Bavarian Technic

Hey everyone! I have Bavarian Technic (BT) that I've used to read codes in my 2008 BMW 335i. I hooked it up to my 2012 BMW X5 50i but I don't think it recognizes the engine module. Does anyone know whether BT can read codes on the 2012 X5 50i? If not, what do people use?

Be sure to download the latest software from BT. Also some cables are limited to a certain number of VINs. Only the Pro(more $) is unlimited.

On the BT website it seems that BT only covers X5's up to 2009: http://www.bavariantechnic.com/modelfeaturematrix.aspx

Download the beta update, that's what I did and it connects and reads after that.

I think I had 1.9.0.1 , but I'd assume the latest would work as well.

Thanks so much. BT Version 1.9.0.4 worked just fine. I guess their website should be updated throughout to reflect that they have newer versions that work with X5 up to 2013.

I got the yellow engine code yesterday and so I read the codes.

Errors that will cause warning light + Errors NOT currently present:
29E1 DME: Mixture control 2
5F56 DSC: Interface, Car Access System

Errors that will NOT cause warning light + Errors NOT currently present:
9C7B Third tier PTC
A559 Clamp 30g-f switch off
E207 Fault: Can-controller, bus off
D690 Ring breakage diagnostics was performed (Error_Ring_Diagnose)
E095 Message (display gear data_LIN, 0x02)

Errors that will NOT cause warning light + Errors currently present:
A6CF AUC Sensor
E729 Message (KCAN: Status sensor AUC, 2D0)

Any thoughts? Nothing too concerning I don't think.
