Calibrating injectors on a BMW sounds like a big deal and could get very, very expensive if taken to a dealer or even an independent shop. The reason you would want to adjust the injector compensation rate would be after replacing your injectors, replacing the ECU or DME or swapping the engine in my case. Each computer is coded for the injectors on that engine and must be recoded in order to work properly. Normally this job would require ISTA or an Autologic tool which costs in the thousands. Fortunately, there is a cheaper way to calibrate the injectors using the tool above for only $50-60 which is much cheaper than even an hour of shop time. The car I'm performing this service on is a BMW Z4.

Thank you soo much for posting! I’ve been chasing my 2008 335i’s “limp mode” / cyl #3 misfires by cleaning VANOS solenoids, replacing coil pack, spark plug, adaptation reset. Finally bought recon index 12 injector but wanted to try recode old index 8 first. 1st wired OBD2 couldn’t code at all, 2nd “made for BMW” Bluetooth OBD2 could do a lot more but NOT code injectors. Finally got this Autel and I installed the new-used injector, coded it w/MaxiAP200 and bam like you im GOLDEN! She purrs like a kitten! Gotta road test still so please, prayers everybody!?! Mahaloz again and good luck to you all!!! Aloha 🙏🏽😎🤙🏾🏝️
Hi.
Came back after changing injectors , and coding the new injectors with this bluetooth adapter
Before coding the new injectors , the car had a slight missfire , but after coding them , the car runs so smooth .
Thank you very much
My car runs so smooth now
Wow, thanks for the video, I’ve had this tool for over a year and never thought it did this, I actually need to do this as I had to change an injector,
Massive thanks again 👍
You made this video so simple. Nice one man ✊🏽
thanks for showing this not a lot of videos on injector programming. I have a different brand car and this was still helpful
Thanks this info I didn’t even know I would have to do this it will be very handy once my injectors get here 👌🏾👌🏾
I have been chasing a lean code for 3 weeks after engine replacement . This was the entire problem 👍👍👍 exelaint video !!
Hey ..since you used this..is there any reason why the codes won't save after several attempts?
Glad it helped Thanks for watching!!
@@SimpleCarGuy I think my injectors are bad my values say 252, 248, 271, and 261
@SimpleCarGuy how much is one of these? Can I get them in the uk?
I paid about $50, if I remember correctly. Check description, I should have links to UK store as well, if not you’d have to check on Amazon or whichever store you prefer.
Muy bien video. Podrías hacer un vídeo sobre el test de componentes.
Component test.
Saludos desde México
Deffo subscribe very good video 10/10 information and step by step 👌🏽👌🏽
Much appreciated!
very good my brother
One of the best videos i have seen - and simple - right to it - question with the AP2000 app can you run the engine while doing diagnostics or even when programing the injectors. Also how do you tell what version of indexed injector you have - lets say i have an indexed injector of a value of 7 could you put a higher number index injector - sorry i am learning -
Very helpful thanks
Thank you for watching, hopefully it will same you some time and money.
Thank you so much! I've been looking for a BMW coding tool for the injectors for my 2013 BMW 328i via Windows 10. However, this is much simpler and exactly what I need.
Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching!
SimpleCarGuy Thank you so much again. Autel MaxiAP200 is great. It turned out that all I need to do is to change the fuel injectors compensation value to the correct values. I compared the read-out values for cylinder 1-4 and the actual numbers on the fuel injectors. It turned out that whoever maintained the fuel injectors on the BMW 328i I bought, never changed the values. After changing the adjustment values to the correct values and saved them. The misfired error code was cleared! I bought a new injector and remove&install fuel injector for nothing. Thanks so much for recommending Autel MaxiAP200. I couldn’t do much with the AUTOPHIX 7810 diagnostic tool for BMW-Mercedes-Mini!
@@LuanNguyen-rm3pb I'm glad this worked for you just as it worked for me! Luckily I found out that injectors on these cars must be programmed before replacing them. Everyone I talked to wanted stupid money for just programming so for $50-60 and 10 minutes of time this is a no brainer! Hope she runs forever for you.
@@LuanNguyen-rm3pb friend when registering autelmaxi ap200 it asks for vcı serial no where is that no please
Thanks

@@SimpleCarGuy after I purchase the autel maxi ap200, how much roughly for the bmw software to get the injectors coded? Do I need to do the process on a laptop or use the tool direct to vehicle?
