I've been developing different tune-up tools for BMW cars.  The Xtreme
TuneUp Tools' work with most models as long as they have either the 15 PIN
or 20 PIN Diagnostic Connector.

Here's the 5-in-1 features:

1. Remote start switch (e.g. for use when adjusting valves or checking
compression)
2. Meter battery voltage (has built-in 15v voltage meter)
3. Meter alternator voltage
4. Reset Oil Service Lights
5. Reset Inspection Lights

Electrical engineers have confirmed the necessity for electronic protection
in the devices (fuse, resistors, indicator lights, etc.), and I have
incorporated their ideas into the design:
a) Inline fuse on input from battery+
b) inline resistor in Oil Service/ Inspection Light Reset
c) inline resistor for volt meter
d) only one power+ output (to start switch), and it is protected by a 7.5amp
fuse in case of accidental short, etc.
e) Indicator light for 'Key ON' (15-PIN plugs)
f) Indicator light for 12v+ power



Here's the 3-in-1 features:

1. Remote start switch (e.g. for use when adjusting valves or checking
compression)
2. Reset Oil Service Lights
3. Reset Inspection Lights

Also with safety features built-in:
a) Inline fuse on input from battery+
b) inline resistor in Oil Service/ Inspection Light Reset
c) Indicator light for 'Key ON' (15-PIN plugs)
d) Indicator light for 12v+ power

I am offering my 'Xtreme TuneUp Tools' online starting under $45. USD for
the 3-in-1 Xtreme TuneUp Tool.

At this time, I am charging for the parts, my gas and just a few bucks for
my time.  If they become in high demand I will sell as a business (in the
near future hopefully).

In case anyone is interested, about a year ago I made my own Oil Service and
Inspection Light reset tool out of a piece of wire.  Little did I know that
it was VERY dangerous to just use a wire and that I could have fried my
computer!  And recently I had to adjust the valves on my car, and had no
intention of turning the flywheel by hand!  So as they say, necessity was
once again the mother of invention.

So I did some research and found that I could make a remote start tool.
After making a basic one, information from an EE (electrical engineer)
confirmed that protection against misuse should be incorporated into the
design.

The resulting products are high-quality, safe devices with very reasonable
cost to own (starting under $45 USD).  This just covers my costs for parts
and expenses, but who knows I may eventually build them commercially :)
