I totally get it, way too many solutions to wade through and nothing does everything...

With regard to the scanner, you can save a whole lot of energy in reviewing them and just grab yourself a Foxwell NT520 and get on to loving life again [emoji16]. - it is an awesome scanner and over all awesome (almost required) tool to have as an X5 owner.

It really does a little bit of everything- except coding your car, I’ve used mine for a million things and to the best of my knowledge (or Ive totally missed it) It won’t turn your fog lights on with your high beams per say but it will allow you to do some prey amazing diagnostic and break-fix work!

With regard to “coding” if you’re looking for simple and effective, easy to use, look at Carly for BMW.

Haven’t personally used it, but I did some significant research before deciding to go with BMW Scanner 1.04... tiny bit more complex.
