How do BMW technicians keep up with expense of all the years, models and constantly changing technology? Answer: With the help of a Peake Research R5/FCX3-U, a two piece tool kit which fits a 20 year span of BMWs! The R5/FCX3-U is a two piece, NON-OBDII code scanner, which will read and reset BMW factory dealer engine codes and reset BMWs unique dash lights, such as the Oilservice - Inspection and engine lights. Includes a detailed code-book, and fits most models from 1987 to 2007.
What is so great about "NON-OBDII"? There is a huge difference between OBDII codes and the highly specific factory codes. The R5/FCX3-U accesses BMWs vast array of factory diagnostic, analysis and repair codes enjoyed by BMW dealers, where OBDII tools and the misleadingly named Manufacturer Specific OBDII tools simply will not. Remember, BMW installed a very narrow range of OBDII codes to obey emissions laws. Beyond government smog-test functions, OBDII is likely to report unknown code or worse, a misleading code.
Connect, Select & Go! Taking less than 30 seconds to use, the R5/FCX3-U requires no batteries, no additional cables, no connectors, no laptop, no software to learn, no special interfaces or downloads. It can only be plugged into one spot, one way. It is truly fool proof - compares in ease with checking your oil, pumping your own gas, etc.
