipped BMW and I need a specialist like him, please help, thanks
Will it clear my DTC ABC and Brake Light
Will this work on my 2009 328i Coupe?
@@BMWDoctorwill this work on my E90
Will this delete an aftermarket DME or Transmission Tune?
I have a 2001 BMW X5 e53, will this method work?
Thank you bro but I watched other videos and they say you have to remove the negative cable first and when you return it should be positive cable first but you did it in different way is this normal
Hi, thanks for the video. How does it work on BMW 550i F10?
I have an e46, rough idle at start up, but if I shut it down and turn it on its normal or if I hit the throttle it’ll idle out. Cold or hot same issue. Fresh tune-up, complete coolant, ignition system, filters, vanos, injectors, ccv, hoses and intake system gasket refresh. During startup if I let it get to a solid idle on its own, I may get cyl misfire 3 or 3,4&5. All work mentioned was completed less than 800miles ago. Any ideas?
watch out with your bracelet when working on the battery, nice tip . after i change'd the battery on my 2006 M3. the left window won't close with the comfort closing.... can it fix that too ?
You just need to do the window down, then do it up again, holding your finger on the button the whole time. Once the windows all the way up, hold onto the up button for 10 seconds (not letting go) that'll reset it
Dean,
My wife has an 03 x5 3.0.
It has the air susp inactive message.
The car has all new air struts & I rebuilt the Wabco compressor this weekend. Will doing this reset to factory ride height?
Thank you
Hi, I have a BMW X5 e70 n55 engine 2012 model which has a CAS Immobilizer Bus fault and even the comfort access for the doors isn't working. This happened when I took my car for painting and they removed all the door handles and after they fitted back from there the comfort access stopped working. What could be the problem?
Hello guys, do anyone know reason that idrive not working? Check all fuses and wires not have voltage 😢 have 730d F01
Is there a possible way to relearning valvetronic without a pc because i dont have one i only have mhd i need to change mine i see on bimmerpost you have to turn ignition on and with in 15 sec need to press down to full throttle 10 times and valvetronic will program it self ??!!! Is possible that to work for my bmw f10 n55 ??!!!
Did it work for valvetronics?
Thank you very much, you are a hero. I have a 2017 BMW 750. The wipers were working by themselves, the signals were not working, nor were the lights. I did your method and everything returned to normal. Thank you, hero🤍
Hello. Thank you for sharing this video but I have a question in regards to the other cars, does this method works only for BMWs only or it could be used on any other cars in order to clear the system? Regards
I did this on my 2002 325CI but since I reconnected the battery the first turn of the key the starter motor just spins then when I turned the ignition off and back on it starts, why is it doing this?
Your videos have been helpful. Will this work on 2011 740Li F02 n54
Thanks for the video i have 1 comment resetting as instructed will that help to reset fuel trims after replacing fuel injectors. I appreciate your answer.
Hi Doctor, thank you for the vedio, i have a 320i, 2011 covertable with N43 engine. I disconnected the battery doing rocker cover gasket. On coonecting the battery back, it wont turn on, i even tried with IBS disconnected, but it would not make any differnce. When put the key in ignition only the airbag ligght and radio comes on, everything else is dead. Will the reset help
This is a great video. Would this work on my 20 two-year-old C class coupe compressor? And does it matter which terminal you take off the battery first?
Minus first always! You did the same observation as I did.
Now I have learnt that it's quite important to first take off minus.
It's not very good to let it spark either.
Does this rest the monitors or does clearing the codes with the scanner do the same
Can you do this reset on a BMW i8 (plug in hybrid), or would it cause problems due to it's hybrid/technical nature?
I have a question on a bmw 630i 2005 the remote central locking doesn't work of both keys can u help
Hi! Does doing this reset the FRM module as well?
I would like to know aswell
I have a 2006 BMW 750Li I just changed the brakes now the dash lit up with park break faults and abs faults will this clear it?
Will this work with an R56 mini Cooper S?
Yes I wanted to know if that reset would work for the 200 mile countdown for incorrect def fluid on a 2016 328d BMW and stop the countdown to a no start?
Thank you very much for the video. I have BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer 7 Seater (68) will it work?
After regulator replacement window open a bit after opening door but won't close when closing the door. Also automatic function won't work. BMW g15. What could cause the issue?

How you help to fix problem of wirering or get body controller module for cruze LT Sedan indicate light brake wipe horn not working with right system.
Will this work on my 2008 BMW 328xi N52? I replaced camshaft sensor’s Eccentric Shaft sensor. I’m still getting codes. This would be cost effective for me for sure!
Thanks a lot mate. Does this work on ANY other car too? Thanks
Can I do same process on a e70 x5 2011 gas fuel, the battery reset??
Will this also clear safety warnings? I have a 330xi GT and removed the motor for the spoiler because it had come detached from where it was mounted and with the stereo I have in there, it was rattling horribly. I did not expect to get a safety warning, I would rather just turn the safety alert off, which causes my car to make a dinging alert when I exceed 80mph.

