is it possible to reset the service light and the brake fluid warning light using the app?

I have serviced the car and changed the brake fluid but need to reset the reminders.

Hi

If it is the engine warning light then you should be able to reset that without an issue. ABS safety lights and Airbag warning lights are currently not resettable at the moment until support is added to the app

Thanks

Ian

Sorry, I was not clear.

On my 2002 3 series, there is a screen on the dash which tells you how much miles you can do before it needs a service. On mine its saying its due now. I need to reset it.

Any idea to when the software will be able to reset ABS and airbags lights?

I'm a BMW mechanic, and while I have Peake tools to read codes, reset CEL, Inspection I/II, ABS and SRS lights, I'd love if I could do all of this via the software.

BMW's come with either a round port inside the engine bay that the Peake reader plugs into, or I have a homemeade AB07 adapter so I can plug the Peake reader into standard OBDII ports.

Since your the creator of this software, let me know if there is anything I can try to provide to you so that you can add these items to your software. As advanced as your software already is, resetting some of the things I mentioned above are nothing more than grounding out certain pins in the OBDII for a certain amount of seconds...10, 15, etc seconds.

You can find out how to reset service lights by going onto www.bimmerforums.com and searching around for yourself...please don't just go on there and ask how to do, search and find it.

If your brake light is on, a round circle with slashes around the sides, that means you need new brake pads and a wear sensor.
