is the battery swap in diagnostics or coding?....and does the battery swap function just register a new battery for IBS...or does it REcode amperage values into the module too?....
Great video! Is this still the best coding tool from an app perspective in 2022? I’m trying to decide if I want to go the app route or turn my MacBook into a coding/ scanning tool.
Thanks for the review bud, This is a must have and it couldn't have come out at a better time! I had planned on grabbing the Bavarian tool for injector coding but i see no need with this application! Maybe later on i will for other things i have going on. Big TY again for all you do!👍
Thanks so much for the review made allot of things clear 😊 One question remains is it possible to programm burbles with this tool ? Would love to hear an answer
The only thing that intimidated me a little bit was when I was messing around with it for the Amp and I wanted to see what I could do as far as the coding and it came up with a Reset ECU function. That made me nervous because I was afraid I was going to change something in my settings for my Engine/DME and not solely on the Amp itself. Can you clarify what will happen should I press the Reset ECU function as it pertains to the Amp?? Thanks in advance, this is an awesome tool.
My car is in the shop right now, it is not communicating with the cas ews ews dme. Could it reset them? Also could radio be put in to transport mode? So no music comes out of FM radio?
Do you know where I can program my key fob to 'close' the trunk on the X5? According to Carly I need to disable the panic on the keyfob and it should work. Any ideas?
I got mhd just now using it, I downloaded the protool but when first installing and using first thing that popped up is back up the car... can I back up the car if I use mhd too. Using both wont hurt correct?
Hello BMW Fanatic & all others, I have a custom Eurocharged tune w/FBO. I know I will not be able to code myself, however will I be able to read the codes? Can I at least ready codes
I did this video when it first came out few years ago so I’ve been meaning to do a updated version of this to go through the menus so that’s probably why
I dont know if you are still replying to comments, but I hope so :) Is this compatible with E39? I have an OBD2 port in my car and its made in 2001. My second question is that is the BT adapter using ELM327 "protocol" or that is K+DCAN also? And lastly, is the protool app compatible with other dcan cables or it only can be used with their cable? Thank you for your answer! :)
Scott S Is you’re going to do the backend flash for MHD, you’ll need a KDCAN Cable and OTG Cable. I just added that in my description box 😀 And the Bluetooth adapter
i downloaded the program and got the blutooth adapter today and figured out everything except the option to unlock all 4 doors when turning the vehicle off. Where is that option located?
I wish this was out before I got Carly. However I don’t see much use in upgrading since it doesn’t seem to have many extra features over MHD, XHP, and Carly.
Great video, and thanks for sharing. FYI.. I ordered mine today Bluetooth Adapter - Hoping to get it soon. Also, Can you share your Valve cover gasket DIY and Oil Pan Gasket? Much appreciate
@@kptonez For sure, I saw the video and all the accessories one must remove ~ too many.. I'll do it as I'm also going to change my Coil Packs... Coming up on 65K.
I'm not sure if you have the same engine but I did a writeup when I changed mine with links to all the parts and tools. www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1491121
can the protool reset frm? i got a bimmergeeks bluetooth protool and now im stuck between getting the license and an androidphone to run it or get a schwaben professional scanner
Thanks for the video, it's really informative! I did have a quick question though. I just installed an aftermarket Android head unit into my car (since I bought one without the iDrive system). Ever since I've been getting an error that the SOS system is not active. Long story short the manufacturer is aware the error occurs on cars equipped with the SOS system. After some forum digging I have found out that you can code the system out of the car using INPA. What I'm wondering is if ProTool could do it as well. It would save me the hassle of setting up INPA! I sent a message to BimmerGeeks, but haven't heard back yet. If it's something that ProTool can take care of it should be under Most Gateway in the Entertainment section. Thanks!
@@BMWFanatic Thank you for the reply man! I just noticed the price went up to 150$ for the whole thing 🥲, I need to do my FRM Module and Injectors and logging would be good, which one would be best for me? The 90$ one or the 80$ one?
Really nice video man, Can u make a video how to program TCU with the car VIN number. I bought a used one for my E46 N46 but I need to flash with VIN. Many thanks in advance
Yes. You can also (as long as the Android device is linked to the same google acct) have it on multiple devices like MHD. It's not VIN linked tho, so that's amazing.
What I have discovered, as Goiter Shark has already said, is that the fees he shows in the video are one-time fees...no ongoing subscriptions. It will work on multiple devices - I have it installed on and have used it on both my car stereo (Eonon GA9165B) and my Lenovo tablet. And it is also apparently not VIN locked...I have used it on my 2006 330i as well as my cousin’s 2011 328i. It can be difficult to find what you’re looking for in it unless you’re already fairly knowledgeable of the app and/or the BMW systems and sub-systems, which I’m still a noob, so I have to scroll and scroll looking for things. I wish it had a keyword search feature. I have utilized their tech support help and they were fairly quick in their response, which did resolve my issue, by the way. I got the BimmerGeeks Bluetooth adapter and it works great.
It looks really promising a tool that the busy working man 9 to 5 should have to save time and hassle waiting for responses, wife nagging for shopping and kids, good good you go in and then out with the tool what can you do in 10 mins niffy welcome lights and comfort access lovely - role on payday!
@@robbisson6506 tell me what's false about my statement, what is your experience? I work in the trade and own pretty much every bit of kit for BMW so I can say to you with confidence that this tool is not anywhere near half of my kit. AVDI, Autohex, BMW explorer and ISTA.

