FAQ
Will this work with my K+DCAN cable? No. It requires the PASOFT interface.
Will it work on my E36 or E34? E36 yes, usually with the 20-pin adapter. E34 with limited functions.
Can it turn off my airbag (SRS) light? It can read and clear SRS fault codes in MRS4 modules. If the fault is still there, such as a bad seat sensor or clockspring, the light will come back until the part is fixed.
Which should I buy? Already have the PASOFT interface: this software. Starting from scratch: the Scanner Kit.
