I have a K+DCAN cable on order from Bimmergeeks but I have always been curious to know if the NT-510/520 will reset the adaptations on the ZF 6HP26 transmission? I iCarsoft will reset the failsafe mode but not reset the adaptations.

Thanks
Just FYI, I've read that resetting the EGS/TCU for the 6HP26 is not recommended unless you have been working on the trans and have changed parts (mechatronics or mechanics).

Simply resetting the adaptations in the hope of "fixing" an existing problem doesn't really work. The EGS/TCU should quickly return the adaptations to the previous values, as it's designed to do.

I'm not saying you shouldn't do it, as you may well have been doing trans work. Just sayin'