i suggest that you bring to mechanic for more complex issues. from my knowledge f10 has a cheap grommets that fail and cause the active steering unit to get flooded. in such casses, its better to take to mechanic. only use this to understand a problem or fix it yourself if its a small problem
Thank you for the tutorial. The engine light of my car came on a month ago, it is the right side DRL/parking lamp mulfunction, and I replaced the light bulb, and wrapped up all the exposing wire, it is still not working, I guess the LCM module shut down the power to the DRL, so is it possible to solve the circuit short problem and reset the LCM the module?

My right headight got water in it and fried. Replaced headlight and still wasn't working , used pro tool to reset any shorts in the car . headlight works now . 07 335i
Here’s the list of BMW vehicles that it’s compatible with 😎
1series: E81, E82, E87, E88

why not E46?
BMW Fanatic so compared to the Bavarian scan tool which one you feel is better?
BMW Fanatic
?
E39 ?
Do you know if this tool will code/program new virgin keys to the car ?
Here’s the link to the Bluetooth adapter!

Man!! they jacked up the prices since this.
They've definitely jacked em up since this
Been waiting for this! Finally get to program my new index 12 fuel injectors. No more of the old INPA on windows XP crap! Lol
Mike Saelee I know, right!
Blue stacks android emulator on pc.
Inpa is not for coding or programming.. Idiot.
just purchased a 2011 135i thanks for info on pro tool you have a new subscriber
I would love to get one of these, but it appears that it would not work for my 2003 Z4 (E85)
is the battery swap in diagnostics or coding?....and does the battery swap function just register a new battery for IBS...or does it REcode amperage values into the module too?....
I contacted Bimmer geeks, it's in diagnostics.
Nice review , does it work with any Bluetooth obd2 adapter or only the same brand ??
Hi. Great vid! The only part i'm lost at is the MAP ZERO, volume down button, etc. Do you have a vid on this process? I drive a 7 series.
malikbukaii nyc that’s only if you have a jb4 system. You probably don’t have it so don’t have to worry.
Thank you ! Some of the coding features are a little intimidating but I am so much more better informed now :) Subscribed!

N54 Lord Bavarian Technic doesn’t do injectors btw!
N54 Lord thanks man 👌🏻
BMW Fanatic Wow wasn't sure! My NT510 by Foxwell does some but still has limits. Thanks for the heads up👍
Thanks so much for the review made allot of things clear 😊
One question remains is it possible to programm burbles with this tool ?
Would love to hear an answer
FKLYFE this isn’t a tune, so no. You would need MHD to do so...I wouldn’t do the burbles though. Not a fan of unburnt fuel in my exhaust
Is that a one time purchase? Or only valid for a period of time?
can you recommend a diagnostic tool like this compatible with iphone 8 plus. Or a stand alone device.
The only thing that intimidated me a little bit was when I was messing around with it for the Amp and I wanted to see what I could do as far as the coding and it came up with a Reset ECU function.

Hello, do know how to remove the LIMIT red signal at 120km/h. My dealer says i cannot since my E92 335i is coming from Dubai? Thx
Will the Inpa cable work with the pro tools as well?
@BMW Fanatic I'm thinking of getting this but not sure if the cable is faster than the BT adapter.
Thanks for the great vid though!
Is this also applicable to 2007-2013 Mini Cooper R56? Thanks
Can you use the protool to program the diversity antenna e60
Are you in Saratoga Springs?

