People wonder why there are so many of these in junkyards.



Anyways, if it means getting my AC working before I tow the trailer to the lake with my family on board in July, then the funds will be released...

I refuse to use 30 year old software on a 20 year ols computer.

I only use my foxwell for accessing and clearing codes and for example re-sync Key to EWS today when wife's X5 cranked without starting after the battery was stone cold dead from sitting for 8 weeks so a fuel pump. I also bumped up her idle speed 40 RPM because the idle wasn't very smooth in drive at a red light.

I can't code things like make my turn signal not blink fast because I have LED rear turn signals but I refuse to deal with the headaches of the horrible "solutions" of the craptop diagnostics.

Get yourself a foxwell and problems practically jump right out at you.
