How to reset the DPF of a BMW while driving using the B-tool expert app (with the help of a passenger)

Model: BMW BMW Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

The regeneration of the DPF through the B-TOOL EXPERT app is only done while driving, so we will need to be assisted by a passenger. We will also need a USB cable that connects our device to the OBD socket in the vehicle. It is necessary to use a K+D CAN OBD cable specifically designed for BMW; you can also use a Bluetooth connection, but the cable is certainly more stable. The system starts working when the vehicle's temperature has reached 70°. We connect the cables, open the B.TOOL EXPERT app and establish the connection through the settings; we read the engine codes and delete them. We click on the "DPF" function, read the values and click on "DPF regeneration"; we confirm and now we will see on the device that the regeneration is taking place, indicating a green arrow.
