    Good video post. One important Note about Foxwell --- Updating Foxwell scanner software can ONLY be performed using a Windows computer, NOT a Mac (at least not that I have found).

    Can you make a video turorial on how to use INPA?

    Just bought foxwell NT510 elite, it is not intuitive and support takes days to respond. Unfortunately, returning the device
    Launch looks like a nice product so far

    Hey man, I think you should try to advertise your channel. Its painful to see you getting barely any views. Great video as always man!

      Haha I'm trying! I used to post to reddit and facebook, but then those groups have rules against self promotion. Best thing for the videos is to like, comment, and watch all the way through. Otherwise, people can share with friends by word of mouth, etc. Do you have any other ideas? I just need one viral video to really pop-off... 🤔

      @@TheBimmerBarn Here are some things I’d be interested in. Having a budget you start with, let’s say 5,000$ and a car in mind, for example f80 M3. You’ll use only money from that budget to buy cars, fix them and flip for profit. You’ll show the process of finding and buying them as well as repairing. Another idea is to add some car that you will be building for a certain purpose, by restoring it and modifying it, doing it on budget.

      @@TheBimmerBarn I think building a project car will have people interested in that build coming back to your channel. Because your channel being DIY only, gets only short term views by people that want to get something done. By no means don’t stop your DIYs because they are great, I’m just saying that adding something specific and long term might just work for your channel.

      @@TheBimmerBarn I think your channel has great content, I'm particularly interested because I also own an E46 wagon but I guess is not the type of car that will get you the most views unfortunately. I assume you know about the M539 restorations channel, that is a good reference of a BMW channel growing quickly to take some ideas from. Good luck!

    I know this is old but May be I will get an answer here. I have 2004 BMW M3, that needs quite a bit of work. Main problem - convertible top. Would Foxwell be able to read the codes on it, or do I need the full blown laptop version? Thank you

    • @TheBimmerBarn
      @TheBimmerBarn  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Foxwell should be able to communicate with the convertible top module no problem! But usually those problems are mechanical, like bent frame or leaking cylinders. Good luck and thanks for watching!

      I have an iCarsoft scanner too, it freezes up every once in a while... The Foxwell performs good, but they do have other models with more features. I'd love to try getting an Autel or other expensive scanner one day.

    The k+D CAN cable only works for INPA not ISTA. Ista needs a enet cable. And inpa doesn't need a powerful latop, you can run it on a dou core intel on windows xp, also..... stop lying about your laptop, shit cost about 400 bucks at most, not 8 to 9 hundred

    100GB HD? LOL. Anyway, the INPA OBD2 Cable is the best way to go. Most people have a laptop or tablet that has way more storage space than 100GB, besides you can just plug in a USB HD and install the software on it... Your assumptions are completely incorrect.
