Are there code readers that run as android apps yet? That would be epic cool, just buy an adapter cable and run your phone to pull codes.
I'm using iCarly from Ivini apps (previously BMWhat) on my Samsung s5 and it is very good in my opinion. It's not super advanced but you can reset/ program a bunch of stuff on the E53. The only thing I don't know is if it can test the wheel speed sensors. It does check the steering angle sensor (I have a faulty one according to it) so theoretically it should be able to check other sensors....I'll update on this later today.

My 4x4 light has been on for quite some time now and initially I thought it was the steering angle sensor (after all it was coming up faulty on the app). However, reading on this forum I see many others with the exact same symptom and error code as I have and they fixed it by changing the yaw sensor...I'm baffled.

Anyway, I'm going to start with the wheel sensors first...being the quickest and cheapest fix....then the yaw sensor and last the steering angle sensor since I'm having issues with getting it out. I've asked for help on this forum on how to get it out but still waiting for a shiny diy:er to come to my rescue
