Well, I’ve got an engine light, probably due to gas overfill. Is there a consensus on the best OBD reader for the IG?

I ordered this one today, I'll test it, if I like it I can get it for $65.00 on Aliexpress.
I have a engine light and will delete the code. I hooked up IOBox Tuner..along with the IOBox Pedal for Grenadier. It is amazing. A sensor on the engine got loose, I did lock it down, however it comes loose. I used a small zip tie to lock it in place. When I have it serviced the dealer can change it. I think its a good Idea to be able to clear codes when needed. I used it this morning and cleared 6 codes very fast. It was not even set to BMW, I left the setting on Generic. I ordered one for $65.00 this morning. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256...st_main.5.74dd585aF1lGk5&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa

The MX Just has expanded features for other vehicles. Given I work on a lot of cars it’s nice to have the option. It also helps future proof you. Who knows what the Grenadier requires. So $50 now or more later. But than again nothing in life is guaranteed so who knows.
Many Thanks.

I've decided to take the plunge on an MX+ and ordered one from Amazon this morning. Will report how it goes once I've had a chance to play with it.

Cheers
Steve

I have the MX+ combined with OBD Fusion on my phone and can confirm that it works seamless with the Grenadier. OBD Fusion works via Carplay and will show you PID info that is customizable. You can also see and clear codes as needed. What you cannot do via Cayplay is view the gauges that you can setup on a phone or iPad.

One question:
Did somebody check already, if it is possible to reset the service indication (appears after one year in the middle display) with the ANCEL BM700 or MX+?
I did my service intervall by myself (oil change etc) after one year but I am not motivated to drive to the next INEOS dealer to reset it there (more then 90km),

No you can’t. Unfortunately it’s a trip to the dealer.
