I love protool. I had my 5 series for a year and it always had airbag and seatbelt ligjts i recalibrated the trac control system airbags and body control modules and the lights went away and never came back. They literally jjat needed a recalibration. U can do so much with this program

Great video, glad you're enjoying the product! Just as a note on the FRM, when doing a swap you wouldn't use the write vin function if it's a used module. At that point you would factory code the module and we write the vin in that process.

Hey quick question: I understand you have to connect to wifi from a router to download the app, but do you have to be on a wifi signal from your router to use it afterwards? Meaning, when the tablet hooks up to the wifi adapter on the OBDii port, do you need to be connected to some sort of internet network? (I ask because in the event Im not near wifi I'm wondering if this is rendered useless?) I also saw a blutooth one on the protool website. Thank you

@lifebycars5849 7 ай бұрын

Generally no need for wifi signal when connected to the car and using the app. The app runs off background files that are stored offline on the device. Occasionally these files will need to be updated, which does require internet signal, but once updated you can go back to using the app offline as usual

I assume you have an M3 with the EDC suspension? To my knowledge you don’t have to code anything if you’re just replacing a shock with another EDC compatible unit. However ProTool can code out (delete) EDC if you’re going with a suspension that doesn’t have the adaptive shocks so you don’t have error lights
