Are any transmission changes available? I would like to increase line pressure. I have my transmission builders bump pressure for longer life. Adding an external cooler is even better.

Can't code or change much other than idle speed which is fantastic.

You can test things like the blower. Set to 50% for example just for 20 sec for testing.

You can change the blower though the dash hole by removing the center vents and MID from what I've discussed with people who know people that have done it.

I've gotten into trouble myself with the self leveling calibration. There is no "I was just looking" option to leave the submenu. Fortunately the 510 has a reset button they removed from 520.

It's still funny (looks over shoulder) unless the wife gets reminded of the hospital trip...[emoji15][emoji28][emoji28][emoji1787]

Here in europe these are harder to find. I see some on ebay but those are most likely the same ones you can get from aliexpress... anyone have experience with those?

You have to laugh or you'll have to cry.

Like when I twisted the head off the Etorx holding my ball joint. Judy laugh and move on to plan b (drill and tap).

Exactly [emoji1787]

I have 3x NT520 Pro's that I've bought from big sellers on eBay. All good, 3 different cars = BMW, Porsche, Honda, and I like to leave them in the cars just in case ...

As best as I can tell, all the big eBay sellers are factory distributors for Foxwell manufacturing. So if you buy from an eBay seller that sells a lot of these things, you're basically getting them direct from Foxwell. I think I remember them shipping directly from Foxwell (in China) rather than the eBay storefront (also in China).

And BTW, regarding the earlier question about a different model number, my understanding is that the 510/520/530, Pro / not Pro, and Schwaben branded vs. Foxwell branded are all pretty much the same thing. (I assume same for elite vs. non-elite, but that's a new thing to me). Slightly different buttons, features, reset button, etc. But basically they do the same stuff on your BMW.

Things beyond those models, which Foxwell makes a lot of, will be completely different - mainly in not having the BMW-specific functionality for active testing or deep troubleshooting.

The numbering moronic. Why would they have a higher number with less features!?
