I used this same tool (although it is the #808) to reset the air bag light on my 2004 X5 after swapping out the front seats. The code it "threw" was '10' '70' which in the manual is table 40, & '70' refers to the passenger seat sensor mat. Be patient, as it took no less than six tries to reset the light. As he says wait til it stops flashing, and it should stay off. Best $20 I ever spent, although there was that night in Vegas!😂
I purchased this tool after Autozone told me they didn't have the right device to do it there. I used it on my 97 BMW Z3 and it worked like a champ. As the video shows, the manual is pretty much written in broken English., but you can get through it. It did not work to clear the airbag light when I plugged it into the port that is inside the car, on the passenger side. I then plugged it into the port located on the engine.....they include the engine plug in as well. In 5 secs, the code was cleared just as the manual showed. Best $22 I've ever spent! BTW, I doubt the air bags are faulty, as I checked the wiring under the seat and it all looked good. I did use electrical cleaner spray on the contacts that are located on the left side of each seat. Just carefully unplug the cap and spray. Not sure if it was necessary or part of the problem, but it was suggested on a BMW forum.
Ed, thank you for sharing your experience here. It is a tricky tool to use, but does work once you learn how to get it to work (and its quirks). I've since moved onto a C310+ scan tool which is about $60 on Amazon. It is amazing and gets into all of the BMW systems: airbag, srs, abs, transmission, engine, modules and on board systems. Definitely recommend that one now!
It should do the trick. It can take several attempts to get it to cooperate so give it many chances and be patient! There are better scanners now but they’re 3X the price.
@@BIMMERZEITT thanks, I will do. I have a fair bit of patience 🤣. Managed to buy pretty much the same scanner on Amazon so 🤞it comes in early next week.
This is just for the SRS airbag system! Seatbelt sensor, seat occupancy mat, driver and passenger airbags, seat belt tensioner, the list goes on (of common errors experienced with these cars) . For all other codes or an all-in-one I'd recommend this one: amzn.to/2kiz95L
BIMMER ZEIT haha cool fair enough, I just wanted to add your videos are very well detailed and thorough. I really appreciate them as I'm sure many others do. Thanks!
jahvana HSKT leah I am recommending the creator c310+ about $50 on amazon these days much better than this tool. Check my videos for a talk about various scan tools

All worked as per your instructions! Thank you for sharing!
For the Z3 you have to plug it in under the hood not inside the car

Update: it works! But, i need to check the left curtain airbag module because the connection most likely needs to be cleaned or the module replaced.
Will the airbag still fire, seeing as it was a fault with the firing circuit?
Do you know what Code 00 is? I keep getting 00, 05, which I know is the airbag but I'm not sure and it won't reset.
I got the same code and did the clearing process light comes back on after the blinking part shortly after staying off for a few secs
Thanks a lot for the video! I´ve just finiseh to ressete the air bag lamp from may BMW z3!

I beg your pardon for my English!

Hello,what else i can i fix if i have this airbag scan, only airbag light?Or any light problem...
This is just for the SRS airbag system! Seatbelt sensor, seat occupancy mat, driver and passenger airbags, seat belt tensioner, the list goes on (of common errors experienced with these cars) . For all other codes or an all-in-one I'd recommend this one: amzn.to/2kiz95L
Does this work on the 6 series?
Can you share a contact for customer service for B800 scanner...
I'm getting an "E 10" Code?..
Same. Did you find a solution?
link for Amazon not working
Thanks !
I have an OBD 1 318ti. I swapped seats and now I've got an airbag light. Do you happen to know how to deal with OBD 1 lights?
hey Phil, I forgot to mention this B800 comes with the OBD 1 adapter (round port) plug as well. Haven't reset one of those in many years though!
BIMMER ZEIT haha cool fair enough, I just wanted to add your videos are very well detailed and thorough. I really appreciate them as I'm sure many others do. Thanks!
That means a lot, thank you!
Yup I see that your comment is 3 years old, but let me guess. That turned out to be the Seat Occupancy Sensor, right?
Old post I know, but has anyone tried this toll.on later than '03 models??
I recommend this scan tool now: th-cam.com/video/yxuWEJx1GiE/w-d-xo.html
C310: amzn.to/2ZT7lrv (affiliate)
I scanned mine and it came up wit 10 E and it couldnt do anything after that😩

Mine did the exact same thing! I was going to return it, but it cost more to ship it back to China than the tool cost...big waste of 20 bucks
J- Kane get the creator c310+ much better does everything for $55 highly recommend!
@@BIMMERZEITT mine ended up resetting its self and havent had any issues
Hello thanks for the video any idea if is working on a 745li 2003 I'm trying but just error 10 any suggestions. Thanks again
I believe this would work for your car since it is an obd2 can't guarantee it but worth a try
Hey mate does this work on a 2007 bmw Mini Cooper s
I’d recommend a better all-in-one scan tool in 2023 check Amazon maybe $60-$100 range
