Hi all I have a airbag light on, I want to use a OBD tool via Bluetooth using torque app as it's had some fantastic reviews.
There are soooo many to pick from, has anyone tried one from eBay and how did it work for you?

Torque won't turn off an airbag light, using any adaptor.

OBDII Bluetooth adapter
The "basic" obd adaptors, whilst they will read stored error codes, cannot communicate with the modules in the cat other than the engine and emissions related ones. You need either the dedicated BMW diagnostics software or a more advanced "scanner" or Pro aftermarket diagnostic kit to communicate with the airbag modules.
