FOXWELL Obd2 Female to 20pin Extension Convert Adapter OBD1 to OBD II Cable (11 Inch)

Bought this product as I had a confusing array of warnings coming up on my BMW - which were affecting the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and therefore the control of the car. Checking on line forums etc. the fault could have been with a wheel speed sensor or it could have been the DSC/ABS control unit. The difference in cost ranging from £100 to £1700 for repair!! Trouble was, I didn't know where the fault actually was and I really didn't want to put the car into a BMW service centre and potentially get the run round and a very big bill.So, after some research, opted for this little beauty and I am so glad I did. It's not the cheapest, but the cheaper variants out there tend to only do the engine management codes and not the additional ones that I needed.Plugged in to the OBD2 socket and followed the on screen instructions to automatically upload my vehicle VIN and complete an auto scan. Just so easy to do. Scan revealed that the left rear wheel sensor had a "plausibility issue" - that immediately pinpointed the problem area. I cleaned up the dubious sensor (just in case) and took the car for a test drive - the DSC problem was still there. So with the NT510 connected and receiving live data - the ability to select all channels or specific ones is a real neat feature, I went for another test drive. It was immediately clear that the left rear wheel sensor was the problem as the recorded data showed that, every now and again, the left rear wheel was detected as going faster than the other 3 wheels (which is why the DSC system was trying to compensate) - see attached graphs. I bought a new sensor from BMW (£104), fitted it myself and, using the NT510, cleared all fault codes and went for another test drive with no more problems. Hugely impressed with the NT510 - it saved me a lot of time (not needing to book the car in for inspection) and clearly showed me exactly where the problem lay, allowing me to fix it myself - just for the cost of the parts. Had I not been able to fix it, I still would have been much better placed for engaging with the service centre.As a bonus, I was also able to use the NT510 on my daughter's mini and able to clear a number of faults that had been stored on the ECU and prove that the car was in good order.This is not a piece of kit you would use every day, but a great investment that has undoubtedly paid for itself in just one use . A really useful addition to my tool/diagnostic kits.Only down side was that the supporting software (for unit updates) provided on CD, was only for PCs (not Macs) and when I tried loading it on an old PC laptop, it threw up a virus waring, so I didn't load it. This seems to be quite a common issue with software originating from China.

Great product. This was easy to use, connected straight onto my BMW obd Port, and pulled up the engine faults, most of which were old ones. Easy to delete them. BMW charge around £90 for a diagnostic test. You can do your own using this and then visit your dealer ‘informed’ rather than as a lamb to the slaughter!

Arrived promptly and well packaged, had an initial problem registering the device as it said it was already registered but Foxwell sorted this out really quickly, very impressed so far.

Excellent device. Worth every penny. Needed to reset and calibrate a BMW e92 steering angle sensor and it does this and much more than a normal tool. I will only need this 1 tool from now on as you can download each unique brand software package for a extra cost. Free updates too.

Worked exactly as hoped for. Probably more than paid for itself on first scan alone. Expect this to become ever more useful as the car gets older.
