BMW ELV counter reset using Launch X-431 code A0AA

How to remove code A0AA in CAS module of a BMW using the Launch scan tool. In my case this vehicle did not want to start when it got towed in and had a yellow lock symbol on the dash. The car wouldn't crank and the cluster wouldn't fully turn on. Customer had tried to start it too many times on a weak battery I think and that's probably what caused the CAS to activate the steering column lock and not let the vehicle crank.

Awesome. Worked like a charm on my e90, thanks for this guide! That "thump" was insane!

Will any X431 launch scanner work?? Or what model ? How much?

I have same issue car won’t start on my radio etc But only problem is car died nd it 🔒 locked again. Should I reset or just buy a new elv Nd put it on ????

Hard to say, without seeing the car and being able to read the data from it I wouldn't really be able to give you good advice. I would say try to reset if possible

Is this compatible with mini cooper 2007 r56?

[@dmitriyfedorchuk8729]

Not sure, have not tried this on a mini so I would only be speculating
