BMW ENET cable to do BMW F-series coding

Received my BMW ENET cable and did some DIY job for F30 already.
This BMW ENET (Ethernet to OBD) Interface Cable is designed to work on BMW F-series alone. Let’s go straight to the point.

You need:
A BMW ENET cable
E-Sys program, datafiles, token and PIN
A PC/laptop running Windows XP system (mine second-hand Panasonic Win xp 64 bit OS)
Just spending a little money and you will get a powerful ENET cable for €11.00 without postage. I recommend get one from UOBDII.COM which offers good technical support. Usually, after he receives payment, they can have the cable shipped as soon as possible and arrive with you between 3 to 4 days.
I have found some clue on how to solder the cable list as below. Better understanding with the pictures guidance.

The package comes with E-Sys program, datafiles and such which enable me to use directly without downloading. I was offered E-Sys v3.18.4 in combination with the v46.3 datafiles. I have to mention that the datafiles contains more than 10GB memory, so you have to take hours and hours to download it all. And you have no choice but to wait patiently.

Then please refer the pdf guide here E-Sys – MacOSX installation and configuration.pdf to start install the E-Sys. As soon as you start the vehicle, the E-Sys program will automatically saves the CAF files into “C:ESysDataCAF”. Then copy all these files on to the certain folder.
After that, please do as the following steps:
1) Connect the laptop to vehicle and click the connect symbol
2) Select “F20”(not F020 direct) and click connect. Close the popping out message when you see your car VIN, if not, repeat the progress again.
3) Accept following windows message and close the program
4) Switch to coding mode, go to expert mode and click on coding icon on the left vertical pane.
5) Come to the coding program. Click Read button under the VO pane and then FA appears
6) Now Click on Read VCM or Read button under VCM pane. You will find it it will be on your right hand-Center
7) All the ECU’s will display on the main program. Then expand the ECU’s and all most all ECU’s will have a file starting with CAF (With green indicator) right click on the CAF file and select Read coding data, ignore whose who did not contain CAF. But remember do not click all CAF files. Four or five is the maximum.
8) After complete above procedures, go to c:/esydata/CAF. All the .ncd files have been generated on the CAF folder.
9) Copy .ncd files and on your pc or laptop. Run the software program and then start to do F30 coding according to the window instructions.
I have successfully realized these things by using the ENET cable:
–Remove PDC + cam disclaimer
– Mirrors open automatically when closed with comfort access
–Change DVD region code
– Remove disclaimer
– Video in Motion
– Turned the Seatbelt Gong off
– Side View Cameras on at all speeds
– Change DVD region code
– Tire pressure + temperature in TPMS
– Mirrors close by pressing doorknob (comfort access only)
– Disable A.S.S. by default (can still be enabled but starts with setting ‘off’)
– Remember last setting of A.S.S. (works only when not disabled by default)
– Change ringtones
…
I am still working on it and will figure out more functions later. I have to clearly that these are all the tested result on F30. I am not sure how other F-series works.

How to use BMW ENET cable to do BMW F-series coding

Customer Experience with JLR Mangoose OBD2 Cable for Jaguar and Land Rover

An increasing number of people buy and use JLR Mangoose for Jaguar and Land Rover
from uobdii.com, why it is so hot? The answer is that many users speak very highly
of JLR Mangoose.In the following parts,I list a real uobd2 customer's experience.
Customer shares his experience in jaguarforums.com:
“I don’t have any experience with that kit, but several of us are successfully using the one at the link below:
Promotion JLR Mangoose for Jaguar and Land Rover V138 Support till 2014 Year
The one I bought came with SDD V134. I had previously understood that V131.03
was the latest version that could be used without an active subscription to TOPix,
 so I purchased that version of the software separately. But after additional
research, I installed the V134 software and it’s working just fine with WiFi
turned off (otherwise it wants to try to log on and update itself). The seller
stated that V134 only worked with 2005 vehicles and later, but its working fine
with our 2004 XJR. I don’t know about the V138 that the uobd2 is now offering.
You should ask them to be sure it will work with your ’07.

Note that for V131.03 and V134, and I believe for V138 also, you must run the
program in Windows XP 32-bit. I first installed it on an old XP laptop, then
after more research I successfully created a Windows XP virtual machine on a
Windows 7 laptop, and that’s what I’m using now. I haven’t worked on the
ABS or airbag systems, but I believe SDD has that capability. I have used SDD
to recalibrate our air suspension ride height, pull P, B, C and U codes, turn
off the automatic setting of the Electronic Park Brake, turn off some of the
annoying alarms, etc. It’s the dealer-level tool, so if the dealer can do it
you probably can too.”