Anyone know if Pro Tool has the capability to reset the dreaded ELV counter? Already ordered my expert cable, can't wait to play around with this.
I wonder if i can program a gm5 module in an e46 with this programing. Wyt ?
Can you program a cars VIN for a ABS module that you installed on a car?
can you code out the adaptive headlights with this app?
Yes
Do you know where I can program my key fob to 'close' the trunk on the X5? According to Carly I need to disable the panic on the keyfob and it should work. Any ideas?
I wonder if I have to flash mhd back to stock if I use this.
Hi, Salute, i have a question, does the Carly ODB and app work on a 2006 325I ?
does it work on the F07? and can i code my new index 12 fuel injectors?
I got mhd just now using it, I downloaded the protool but when first installing and using first thing that popped up is back up the car... can I back up the car if I use mhd too. Using both wont hurt correct?
How can this tool or tools be used to perform Data logging?

I know I will not be able to code myself, however will I be able to read the codes?
Can I at least ready codes
Will MHD wireless ob2 work with protool?
Great demo awesome tool!!! Like you said Game changer!!!!
Can you use your BAVARIAN TECHNIC cable?
^^^ WHAT HE SAID
Any other scan tools that’ll code in new injectors?
I can use another adapter on that app?
Yes
I'm confused... I have Protool and it looks very different! Yours looks much more intuitive than my menus
I did this video when it first came out few years ago so I’ve been meaning to do a updated version of this to go through the menus so that’s probably why
You’re looking at an older version . This video is 6 years old.

Can you code in replacement parts with the diagnostic package
can you use for many cars or only one car?
Can this completely replace inpa/ista?
I need to replace my footwell module in a 135i. -08. can this app be used for this?
Nice. If I'm gonna get a jb4 both back flash and the other which cable should I get?
Scott S Is you’re going to do the backend flash for MHD, you’ll need a KDCAN Cable and OTG Cable. I just added that in my description box 😀
And the Bluetooth adapter
will it undo the steering wheel lock for 335i e90 2007?
Was wondering same thing how did u go
Can it reset the ELV counter on e87 ?
Does this read ABS lights or codes cause i know 1 of my speed sensor is bad but don’t know which one 🤯🤦🏽♂️ thanks in advance
i downloaded the program and got the blutooth adapter today and figured out everything except the option to unlock all 4 doors when turning the vehicle off. Where is that option located?
With the M drive will that include the M performance logo when starting up?
Can it do software updates, like transmission module .. etc ??
I wish this was out before I got Carly. However I don’t see much use in upgrading since it doesn’t seem to have many extra features over MHD, XHP, and Carly.
there are always extra because you have got BMW Fanatic doing live streams using the product and thank you for the Demo
Um, it does injector coding. That's one thing I know those others don't

Can this do an FRM voltage reset?
Which one includes coding the injectors?
I just bought the Bavarian tool . Should I return ? Or keep both. I plan on getting this one just for injectors
heatchamps2011 I have a Bavarian Technic one too and I would still keep it since that’s one great too for a laptop base of a program
What does it do for the convertible as far as coding?
Keala Kato no but alot of the stuff he showed he didn't have so what's your point
@@trinibo11 Open, close etc from the fob. From what I saw, I don't have a vert tho.
Is there an option on pro tool to perform a bleed/vent of the cooling system ?
key in ignition, max temp on climate control, press acceleration pedal and press start button..... electric water pump should do a 7 min cycle
Will that also work with a MHD Wifi adapter???

coolant temp
I wonder if I can disable Adaptive Headlights option since my car doesn't have them anymore. And this warning, ugh.
Yes it can, I used it to clear the adaptive headlight warning
model and type of tablet? where did you get it?
Very nice for a phone powered diagnostic tool. But I'd rather have a dedicated "deep" tool like the foxwell 520 for BMW. Similar pricing.
Foxwell is garbage compared to this.
So my Protools Studio version won’t work the same then...??? Bummer.!
Do u know what “2 stage wipers” is?
Will there be an Apple version? If not I will have to resort to using my kids tablets lol.
Really nice video man,
Can u make a video how to program TCU with the car VIN number. I bought a used one for my E46 N46 but I need to flash with VIN.

Well looks like I’m getting the coding one to start and if can’t do something with my MHD I’ll download the other tool! Thanks brother!
fast02gt yep that's what I'm thinking as well
MHD has benefits, there's no flashing at the same level for different Maps in this tool There are no Maps.