Thanks for the video! Very well made and clear to me. I'm thinking to buy this ap200.
Thank you for watching. Definitely worth the $50-60.
I have this tool and it is really powerful for what it is. But I wish or hope they include the SMG bleeding and learn in program in an update.
Thank you
Why does it say hot function is not supported on m vehicle ? I have a bmw 2011 328xi and I need to reprogram the fuel injectors .
thank you for sharing this video. i also want to ask, does this Autel MaxiAP200 can also be use in key programming?
215 means they are original injectors, they've probably never been changed, so don't get rid of your original ones which are probably updated or replacement ones. the oem ones were prone to leaking, and giving misfires on startup or emitting tons of black smoke on deceleration. I wonder if the new values are based on the flow rates, I just did injectors on an N55 and they were all different.
Amazing
Thanks. The video was clear and using the AP200 app to change the adjustment codes worked smoothly (after I finally got the 5GB of app/data installed).
Much cheaper vs. taking to a shop.
However, when I started the car a couple times, strangely I didn’t notice much difference. Same
time to start and rough idol. Injector code on one cylinder of my N55 was even changed from 238 to 175. With such a large difference I expected some kind of effect (either good or bad). (BTW, my X5 has no error codes.)
So far, I have driven the car 1.5 hours (30 miles) on the corrected codes.
I noticed the last screen of the AP200 adjustment code procedure tells you to delete the learned adjustments. I wonder if this really helps/ is required? I would have thought the engine would make adjustments on its own after some driving.
remember your pcm changes fuel trims to make sure it delivers right amount of fuel,long term and short term.if you been driving long like this with wrong injectors your pcm adjusted to compensate so when you changed injectors the pcm needs to correct for this and make adjustments so i would not be alarmed at a ruff start when doing this the first couple times
Hii, do you know where to have a course to learn how to operate fully the obd diagnostic such as autel & otofix to fix a car? Thanks
Thank you and I want to ask you does it include the all cars for first time please
First make is free, additional makes of cars are $20, I believe.
My 2007 N54 has 2 values per injector that INPA (for example) requires for an injector change.
What do you use for paint to make it look like mirror
Hello. I like so much your video but still dont understand how turn off terminal R. Did many times coding but its not works.Please explain turn off terminal 15 and off. Thank you
Hi.
I managed to code my injectors as you explained in the tutorial , but the car runs even rougher than before , so i had to put the old values back in order to be able to drive it .
The codes were for example abcdef 123456 . I just typed the letters , without numbers , as the previous values were saved the same
Any ideea what can be ? Faulty injector ?
Thank you
Can this also be used for reprogramming an engine after replacing it with same engine different vin ? Also can I program a
Transmission module ?
How do I find the values on my injector, I have lots of numbers on the top but non that are only 3 numbers long
Hi I own a Kia optima im having same issue just a really rough idle when its been sitting for a while I do remember buying new injectors and shop installing them but I don't know or asked if they reprogrammed them. Could this be reason why my cold start is much rougher and seems to stay there longer??
I just bought this tool for sprinter injectors coding , but it doesn't show injectors on service menu ? you can only see ( oil reset/ EPB/TEMPS/DEF/Immo Keys / and SAS That all of it on menu .. any idea !! ( I purchased Benz package though that will solve the problem but still missing and thats the latest update as well am using android by the way )
Unfortunately I don’t know if the tool does the same functions on other makes of cars, I’ve tested it on BMWs and Minis only.
Thanks for your video,I changed the injectors in my audi a3 with the same code number injectors refurbished,do I need to code them to...please
If the are the same compensation numbers, no.
what do i do if hot function is unavailable? 2011 328i n52?
Does this really work? Will it work on e60 6 cylinder engine I need to program 6 injectors
thank god i stick with the n52
It does not give me the option to do anything with injectors under the service screen. 2012 335i N55.
Hi man, this looks promising to me rather than taking the car to the dealer. Do you know if this tool works on Toyota as well? Thanks in advance!
Yes, it does. I haven’t tried on Toyota, but the option is there.
I have questions about the maxiapp 200 it is have a biderictional control or actuator test function?
I don’t believe it does. Are you talking about turbo actuator or?
Cant find thid exact one on amazon. Help??
Great video. I just had an engine swap done (2012 X5 35i E70 (N55)) w/o injector adjustment.
