Those with ECS Schwaben scanner (foxwell NT510) - Updating (no longer supported)

[Tbonem3]

I've got an ECS "schwaben" scanner (really a Foxwell NT510) like some of you, I think back in like 2017, but now that I have a 2022 X7, I finally have a need to try to update this tool to handle newer models.

Currently (as it came from ECS), the newest car I have files for is the later F series, but I need G series.

I know I can download ISTA and all that, but I already have this nice scanner tool that can do some nice stuff like INPA, so I'd prefer to update it.

Anyway, I tried to download Foxwell's updater tool but it no longer supports the NT510(elite). I even emailed Foxwell and they confirmed. I then tried to get the guy to email the last batch of updates, but he wouldn't.

So I'm here now, asking for a little help. Is there anyone who was able to update their schwaben or foxwell tool before it got too old - this prob would have been around 2020 or so maybe a little later?

If so, could you please take the micro SD card, put it into a PC or whatever, and copy the files (should be 3 folders in the directory) and ZIP them and email to me? Maybe even upload it to this thread if possible (maybe we can only upload photos IDK). But this would only apply to someone who was able to update the scanner tool in at elast like 2019 or later.

Interestingly, I can service my 22 X7 somewhat. I choose the latest model car I could find (like a F series 6 iirc) and I was able to reset service clocks and turn off some lights, but I can't open my transfer case ports, for example, so I can't drain the fluid - it tells me it's not supported, so I'm hoping the newest files might cover the G seres that started in like 2019(?)

Thanks!

I have this one, IDK if that'll hep you. I've never had to update it.

Right, I'm specifically asking owners of that tool, who HAVE updated it sometime between 2019-now, to please take the data off the sdcard and send it to me (or host it somewhere for others).

To be fair, I'm not even sure this tool got updated with G series cars, but I'd like to give this experiment a shot.

Well I bought mine in like 2022, wouldn't I have the files you need?


IDK if I even have a freaking mini USB anymore, let me see if I can find one.

Lol I had to search for a mini usb cable too. You can, alternatively, press the sd card and it will pop out of the tool, then put it into a usb reader or your laptop might even have a microsd slot.

It would be worth a shot, if you're willing to copy all the data in your SD card and send it to me, then I can compare them. But I think it's very believeable that despite buying it in 2022, it may only have what it was shipped with probably back from 2016/17 or whenever it started with ECS.
