What OBD2 scanner are you using?

[the_worrier]

I need an OBD2 scanner to check & clear faults, trigger a DPF clean, change manufacturer-specific settings, etc.

I had a Carly thing but I don't want to pay £6-9/month x 12 in one go for functionality.

What scanner would you recommend with a good balance between price and function? No 'this one is £2000 but it is the best' type comments, pls. I'm talking home-user price point.

Can't go wrong with Bimmerlink (For Diagnostics) / Bimmercode (for coding) then:

BimmerLink - The direct link to your BMW or MINI.

www.bimmerlink.app

list of compatible adapters is here:

BimmerCode for BMW and Mini - Supported adapters

bimmercode.app

If I buy one of these do I need a paid for subscription?

UniCarScan UCSI-2100 Bluetooth ordered. Bimmerlink is £40. Think Bimmercode is £50 for full functionality.