I found the adjustment numbers written on my 6 injectors. If I put in these numbers into the DME (as per your video) and performance gets worse for some reason, can I switch the numbers back in the DME and engine goes back to operating as it does now?
Detail: May seem like a strange question, but the injectors in the engine now have 23,000 miles (since 2011), so I wonder if the adjustment numbers have the same meaning. Or if you change the injector numbers in the DME, it resets other calibration of the engine?
Car starts and runs reasonably ok now. But idle seems a little more shaky and some puttering sound compared to before the swap.
Yes, you can put old numbers back in without a problem. It does not change anything else when you adjust.
@@SimpleCarGuy Awesome. I'm going to adjust it this weekend.
Hey man do you know if this scanner works in diesel injectors ? I have a 2011 duramax
Not very fimiliar with diesel trucks, so I can't give you a definitive answer. I suggest checking with the company to be sure so you don't waste your money.
Great video. Can you identify what fuel injectors are installed? Such as EU# so that I can purchase the right replacement.
Yes, you can. Thanks for watching!
Is this a bi directional scsnner? Can i actuate my cooling fans?
I don’t think you can actuate cooking fans, but it has some features like that, programming keys, battery registration, injector adjustments, idle adjustment etc.
Hi, do you know if is it possible to code injectors after replacing them with this device?
Yes, it is possible.
I noticed when you save the values (toward the end) it says "switch off terminal 15 and terminal R". Do you need to do anything then? It seems like a message about the ignition / electric system.
It just means turn off the ignition and pull the key out.
I keep getting this & then also it shows new values could not be saved as old values are permantly saved the old value numbers still saved
@@SimpleCarGuy ^^^
@@340ANTONIO340 I searched EVERYWHER to find this. The answer is to hit the Start/Stop button once for Terminal 15 and the double lock via the key fob remote to switch off Terminal R.
I did everything you said, Thank you..only thing is my codes won't save after several tries ...they default back to the old numbers? Any suggestions???
Are you saving the values to the car? At 8:00 I save the newly entered numbers to the DME.
Yes I did it exactly like you did..it says error.. the 6 numbers are correct..and then my key fob doesn't work after entering the new values..I have to manually open the door? Any clue?
I don’t know, my man. I’ve done it in multiple cars and had no issues.
Will this scan tool work with the N73 Engine built in 2006?
If the engine has programmable injectors, it should work. I’ve tried on n14, n20 and n63u engines.
Also just replaced an engine from a 2013 to a 2017, the new ones were all matched at 217... Seems very curious. Guess someone at bmw has a lot of time to match injectors
I've seen that as well! Sometimes they just have a perfect set, I guess.
Doesn’t work for me , it just puts the old number back on the log . I’ve tried to change it like 13030277 times still doesn’t work
So, why do dealerships and shops charge hundreds to code injecrors? It seems like it took less than half an hour to do.
They are using much more expensive tools, so I guess that would be the justification for charging more.
They wanted to charge me 600 for my low pressure condenser line and another 800 for refrigerate and labor! I found brand new line made by bmw on ebay for 120 and replaced it myself. It was a pain tho I bought the foxwell elite at pelican parts for 225 because I bought new coils and I replaced the water pump and thermostat. I decided to replace the oil filter housing gasket before I filled it up with new coolant. I hade to buy gasket for the intake and throttle body because they have to be removed. I'll say one thing, after working on these cars domestic Vehicles will be a breeze
@simplecarguy i tried it with the same app and plugin and it did not program my new injectors.
Was it on BMW? Did you have the option in the app?
Hey I bought the AP200M after watching your video to code a bmw 116i injectors I followed your instructions however when I get to service options. The injector coding isn’t available? Please help
I haven’t used the M version, so I don’t know if it’s any different. What options do you have when you go to the service options? Did you activate your free license for BMW? Do injectors have to be programmed on 116i and what engine is it?
SimpleCarGuy hey thanks for getting back to me quickly, I bought the M version because it’s meant to be the same but abit more updated. The only service options I have are oil reset, Sas, dpf, bms, throttle. And yes I activated my license for bmw and installed and updated everything :( it’s a 1.6 l 2007 n43 Bmw
@@waviestbeatz2205 Honestly, that's really weird. I would contact their support to see why it's not showing up for you. I checked and your n43 engine does require the adjustment. I've tried on 3 different BMW engines and the option showed up. All cars were 2011 and newer, not sure if that makes a difference.