JLR is really only $49.99 free shipping????
“So am I understanding correctly that for 49.99 you got the Mongoose cable AND the
IDS/SDD software? I was under the impression that it cost loads of money but
maybe I’m confused.”—— Confusion from another customer’s.

This is a clone version and yes, that is the correct price. Obviously, you will
receive no warranty support from Jaguar on either the cable or software, but
several members are using that setup successfully. —–uobd2 claim: actually, 
uobd2 items sold to customers have fine warranty support, read complete

Review on selecting Techstream Customize Functions: Gen III

I purchased Techstream and a min vci cable from a Chinese seller for $19 to do some customize settings on a 2010 Prius.
I used:
Laptop with Windows XP 32 bit
Xhorse mini vci cable with Teachstream 8.10.021 from uobdii.com
Note:
1- new software- toyota-techstream-10.30.029.zip or toyota-techstream-10.10.018.zip – should be ok
2- many Techstream cables in China, but some bad with white PCB
TIS cable of Quality A comes with green PCB

Model:
2010 Prius
First attention please!!
The USB to OBD2 VCI cable driver will only run on a 32 bit computer. Even with an old 32 bit Win XP computer, I had to load/reload the cable driver 3 times. Once done, it is great.
Your owner’s manual covers the customizable features built into the car.
To get to the customizable features, connect the laptop to the car OBD2 port just under the steering column. Start MINI VCI Techstream and depress the brake pedal and press the cars power button. Techstream should connect and ask you the options on the car (radar cruise control and sunroof). It will also pop up with the VIN number and ask if you want to save it.

After that it’s easy. Just select the third tab from the left, Customize

Next select one of the Customize Functions and a small box will pop up with parameters

If you click on the parameter, an explanation will show in the Item Description box below. After you are done selecting parameters, click on the arrow in the bottom left of the small box and it will ask you if you want to save. Select “Yes” and move onto the next Function. You will be amazed at the options you have. You can even turn off the seat belt beeper on the driver or the passenger side or both.
I turned on 4-door unlocking and turned the backup beeper to only 1 beep. You can turn on/off the remote button functions. Actually, my dealer inadvertently turned off ALL of my remote functions and was not able to turn them back on. This was my main reason for digging into MINI VCI Techstream TIS interface. I was also able to program a new remote Key Fob using the Smart Key Menu on the fourth tab.

Hope you all have fun with this!

BMW INPA software, what hardware OBD2 cable is the best?

Many FTDI FT232RL based cables can be modified to work with INPA software for BMW diagnosis. And they are cheap as hell. Here list all possible INPA hardware cables.

First of all, INPA software can be downloaded free here:
Bmw inpa software freedown and setup instruction
INPA driver: http://down.uobdii.com/inpa-driver.zip
INPA software: http://down.uobdii.com/inpa-2.zip

List of INPA cables:

BMW INPA K+DCAN cable with FT232RL chip

Ediabas ADS/OBD interface

 Non-ADS Ediabas OBDII RS232 interface

INPA + 140+2.01+2.10 4 in 1 BMW Scanner

Carsoft 6.5 interface

BMW ICOM A2+B+C emulator

Using experience:

BMW INPA K+DCAN cable

This is a typical FTDI based interface. This is the current most used cable for INPA.
With the USB K+D CAN type cables there are a few installation steps, drivers & a little software that you need to make them work properly. This does 2001-on cars right up to & including 2011 cars (may be limited by the hookie software for cars after June 2008 on a diminishing basis as the car gets newer). This cable is a USB enabled device, again you will need to install the USB to serial drivers. However you will also need to install the K+D CAN utility, this allows you the ability to switch it from a K CAN device for pre-2007 cars (see list above) to a DCAN cable. There are two versions of this utility, a fancy GUI & a MS DOS one. I find that the MS DOS one works best.

Hera’s an image of what this cable looks like:

Ediabas ADS/OBD interface Serial Port cable

As mentioned previously the ADS interface is a different protocol, if you don’t have an ADS interface with an e36 then what you’ll be able to read with a regular OBD cable is limited. Unfortunately the ADS interface seems to be the hardest to get & most expensive of all the interfaces. It works fine on the e36, e39 & e63 (note my e63 is pre-March 2007) from my personal experience.

