Capable handheld for euros still under warranty

Greetings Scotty and Mods.


I’m a mid-level tech in a luxury dealership, losing out on hours bc of the Maximus 2.0 provided to the used car department.  What do you recommend in handhelds (not a full scan tool) just for resetting maintenance minders and activating brake service mode on 4yr old and newer Porsche, Volvo, Land Rover, Audi, Bentley, Mclaren, Alfa Romeo and Maserati. The last 2 are our own make but it’s a PIA to bother one of the mainline techs for their login to those respective scan tools.  Majority of the used cars are BMW and Mercedes; I give them credit for allowing both of these tasks to be accomplished manually through the IPC.  

Bonus if it can tell me which axle the “brake pads worn” warning is coming from or can reset “brake pads worn” on a Land Rover after service.

My dealer is extraordinarily generous with labor times within the used car department.  Up to 300$ on a capable handheld is worth it.  Plus, I’d get mad credit for being the only tech equipped to fully complete these services in-house.

 

Regards,
J.H.

But I’m not sure if it’ll work well with European brands.

@mod_man might have a better idea on this one.
