i have it and it is the best money i ever spent on my car mate

Gives you the errors in English as opposed to digits and you can even get live info. You can reset errors, lights and even activate the windows, locks and lights from your laptop (should you feel the need)

Best $100 you will spend!!!

 

That is exactly what I was hoping to hear. Thanks!

 

I may be as bit retarded, and am new to this whole thing. but how and where do you attach a lap top to your car?

 

The circular black, plastic port under your bonnet (hood). It has a screw-top

 

Cool. I'll have a look when I go home later

 

I was searching (fruitlessly so far) for one of these on eBay the other day.
Do they work on OBD I cars too? For mine is a '95 and doesn't have the full OBD II.

 

yes they do work on all cars after 1988 mate

 

Looked at them on ebay.....Do they read other cars too or just BMWs?

 

the software only reads BMWs

 

Ok, I found one. And at a good price.

Only thing is, it says it's FOR carsoft 6.5, rather than INCLUDES carsoft. I can see a CD, but that is proibably just device drivers.
For all I know, Carsoft could be a REALLY expensive piece of software. I found www.carsoftsales.com but it doesn't give much clue to pricing.

Anyone know?

 

Carsoft IS very expensive but you get a copied version with the cables generally

Hi there, i have just bought a memoscan U381 so i can read my code errors etc but when i connect it up to car it keeps saying link error. can anyone help??

my wires in the back of my car we're all split and touching etc and causing the central locking to keep going and lights on back of dash to stop working BUT all my dials (petrol, speedometer &eco gauge) wer all working and since i have repaired the wires the central locking works and lights behind dash but now dials have stoped, im not getting any petrol reading speedometer dosent work and my odometer has stoped as well so thats why i bought this in the hope that it would help me.

 

I love carsoft and was well worth the money....BUT it doesn't work with my 1995 M3 :rofl:
