Rear Brake Pads / EPB reset GLA 250

My 2015 GLA 250 4 Matic is ready for rear pads. A scanner tool is required to reset the electronic parking brake motors in the calipers, I'm looking for a reasonably priced (up to $250.00 or so) scanner to do it. Both Icarsoft and Foxwell state compatibility in their advertising. However, both replied to my emails saying their units would not work with my GLA, Does anyone have a solution?

You shouldn't need any external scanners or software to do it. There is the service menu that you can access through your instrument cluster to do this prior and after you replace the rear brake pads/discs.

Honestly, easiest place to find it will be on Youtube somewhere. Search around on there first

Peter4271 can you share which rotors and pads I should get for my 15' GLA250? This will be my first time replacing them since I get the car (used)

AutoZone sells Brembo now, I'm not sure if they have the rears, and it shouldn't really mater, because....rears.
