BMW Scanner/Code Reader
 
Whats the difference between the Creator C110 and C110+ ?? If there is any difference at all? And are these scanners any good?

Is it better than using inpa?

If your going to buy a code reader for a bmw then $149 isn't to expensive. Otherwise buy a $29 generic one and hope for the best. The problem with a bmw is your not going to be able to read all the codes on a basic scanner plus it wont be able to reset the airbag light if needed.

Do they both near enough do the same thing?

One last thing to consider with the nt510 is you can add more manufacturers to it at $60 a pop. So its not just a bmw or whatever scanner since you can add gm, Toyota, Chrysler, Ferrari, etc to it later if you need to.

Its the same software that's in their $1500 scanner but its limited to one manufacturer when you buy it and can have others added at $60 a pop where the $1500 scanner has a larger screen and has all the manufacturers in it already.

Inpa you run on a notebook computer. Using a notebook computer with inpa and such you can do much more but its complicated to use for most people, time consuming, possibly riskier if you do coding and goof something up.

I consider the notebook a must have too but its not something I want to have to drag out to read codes and do diagnostics with unless I have to.

is the NT510 the most popular one out of the Foxwell ones?

Crowz 02-13-2018 05:37 AM

Yep.

I don't know anything about the scan device you are asking about, but if your interest is to read OBD II Codes, then look into an ELM-327 Module on eBay or Amazon that works with your phone/tablet, then get the OBD Fusion or TorquePro app from the appropriate app store. You will be into this project about $30 and have an app that will give you the ability to build logs of sensor inputs and other things. You can pull codes, reset the computer, and build log files that can be exported into Excel so you can make graphs.

According to foxwell its like getting their gt80 which is $1500 for $149 if its still on sale. The nt510 has the same software as the gt80. So for a particular vehicle its the best one they have.

According to amazon its the best seller of the upper foxwell models.

I don't know what other criteria to check against when I answered "yep" to it being the most popular.

That's a generic scanner so a $14 to $24 generic would be the same as that basically. It has no bmw specific abilities.
