BMW Coding & Diagnostics

[GERMANIKS]

Gone the same way as SpaghettiCoder I'd say, pity. Www.bmwcables.co.uk seems to be still up & running, they also have a simplified install interface.

I have seen the bmw cables one, pretty crap compared to bmtechnic one. The installer is fine but the daten are way out.
There is anotherone from Romania too, same idea as bmtechnic. I have no experience on this one

Found those guys too if that's any good to anyone.
I have no experience with them though

What this does this mean (for the user) ?

That means the daten files provided were very old so in essence you could not code/diagnose recent cars. The customer I have seen a few months back just bought this kit from them and even INPA was not working. It was running but there was no car you could select from the main interface. It was just so messy and not fully working. Back at the time I advised him to buy the BMTechnic one.
I don't know maybe they improved it since...

I found the Romanian one I came across before.

This works. Just reset airbag / seatbelt lights with INPA.

With the highly rated bmtechnic cables gone.Can anybody recommend a set up as straight forward as there's or is it just pot luck. I am no computer genius and the simple one step install sounded almost foolproof.Failing recommendations advise on what to avoid appreciated.I know this flagged as important, would it be possible to get this thread updated with next best option. Thanks .ps my query is for.a facelift e39 but any good system should also be mentioned for newer/older cars.
