## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why was the battery registration function unable to be performed?**
A: Please watch the first video on the above page. Old chassis like E46, E30, E39, E38, E53, E36, E85, E86, MINI R52, R53, R50 do not support battery registration functions. Just replace with original battery and clear codes directly.

**Q: Why can not clear the codes for my car?**
A: 1. Fault codes can only be cleared after repairs. This tool diagnoses issues but doesn't fix them. 2. Ensure the OBD port is clean, undamaged, and properly connected. 3. Remove any third-party devices that may interfere with the OBD signal.

**Q: Can the BM500 perform coding or programming for BMW modules?**
A: No. The BM500 focuses on diagnostics and reset functions (EPB, Oil, ETC, Battery). It does not support ECU coding or advanced programming — this helps ensure safe use for everyday owners without risking system modification errors.

**Q: Why are the special functions not supported?**
A: In addition to ensuring you select the correct vehicle model, you also need to follow the normal operating procedure. If you have any questions, please refer to the relevant operation video on the product page or consult us.

**Q: Why not work for my car?**
A: 1.Wrong model selection may disable features. Check vehicle nameplate. Example for BMW X5 G05: BMW Diagnosis > X Series > X5 > G05 2.Please check if your OBD port is working properly. If unsure, you can consult us or visit a repair shop.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does SOOOOOOO Many Things others Didnt
*by S***N on August 25, 2024*

I dont waste my time writing click bait reviews but this product was far, far, far more than I imagined..... It does "normal" OBD stuff but also critically gives specific info for my vehicle type I thought could require some $500-$600 scanner to get (example Mini Footwell Module, an expensive problem if you have it). it also resets batteries, oil change or service intervals snd does a far, far deeper dive into codes than my one generic to all vehicles. It found like another 15 codes that flagged at least once in 10 year old vehicles lifetime but once reset, havent come back in 9 mos. Car drives perfectly, so obviously NBD. Another example? When I replaced by battery rather than pay someone $130 to "reset" things, I found all it resets is date of replacement. Who cares what date unless a warranty claim and thats what paper receipt is for. If battery is bad, its bad. Replace it you dont get home. Simple. Only thing i wish it had was a TPMS reset for tire sensors. But with 10 year old vehicle, its likely a code is a dead battery and only way to fix that is replace the sensor for $25 rather than spending $50 to find out its old. it also gives general OBD scan codes for other vehicles. I saved my buddy $175 by diagnosing his check engine light with more specific"cylinder 6 misfire" preventing mechanic from replacing his MAP sensor which was wrong diagnosis, period. If/when I get different car, I'll buy another one specific to that type as its just sooooo valuable to figure out codes in literally under a minute rather than taking to someone who will charge you $75 to open the hood.
