Hello!

Just posting this message for something pretty obvious that I managed to overlook.
If you have more than one Bmw (in my case another 3 series) you can reset error codes although your car is not married to the AP. Since I have used the 3 vins on my Bt cable, and didn't have Inpa installed I thought I should give it a shot, since a friend wanted to get rid of a code.
I really didn't feel like installing Inpa and get it going so I just tried it on my wifes car, and the AP clears error codes just perfect.

A lot easier for clearing codes, since you don't have to carry a laptop around!

The COBB AccessPORT will allow for you to read and clear your car for codes. It's definitely a feature that is great and extremely useful. For those of you who aren't sure how to do so, you can check out the video below for a tutorial!

With the BT you can reset service intervalls as well, that you can't do with the AP. You could also download INPA and NCSExpert and buy an Ebay-cable, that's cheaper than the Bavtech but also a lot more work to get going.

To reset codes, I prefer the AP since it's a lot easier to transport than a laptop, which you would need for the BT as well as the Ebay cable.

The AP also works to reset 5 series codes! At least Airbag codes.

True, but you can reset them by using the odometer and BC stalk.

not yet, will plug in my COBB after this football game ends.

curious as all I did was have an aftermarket battery installed.

you guys have an opinion on 'registering' batteries? I've seen advice both yea and nay.
