Diagnose and manage your BMW's Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and other crucial systems with bimmer-tool. This app provides comprehensive diagnostic capabilities, allowing you to read and clear fault codes, initiate DPF regeneration, and access a wealth of live engine data. While functionality is somewhat limited for pre-2008 models (a K+DCan USB cable connection is strongly recommended for these vehicles; wireless ELM adapter compatibility may be restricted), bimmer-tool offers a powerful solution for modern BMW owners.

Important: A reliable OBD adapter is essential. We recommend the following:

• Vgate vLinker MC/FS/BM/FD: https://www.vgatemall.com/products/
• UniCarScan UCSI-2000/USCI-2100 (D-Can mode: MODE2): https://www.wgsoft.de/shop/obd-2-komplettsysteme/unicarscan/114/unicarscan-ucsi-2000-diagnoseadapter https://www.bmdiag.co.uk/unicarscan-ucsi-2000-bluetooth-obd2-adapter
• Carista: https://caristaapp.com/adapter
• Veepeak OBDCheck BLE: https://www.veepeak.com/product/obdcheck-ble

Key Features:

• DPF regeneration status and detailed information
• DPF regeneration initiation
• DPF adaptation value reset (post-filter replacement)
• Exhaust fumes pressure readings
• Injector adjustment readings
• Live data logging (air mass, intake manifold pressure, fuel pressure) with CSV export
• Battery replacement registration
• Short-circuit error lamp reset
• Oil/brake service interval reset**

Supported OBD Adapters:

• K+D-Can USB (Recommended)
• ENET cable/Wifi Adapter (Recommended for F & G series)
• ELM327 Bluetooth (Genuine ELM327 or PIC18-based adapters only. May not work with older engines.)

**Quick Start Guide:**

1. Connect adapter to OBD II port.
2. Turn ignition on.
3. Connect adapter to your phone (USB, Bluetooth, or WiFi).
4. Launch the app, select your car model and year.
5. Choose connection type, adapter type, and communication protocol.
6. Tap "Connect".

**Limitations:** Pre-2008 models (e46/e39/e83/e53) require K+DCan cable; only the engine ECU is supported. Wireless ELM adapter connection may be impossible.

**Troubleshooting:**

• "No response" error (pre-2007, BT/WiFi): Try selecting ATWM in advanced connection settings.
• No connection: Force stop diagnostic apps, restart your phone, and try again.
