2014 Three best DIY diagnostic tools for BMW repairs

There is a growing trend among BMW owners buying car diagnostic tools to do their own auto repairs, while eBay sellers trying to sell unnecessary stuff to these owners. I used to be one of the BMW owners buying whatever the sellers to me to buy. But it is time to be wise. After using a lot of BMW diagnostic tools, I just know which are good, which are useless. Here I have compiled a list of the top three ones for every level of DIY Launch X431 Creader VIII.

1. BMW ICOM ISIS A+B+C
Launch X431 Creader VIII is an official BMW Group Service tool especially designed for diagnostics of all BMW series. It is made up of three parts: ICOM A, ICOM B and ICOM C. ICOM A is used for diagnosing vehicles with OBD capability; ICOM B is for programming with MOST port; ICOM C is for diagnosing older BMW models with diagnosis socket in engine compartment. It supports programming, troubleshooting, DTCs reading and erasing and coding in all systems.
2. iOBD2 BMW Diagnostic Tool for iPhone
Launch X431 Creader VIII is a portable OBD2 code scanner that works together with your iPhone through WiFi or Bluetooth. This iOBD2 code scanner especially works on BMW car models. It is not as powerful and stable as BMW ICOM, but it is a lot cheaper. It allows the user to read and clear fault codes, read car data, record engine speed and ignition time in all the BMW car models with OBDII or EOBD protocol.
3. FVDI BMW ABRITES Commander
FVDI Commander for BMW and MINI may cost much more than the previous two tools, but it really worth the money. It not only has all the functions that BMW ICOM A+B+C has, but also supports car key programming and mileage programming for systems such as IKE, LCM, EWS, ECU, ABS, VTG and EGS.
