It's more like a Farkle enabling tool

I bought another wheelset with TPMS Sensors that I can now self-enable using a 'money saving device' like yours.... that cost me another £800

I bought about £400 worth of BMW tools, OBD2 and Motoscan app to save money on valve checks at BMW.

It'll probably take 400,000 miles of services before I break even haha

But I enjoy it, so there

39 euros a VIN number seems fair for servicing, emergency fault clearing code, that uses no VIN number up beer is good enough.....

At least you will know all the bolts are torqued correctly, and bike is how you want it, Del has one over us at the moment his FARKLE can Calibrate the LC shocks our Motoscan cannot..........yet.......

First remove battery cover, then look at picture below to locate ODB2 connector



Look at picture below and you will see a little black lug holding the connector in place circled in REd, push it back with your finger and then slide the connector back towards yourself.



image host

Once you have connector in hand, there are 2 lugs that need to be pressed down, and at the other end the cover removed at the same time, as pressing on the lugs, it is a little tight but do not worry, and to go back on, only goes on one way.




And removed




And to put it back on the bike, it slots back into its lug, it can only go one way, use a torch to see clearly.
