So in another thread the discussion turned to what different scanners could do. Ronman came across information on a new scanner and provided this information:

"This Foxwell scanner claims it can change the 75mph warning and even claims to train TPMS if I read it correctly.

I was intrigued in that the list of capabilities matched the dealership scanners I own, but it's available at a very low cost. It's available on Amazon for $249, and this Foxwell website for $160 through a "September" sale.

Foxwell NT530 Multi-System Scanner Works with Latest 2018/2019 Vehicles NT520 Firmware Updated

I purchased the scanner through the Foxwell website using Paypal, and received it in four days. When I ordered it I selected the Chrysler program option. I was surprised and disappointed it did not come loaded with the Chrysler program. I had to download a Foxwell program to my Windows computer and install it. Using the program I selected the Chrysler program and downloaded the related files. I connected the scanner to my computer through the USB port and selected update on the computer program to transfer the files.

Initial testing of the scanner was very disappointing. It could not automatically identify the Crossfire. I had to manually select the year and model car. Even then it could not communicate with the 06 Crossfire I first tested it on. I then tried manually selecting 2008 Crossfire NAFTA and found it would communicate with both the 06 Crossfire and the 08.

The following covers my testing results so far:

TPMS
2006 - The function did not work. It did not recognize the magnet was being applied to the tire sensor.


2007 - I could not test my 07 Is a Special Edition and it does not have a TPMS

Powertrain/ECM
2006 - The scanner could not talk to this module.


2007 - The scanner could talk with the car and there were over 100 related sensors that can be read.


Convertible Top ECM
2006 - Is a coupe could not test
2007 - Found it could read all of the top sensors and switches.

Air Bag Warning Light Reset
2006 - I tried both disconnecting both the passenger seat occupant sensor for the airbag, and removing airbag fuse F2. Both gave warning lights but automatically reset when I turned on the car. I may have to actually unplug an air bag to test this.

HVAC
2006 - No communication
2007 - No communication

IC Instrument Cluster
2006 -
2007 - Gives you the option to select 58 items to check. I did not try all of them. It appears to provide a lot of data.



Thank you for the positive feed on this information.

 

The airbag module should have a DTC stored so you can try to see if the Foxwell will can clear the stored DTC?

 

Some will work if you say it is a Mercedes SLK320.

 

Yes, I agree that is an option with some scanners. I bought this Foxwell scanner with only the Chrysler products. Another auto brand coverage program can be purchased and downloaded to the scanner for $60.

 

Thanks for the very informative review.....

 

Thanks, Toolman, for taking the time to review and post!

 

I bought the NT630 Elite to reset my airbag and it gives me a configuration message. Not sure this one works with a Crossfire.
