If i buy KDCAN cable can people remote diagnose/calibrate?

I have an E92 M3.

Would like to know which cable I should buy that is verified by forum members and if it is possible with the cable for someone to remote calibrate/diagnose my car.

I have an abs issue and it also said wheel sensor for rear/front passenger sides. I installed 2 brand new sensors, but still getting lights. I assume they need to be calibrated.

Conversely, I am pretty terrible at finding the *right* information, but is it possible for me to just order a cable and is there a proper post here for doing this all myself?

LOL, no, not trolling at all, accidentally posted in response to another thread.

wheel speed sensors do not require calibration.

clear the codes, if they return, you need a dsc/abs module. They frequently fail on the e9x platform.

Gotchya, thanks. My BlueDriver OBDII read out the wheel speed code and said something along the lines of awaiting test parameters or something. So I thought, being a new code, it may new a recalibration via software (like battery or other stuff).

I did just download ISTA+ to my tablet this weekend, so hopefully I can connecti it VIA the KDCAN cable i got in the mail (fingers crossed for no issues with cable) and see if I can fix the ABS module or see any diagnostic errors. Worst case, I guess I buy a used ABS module and install and then reprogram using ISTA+ I think.
