A friend just told me thag auto zone lets you use their code scanners for free. I am going to see if theh have one that works for my car and take my 16 to 20 pin converter.

Do not mean to hijack the thread.
This c110 was purchased to reset the air bag on my 2003 Z4 3.0i that I was REALLY obsessing on due the air bag light. Spent day researching root cause and what could be the problem with 100 different stories from taking the seat out to $1700 in repairs to recalls.
This tool reset the air bag in less that 3 minutes including the time for me to learn how to navigate. I initially went to the airbag to reset and nothing (deep sigh) then I though to try the A pillar left and right and boom! The error showed up on the right for the occupancy sensor fault 9915 and allowed me to reset and and SHAZZAM, the light went out. I restarted the car a few time to confirm that it stayed out and it did.
Root Cause: I'm not really sure but the only thing we changed this year was using a battery tender to help with winter storage, but there are many others that state it's other things that I cannot speak for. I'm going to leave the tender off to see if it reappears...
I'll post the fault and the cleared dash...
Tool came in a case with an extra 16-pin to 20-Pin connector and seems to be a really nice quality - menu was easily read. Illuminated keys would be nice for future models...but who really cares, the fault is reset...

Good luck all...

I noticed on the readernIngot that if It does not have a code it sayd communication error. If there is a code it reads it. Weird...wont read my DSC light issue though.