You have to download the bmw vehicle
@@jazzydavis5168 friend the play store app is not enough for bmw diagnostic, how do we download the bmw vehicle
Many times,when doing injector compansate code ,some injector value fail to be compansated ,why ???
What values are you entering?
Your injectors show only one value but mine on the N43 engine (E91, 2010 318i) have two values... how does it work in that case?
Yes, it will work. You’ll have to program whatever value is on the injectors in the correct sequence. The values could be different on all 4-6 cylinders.
@@SimpleCarGuy sorry, what I meant is that there are two values written on each injector and both are needed to code them properly. The first value corresponds to the energy in mJ and the second one to flow. In my case: 574 and 212 for injector 1...
So for my injectors Autel AP200 app would need to prompt me for the two values for each injector. The BMW E90 engine's eg. N54 and N43 must use different injectors as your engine in the Z4 apparently only gives you one value!?
Hope this explains my question more clearly..
That makes sense. As far as I’m aware, you only program the second value in. I haven’t seen any scanners programming more than value in. In your case you’d just program the 214 value for the injector.
when do you normally need to use injector coding?
Whenever you replace the injectors.
Sir can u modify fuel injectors for low consumption of petrol..like modification of fuel injectors spray timing etc?
Not using this tool, this allows you calibrate it for perfect fuel to air ration. Reducing fuel will just make the car run lean and cause issues.
@@SimpleCarGuy Were you having bad fuel economy prior to coding it ?
Can this do Injector Coding on Chevy Colorado?
It should be able to, but I'm not familiar with Chevy
this works with the n63 engine coding injectors ?
Yes, it does!
Yeah my 2013 n63 is having issues with a stuck open injector and I changed the fuel injector that was stuck open and being how I didn't program it the same code keeps popping up will be buying this just to try it.
Does this work for a bmw n55 engine?
Yes, it does.
Yow man how to remove the scanner it's stuck I can't remove the plug
Just pull it!? I’ve never had one stuck before.
Now how do you unplug it
Just pull it out.
👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
And terminal R
I bought the exact same autotel, no Injector option
Yea same here 😬
Some Cars are not compatible with Fuel injector
Code injector for all Car brands ?
You have to buy software for each make, but yes, it can do all supported cars.
@@SimpleCarGuy is this beter or the thinkdiag ?
Android users: Be aware that Autel has pulled the MaxiAP200 software *off* Google Play as of 8/30/2019. I found the APK from a third party and it suffers from buggy Bluetooth connectivity and inability to register the device (tried on three Android devices). (The MaxiAP tool in Google Play now is *not* the right version). The QR Code link in the instructions no longer works. The Apple version works much better, but I have had trouble with certain functions. Beware!
I haven’t had any issues in the iPhone, what didn’t work for you? I’m gonna keep an eye on the android version for my Android bros. Any idea why they pulled it?
@simplecarguy No idea why they pulled it, but if my experience with the version I did find was representative, it was just unusable. My problem on the Apple version (on my son's iPad) is with a loss of comm during IMMO smart code learning sessions. Can't say for sure that's an app issue; I got much farther on the Apple version than the Android. They can't keep that software out forever and keep selling it as an Android-compatible device.... Really frustrating. I put in a support request on their live chat line and it was never answered.
@@thewiseguysorlando8557 No, it isn't. I have downloaded the actual Ap200 software from Autel directly per their direction. The AP200 app is back in the play store as of 9/22/19.
Old ones are EU5 new ones are EU6
Yes, that's correct. It actually flashed the type of injectors on his phone. I know 215's are EU6 because those are the types I have on my 2016 F10. I am in the process of changing them now and my Foxwell scanner confirmed the type.
This is advertise for autel
This is not a sponsored video, I bought the device with my own money and decided to make the video on my own.
Number one replace your battery. That car is turning over way too slow. I’m probably not telling you anything you don’t know. You have to start with good voltage in German cars or the engines run like garbage and throw random codes.
So.....you didn't really compensate anything except for advertising this autel dongle?
What do you mean, I adjusted the injector compensation on the car and fixed my rough idle. This product wasn't sent to me for free or anything, I bought it myself and paid full price.
@@SimpleCarGuy friend this works for both petrol and diesel bmw engines ?
And how do we pay and download for the second and therd brands, and thanks for your informative wel done video
