Service Interval Modification
This is my favorite function on Gen 2 MINIs! The software can change the service count and remailing mileage for oil, front and rear brake pads, brake fluid and general service! Just tell the software the remaining percentage and presto, it's changed! Great if you do your own oil and brake jobs.
Air Bag System Checks
No more dealer visits to reset the pesky air bag light! Great for those track rats that have aftermarket seats. Also, the fault codes will let you know what circuit is creating the fault condition for troubleshooting at home.
Tons of other subsystems!
The software can scan all of the subsystems of the car and report and clear all fault codes present. Great for the shade-tree mechanic that doesn't visit the dealer too often.
Free Software Updates!
Software can be updated for free with a simple web download. Cable firmware can be updated as well!
