I wish you had never shown me that .... :banghead:

rick... in all fairness, I really wish you did not have an E39 for sale....

OK, so I downloaded the software. Now I need the interface and cables. I will chat to you guys on Tuesday.

Am I correct in thinking that INPA won't reset service lights, but will clear things like airbag lights?

freerider told me the other day how but I forgot so googled it and here is a helpful bit:

found at here
If your OBC needs to be reset after completing your oil change, there are two ways. NOTE: If you miss a step, just turn the key back off and try again:
A. Model Year 1999 to Mid-2000: You should have the older round 20-pin DLC connector under your hood behind the battery terminal, you need to use a small length of wire to connect (short) pins 7 and 19 for 3-5 seconds with the ignition key in position 1 (Accessory).

B. After Mid-2000: You should not have the 20-pin DLC connector. You only need to hold the left odometer reset button while turning the key to position 1 (Accessory). Keep holding the button for 5 or so seconds until any of the following shows in the display: OIL SERVICE or INSPECTION with RESET or RE. Release the button and press it again for another 5 or so seconds until RESET or RE flash. While the display flashes, press the button one more time briefly. If done correctly, END SIA should show up for a few seconds. All done.!
hope this helps pretty good site.

INPA can reset service lights on your car, Roundal

I downloaded the software, Need to get a cable sometime.. & then find a way to get my car upstairs into my bedroom so I can hook it up to my PC

 

[Roundal]

Andrew, why don't you just hang it out the window - I think the cable should just about hold it!

LOL ... true. I'm dithering with that sale, I have two payments left and she's all mine!

If I still have it next year it's SO getting a charger. R50K will get me that VF engineering complete kit landed on my doorstep.

MORE power than an E39 M5 for 50K.... very tempting, especially as it includes that sweet charger whine.
