Anyone had any success signing up to Foxwell in order to download data from the reader.
These companies want everything like your inside leg measurement and then find you still can't log in to their site.
Why can't we just enter a product code off the reader and download whatever is needed to read the data.
Better still provide a replay mode on the reader or disc with program on it.
I can't find one.

Only solution i see is mount reader and phone in a shoe box and record the screen, ridiculous.
Trying to look at it on the move single handed a bit dodgy.

Santa gave me a Foxwell NT809 for X-mas.
Registration was pretty straightforward and I also did not need to provide any unusual info.
Could download all updates right away.
The procedure could be different for other models though ?

Finally got into site, can't see anything that would read data on obd reader.
Seen a few other Foxwell tools, non work.

That seems to be a reoccurring problem with Foxwell, I almost ordered or the NT510 hopping it would do more than my Creator C501 but after a bit of researching realized that it is no better.
The Creator C501 is a good unit and I have had no problems with it, a good diagnostic tool.

their customer service is from China and hit and miss. I bought a NT530. its okish and might get me out of trouble one day, but I was not impressed with the customer service (which they also sold me a Suzuki module that didn't really do very much, then didn't reply when I complained). the BMW module seems to work though. I do remember having some confusion when I first loaded it. I had assumed it would come pre-loaded with the modules already but it doesnt. If I recall, you need to choose the right car type after registering. then they validate it, and you can download it onto the reader. I'm pretty sure there's a youtube video about this if you search for it
