Very happy with Foxwell NT510 Elite VW Audi obd2 scanner. As a preface, I am a retired ASE certified Master Tech. But, my old scan tools have not been updated for about ten years. I have some newer German vehicles that I still need to maintain. I am fortunate enough to have two vehicles that the VAG programmed 510 works on. One a 2015 Audi RS5, the other a 2016 Volkswagon Touareg. I wanted a scan device that would work without having to download software into my laptop and then have to put my laptop into my car. Something more portable that I could keep in my toolbox. Before my purchase I asked a question if this device would help me diagnose an issue that I have with my Audi where there is a service light on for the adaptive headlights. I received a brief response from the manufacturer that it would with no further instructions or advice, but a message that I could contact them with any other questions. Not a deal maker for me, but it gave me a little confidence. Then I received anther response from someone who said if VAGCOM can do it then the 510 should be able to. Fine then, I decided to give it a try. Received the Foxwell NT510 Elite tool this afternoon and registered it online right away. The tool has its own password built in so if you buy it and try to register it make sure you use that with its serial number instead of your personal password that you used when you set up your account. Brought it home and plugged it into my 2015 Audi RS5. Was disappointed to find out that even though the device read my vin my car was not included in its data bank. Ok, I fiddled around a bit and ended up using an A5 with a 4.2 although I don’t think such an animal exists, in my world anyway. The included instruction book was pretty much worthless and I proceeded with utmost caution making sure that I did not erase any settings. I stumbled around for a while and finally pulled up the only code that my car had stored which stated that the front ride height sensor was open. Now that made sense. I inspected the sensor and wiring, found nothing that I could see wrong so I ordered a new one.

Used Foxwell NT510 scanner on 2014 Benz E250 to read out fault codes P24AF, P2463, P042D, how do I do next, go on reading...

I just ordered a multi-system Foxwell NT530 so I can use it on several of my other vehicles as well. That will probably leave my iCarsoft LRII unnecessary.

Question: will Foxwell NT680 Lite scan tool work with BMW323i 2007 model? for general diagnostic; scanning for error codes and resetting where possible.

Question: I have a 1999-2004 Land Rover Discovery. I am trying to use the ABS
