I think the Peake tool just allows you to read and reset codes... Not recode options.
So this can read everything the Peake tool can?
yes,and more than that.

I think all you need for Win7 is the proper usb/serial driver. I have an XP laptop to use for this though.
anyone know - can PA Soft 1.4 synch an EWS unit to a different DME? I know BMW says you cant, but I also know that it can be done. I don't have an EWS unit to try it on but I might pick one up.
Gotta figure out what I'm doing wrong with the MSS54.. trying to read the memory, I get a lot of errors and junk data. but everything else seems to work perfectly.

I was ready to shell out $150 on the Peake. Looks like I'll be getting this instead!
Could also get this http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-USB-OBD...=WDVW&rd=1&ih=014&category=43989&cmd=ViewItem
Has INPA, DIS, NCS Expert, SSS/Progman. Pretty much every programming option for this car, including ECU flashing.
or this

Although I got bmw scanner 1.4. I only need to do some coding and not mess with something that I am not familiar with.
PS: thanks ac_2007 for you help in choosing the cable :hi: Although I bought it from ebay for a little cheaper :shhh:
AC... What will the EU2 do for you? I assume that is a European setup?
Agreed ac_2007, PA soft will do what typical owners will ever need. But you can mess up whole lot even with PA soft lol. You are going to get more PMs from me on PA soft usage, though :hi:
Thinking to get an old laptop just for the car now. Have to see how PA soft acts with windows 7 64 bit loaded in virtual box in a mac, then I will go for the other softwares and cables.

Has anyone bought this?
It will disable monitoring for post cat O2 sensors, which I deleted because I'm running headers. Could also remove the SAP and not trigger a CEL

I just bought this a few minutes ago. Thanks ac2007 for the link!:clap:
I already have PaSoft but it's capabilities are somewhat limited.

Let me know how it goes!
Lol, np. I'd like to disable my corners and keep fogs enabled while using flash to pass as well. PA can't do that.
Side note, what temperature are the fog bulbs in your sig?

Will do!
Yeah I've been playing around with PaSoft a bit and it looks like you can cause some serious problems if you don't know what you are doing. I mainly bought that suite for NCS Expert which I think has the ability to reset any module to its default settings without a backup. So basically it is "safer" coding than Pa Soft.
I got the bulbs from DDM tuning because I was ordering a bumper from there as well. I heard their bulbs are sh¡t but these are pretty good. When I ordered them they just said 9006 - Yellow, so I don't know the exact temp, and I just looked on their website and they don't seem to be on there anymore. But I did compare them to the 3000k fog light that was still on the car and it looked exactly the same in terms of color. So if I were to guess I'd say 3000k (it could possibly be 2500k though).
