Which Foxwell Scanner for F10

I have a 2013 535i 93k miles

I was unable to get the NT-510 Foxwell scanner to work with my vehicle. Which Foxwell scanner is compatible with this model? NT-530?


Thank you

It is not which scanner version you have, it is which software you have loaded into that scanner.

Thank you
Were you able to get that scanner to work on your 2013 535i?

So the Foxwell NT510 Scanner should work on my similar 2013 535i as long as the software is updated?

The Foxwell scanner NT510 will have limited functionality, as it's hardware is not fully compatible with F series vehicles....you'll need to get the NT530 version.

I had the same issue and reached out to Foxwell support, and they told me no amount of FW update will allow the NT510 to fully work with the F10. It's not always a limitation due to BMW....see note below.

So I purchased the NT530.

Note: I also have a 991.1 (older) variant of the Porsche 911, which I needed a scanner to reset the service indicators, which required also to enter the date of the service light reset, and found out that the NT510 HW could only support dates pre-2020...so in order to show the date of service reset past 2020, I was forced to purchase the NT530.
