Dear Richard XX ordered and received a Foxwell NT204 code reader on 10/5/17,he successfully updated the unit using NT Wonder v5. However he was having difficulty registering the unit with FoxwellTech. Have the serial no but no password to register the product. He was reluctant to connect to my car until this matter can be resolved.
If you don't have the computer skills (nor do you want them) to be able to install and use NCSexpert, INPA, tool32. You are recommeded to have one Foxwell NT510 for BMW scanner which is handheld without connecting to the computer, NT510 sales for $179 free shipping worldwide, which is more expensive than INPA although, NT510 is more powerful in function it not only works as a diagnostic tool but also a coding programming tool, and it comes with one manufacture software as default, and allowed to pay only $70/per vehicle manufacutures including AU FORD, BMW, Chrysler, Fiat, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Holden, Land Rover, OPEL, Toyota and VAG.
Wow, first time to experience such brilliant diagnosis!! Drove my car (Land Rover L538 Evoque) to my bro’s repairing shop and happened to his using newly-received scanner Foxwell GT80 (great for its Windows system and high resolution). Curious about this and tried on my car to have a try .

I found this Foxwell NT510 scanner chart that shows the specific function per BMW model which is helpful. foxwellshop has NT510 scanner for $179, but I found it on ECS for $199. Seems pretty reasonable for all the readout capability and the coding it claims. Plus you can buy additional software (only $70USD) for one of other manufacturers (Including AU FORD, BMW, Chrysler, Fiat, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Holden, Land Rover, OPEL, Toyota and VAG) as well. One another thing to consider about this tool is that the software updates for it are free for the first 18 months only, and after that only the cost of updates is only 60USD.
I just received one Foxwell NT510 scan and coding tool today, I am working my way through this scan tool and so far I have been relatively impressed.
Here, you will be guided to reset oil light using; that is, this scanner will allow you to reset the service lamps. The Service Indicator System is designed to alert the driver when the vehicle is due for a service.
This post collects foxwellshop customers’ feedback on multi-brand full-system scanner test reports Yes or NO on the specific models and function. And for some NT644 fail to do, NT510 and GT80 can do, go on reading for details.
This post collect all of / questions and engineer answers from foxwellshop customers, hope it enlighten others who are interested in this tool. BTW, Foxwell GT80 and GT80 Plus share the same function and vehicle coverage, the only difference is GT80 is built in with battery and with a different case at a half price.
I received at Jun 28 to work on a 2002 GM C1500. It did not come with the GM software installed, since I specified GM for my included 1 free vehicle make. I was asked to register on Foxwelltech.com website and download the program, my Serial number is NV516040XXXXX.
After successfully registered, I find nothing more. When I select the GM software and attempt to install, the website prompts me to click "here" to install a client, which fails to work. I've included a screen sh ot and the result of clicking on the "here" prompt.
