Sorry I was not able to reply earlier, but there are a number of other stand alone tools that can reset the transfer case and transmission adaptions. These include either Pro-sumer or Profession Scan tools.

Many of the tools from the mobile trucks have these capabilities assuming the have the European vehicle support options. So for example my SnapOn Solus Ultra and my MODIS support these features. My Autel MaxiDAS also supports these features.

I have Carly for BMW, however, I have not yet tried to use this feature.

Another up and coming stand alone tool that has a lot of promise is the Schwaben Professional BMW/Mini Scan Tool. This is an OEM tool to ECS Tuning from Foxwell. One interesting feature is you can add VAG and other lines to the tool for typically $60. Annual updates after the first 18 months are currently $60.

First and foremost this tool is a generic OBDII scan tool with Live/Realtime data, Freeze Frame and will read standard OBDII Pxxx codes so you can use it on any 1996 or newer car in your fleet that supports OBDII.

This tool also supports manufacturer specific features like, ABS, Airbag, EPB (Electric Parking Brake) and will scan most all of the modules on the vehicle. It does have bi-directional control of some features on the vehicle.

It also resets Service info like Brake Pad wear, Brake fluid flush and Oil change.

I am in the process of following up on Battery Registration/Programming with the vendor. I checked on my 2008 E70, the Battery Registration/Programming menus are on the tool, however, on my vehicle it responded that my vehicle was not supported. Not sure if this is a mistake in the software or if this feature has not been released yet.

So for $200 and no software to install, just online updates as needed it looks like a cost effective option.

So this is worth a check and there are claims there is more to come with newer online updates.
