Since the same thing can be acomplished with a paperclip or a cheap-o momentary contact pushbutton and wire, I would say no thanks.

Since our cars don't need a real reset tool I would say pass on that POS .


I've been using a piece of wire for like 10 years !! :D

It won't hurt it. I set up a nice looking push button one, cost me <$5. Works fine.

I used a piece of speaker wire. 100% effective 0 cost.

I'd like to know what you used. I'm not as good with electrical stuff; as mentioned above, I reset mine with speaker wire. Something with an inline fuse would be nice.

Back when I was powered by Motronic I went to the Shack of Radios and got an inline fuse holder (it even included a fuse) and used that. Its a fuse holder with 3 inches of wire on each side. Perfect. Melted some solder into each end.

If you really wanted to be baller you could setup a delay timer and use banana clips.

Now i have a reset tool but mainly because its a code reader.

Heck, i did it in my mom's 2000 528i, it's easy and reliable!
