Yep. You start the "ABS Air Bleed" function in the Scan Tool - it prompts you to connect a power bleeder (like Motive), you click "next", then prompts you to open one bleeder screw, you click "next", then it goes through about a minute of automatically opening and closing the various ABS valves and tells you when it's done. Then you close the bleeder and repeat for the other three... easy.
That is cool, and no, the scanaguage can't do the ABS bleed as far as I know (unless there's some very cool X-gauge programing that would do that but it's unlikely).
Can this also do some of the factory setting changes like the dealer can do?
1) No, the scangauge does NOT do ABS bleed, nor about 90% of the other stuff the AutoEnginuity does. The scangauge is a very basic code reader and value display ("gauge") for standard OBD values - but it can't access a large number of BMW-specific values nor actuate the test modes for many of the car's systems (unless, as was said, someone has some X-gauge voodoo that I haven't seen yet - and I've looked).
2) AutoEnginuity doesn't do ECU coding - that's about the only thing I've found that the dealer tools can do that this one doesn't... so you're still beholden to the dealer for that stuff. But I haven't needed a coding change in two and a half years...
Thanks for posting this! I have a SG-II and I'm still thinking about buying this. Wiht the new trend towards small netbooks, along with something like this - and you've got a nice compact yet full featured diag tool...
exactly. My kids both have Acer Aspire One netbooks. I have a very small notebook for work that I'm about to swap for a small Thinkpad tablet that I'll run the Scan Tool on. I have it with me almost all the time, anyway.
