How do BMW technicians keep up with expense of all the years, models and constantly changing technology? Answer: With the help of a Peake Research R5/FCX3-U, a two piece tool kit which fits a 20 year span of BMWs!

The R5/FCX3-U is a two piece, NON-OBDII code scanner, which will read and reset BMW factory “dealer” engine codes and reset BMW’s unique dash lights, such as the Oil Service - Inspection and engine lights. Includes a detailed code-book, and fits most models from 1987 to 2007.

What is so great about "NON-OBDII"?
There is a huge difference between OBDII codes and the highly specific “factory” codes. The R5/FCX3-U accesses BMW’s vast array of “factory” diagnostic, analysis and repair codes enjoyed by BMW dealers, where OBDII tools and the misleadingly named “Manufacturer Specific OBDII” tools simply will not. Remember, BMW installed a very narrow range of OBDII codes to obey emissions laws. Beyond government “smog-test” functions, OBDII is likely to report “unknown code” or worse, a misleading code.

If your aim is to reset BMW’s unique brand of dash lights, repair, pinpoint and analyze, there is no substitute for “factory” capable tools like the R5/FCX3-U made by Peake Research Corporation.