hello Dean..tnx for videos... and tnx again. .. mine is 320i 2007 4 cilender e90.. can I do this ?
Hi Interesting video! Would this procedure be viable on a 2010 123d and would it correct an issue I think relates to frm3 module (after glow plug swap have no indicators, reverse light, windows or locking)? Is it viable on E82 that has had battery strap recall? (battery looks more complicated on top) . Thank you !
Just for reference, live cables are always the first thing going in. Always. This is the yeasiest way to burn down some chips in ecu's. you wont have sparks flying off and you evoid power surges from fiting or trying to fit the live cable. Every time there are sparks there is contact and people get scared and pull back and try again. In 5secound and all does trys its easy to burn stuff.
Had jump start my 2012 z4, and now I cannot open the trunk and the windows are in the down position. I have checked fuses and nothing. I cannot figure out how to get the trunk open, button above the hood release is not working. Have any suggestions on how to open the trunk? Manually?
I watched your other reset video, and it said to watch THIS video for newer BMWs, but you don't say how new! I did this once on a 2014 Jaguar XF and had all sorts of problems afterwards - my wife has a 2019 X3 so will it work on that?
Any advice on this - it's a G01 model
I have an 2013 X5 Xdrive 35i. I had a coil replaced. The engine light is not appearing. Would it be good also to do this procedure???
Hello
I have replaced the front plates and the front sensor cable, the cable broke in half and I don't know how, but I soldered it back because I didn't have a new one with me, now when I start the brake light comes on as a warning, just like before I it's broken, it won't reset via the display. I wonder if the brake warning light would go out in this way, as you have now shown. Well, will the hidden functions be canceled -restored, thanks in advance for the answer. it is a bme F11-2015 2.0 D, 191hp :)
My 2011 x5, start giving to me the problem with AC, glove box and trunk not working at the same time, or all working. The car operates normally, it’s just this 3 things working or not working at the same time, never alone. Do you know that is this? Much appreciated.
Good video, will it solve chassis problem that makes front suspension goes down flat, when I press the level bottom the suspension goes up but it later deflates. It’s a 2017 bmw 7 series
You need always unplug negative pol first then positive pol --- but if you put cables on battery then you put positive pol first to battery then minus pol!!
Would trying this fix my high battery drain / active steering malfunction?
Hi dean, would this work to bring back my idrive as it’s stuck displaying bmw on screen on 2014 1 series 118
Thank you Dean! Do you know if this would reset a stage 1 map back to stock?
Good question, I also have stage 1
Anyone know if this trick will reset a stage 1 map yet? As I don't want it to.. so unsure wether to try it incase it does
Was curious will this work for 2014 X.3 2.8 L, kept throwing a check engine light for ambient sensor BMW says the DME needs to be replaced
Hi I have a air bag light and seat belt lights always coming up if I do this like you say will it clear BMW 120I CONVERTABLE 2010 MODEL
Thank you fo0r this video. I knew about the procedure quite a while ago, b7ut did not know if it would require any coding of the battery or other components. My E38 didn't require coding. Now I feel more confident in dong this before biting the bullet and taking my F01 to the shop (multiple misfires I can't eliminate with plugs and coils).

Hello mate, will this work on even newer versions without messing up anything? I have a 7 series G12, 2019. I don’t trust BMW main dealer. They made me change a water pump that didn’t need changing for a drivetrain message that was intermittently coming up. I was told an ECU reset would solve it. They’ve been messing me about.
Aloha all,
I have 2014 F30 that I recently gave to my son and picked up a 2023 G30. I love G30 because of the added space (being 6’ it’s awesome) and also loved the F30. I have a bit of a problem though right now with the G30. I installed an amp and sub into the F30 by tapping a LOC to the speaker wires myself. I then picked up the 2023 G30 and thought I could do the same but now I have no sound and the driver assistance warning systems are not working either. Any ideas? I put Everything back together but it hasn’t corrected yet. Do I need to drive it more for it to reset or do I need to do a reset? PLEASE HELP!
Did you fix it
Will this reset the “theft mode” on my e92 n54? I’ve had it happen before but had to take it to a shop for them to remap it to a stock tune and going “through the bmw dealer” to do so??
on my bmw e 46 sometimes when I turn on the ignition there is no light and then it won't start, and when I turn on the ignition and there is a light it starts every time, once I turned the key for 15 minutes until the lights appeared, is this also a problem with the fuse box and does the whole box have to be changed or only a specific fuse?? at the service center they want to replace the entire box, which is not very cheap.
Yeah I did this several 😂 times on my 2007 bmw 525xi and it work just got done replacing my alternator ruining fine engine like back on tho and going the check that out soon my my dash screen broke from water I replaced it but doesn’t come on would any
Know where that fuse would be?
Will the same procedure work on an E90?
Will it work on my 2004 330 ci convert ? Service light on- idling a little rough 103 k miles!
Will this work on 2005 X3 that show check engine sign due to MAF SENSOR?
I have a BMW 750 i XDRIVE 2016 how can I change the Second battery under the hood passenger side
Never heard of this method before but interesting to know. But how about the gearbox iteself? If you reset that one doesn't it need relearning? The whole cumbersome process of driving slow, accelerating, coasting back to initail speed, then manually selecting gears up to the last one and accelerating and coasting back again several times etc etc....?
Hey..... I was wondering if you could make a video on a problem I have. "inactive" is appearing on the oil settings.
I have a 06 330i and it stuck in neutral and won't start so I think it's the shifter cable would this help with that problem
@BMW Doctor - will this work on F30? Getting Drivetrain Malfunction, car will not Start, many random codes
Same
I have the same issue 😕 did you try on the f30 thanks
So I have a 2021 Supra, BMW at heart, will this work to clear driver and passenger restraint system errors?

Thanks,