Suitable for e36, e34, e30
Here’s a picture of the Ediabas ADS interface:

Non-ADS Serial port interface

This is a cheap interface & is readily available plus requires no modification. It works just fine on E46/E39 with either the round 20 pin connector under the bonnet or the OBD2 port in the drover’s footwell. Set up of this cable is straight forward, no drivers required.

INPA + 1.40+2.01+2.10 4 in 1 BMW Scanner

This is a interface contains four software of BMW scanner INPA K DCAN cable + BMW DASH E6x V2.1.0 + BMW Scanner V1.4.0 + BMW Scanner V2.10 cable. The scanner comes with INPA OBD, ADS interface and none ADS cable for all all systems (K-line and CAN-BUS) of BMW series and OBDII diagnostic system.

Carsoft 6.5 Interface

CarSoftware interface can be modified to work with INPA, but it is not recommended. When you first got INPA, you have to run a carsoft test to “initiate” the lead every time. What a PITA, stay away from this solution! The black serial cable below only works on OBD1 cars like pre 2001 e39 and this will work for all K CAN (e36, e39, e46, e53, e63).

BMW ICOM A2+B+C emulator

BMW ICOM Rheingold not only comes with basic ISTA-D ISTA-P diagnostic & programming software, it comes with lots of engineering software, INPA, EDIABAS, WinKFP, NCS-expert, NCS-dummy etc. So INPA is well loaded to BMW ICOM A2+B+C diagnostic system, but you need to do some configuration work. This is quite good for experts and technician.

NCS Expert OBD2 Cable for BMW E60 E61 CIC retrofit coding

This is a guide for how to use K+Dcan cable retrofit a CIC system to BMW 2010 E61 which previously had MASK Nav. You can do BMW E60 CICI retrofit coding with the help of the cic retrofit instruction here, and maybe it is relevant to other models but please check first. First thing is to source all the bits you need. For BMW diagnostic tool, you can try items at uobdii.com. The list below is what is needed to go from MASK NAV to CIC with part numbers. In this case there is less to change than if going MASK-CCC or CCC-CIC as the connectors on the rear of the Head Unit are different. Luckily I had the MASK system so some parts were compatible which saved money.

OBD2 Cable solved BMW 2000 E39 523i ASC / ABS airbag lights on

This post begins with one car owner’s Euro version of a 2000 E39 523i and its ASC/ABS/airbag lights on symptoms, then followed with the BMW scanners advice.

Car model and year:
Euro version of a 2000 E39 523i

Car symptoms:

• ASC/ABS/airbag lights on but, had no the codes read
• some of the door locks are not working
• reverse distance sensor is also non-functional

BMW scanner advice
INPA – need rework and soldering
For your use INPA will be the best, because of the ease of install, and simple repair needs.

If I were you, I’d buy this cable http://www.ebay.com/itm/301504092069 (for E39 you should bridge pin 7&8, soldering is fine) and just in case you should get the 20 pin adapter
http://www.uobdii.com/wholesale/bmw-20pin-to-obd2-16-pin-connector-free-shipping-1446.html

Do not install anything on the disk that comes with that cable. You will just use this driver pack http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/…0Certified.exe, and then set up INPA.
You’ll be able to do everything to BMWs older than 2006 with that setup.

INPA (and friends NCSExpert, WinKFP, Tool32) is easy to set up, and very powerful to use for diagnostics and even programming, but it’s a little hard to navigate and figure out things at first because it doesn’t have an extremely easy user interface.

INPA K+CAN scanner with FT232RL Chip – plug and play
For the first beginners, or the technician who are not experienced with the retrofit and soldering mentioned last parts. The easier option is to buy one INPA K+CAN scanner with FT232RL Chip, it is plug and play tool without rework and soldering.

If I were you, I’d buy this one $25 free shipping:
http://www.uobdii.com/wholesale/bmw-inpa-k-can.html
It is an OBD2 to USB interface for BMW cars.BMW INPA K+CAN allows full diagnose of BMW from 1998 to 2008 cars.BMW INPA K+CAN is built in 2 lines K and D-can magisterial.

You will just use this driver pack http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?1329lmik8g0c7nc

ISTA/D and ISTA/P – New and easy to use
Easy to use: Others like ISTA/D ISTA/P are very new, and some like ISTA/D are very easy to set up and use, but getting them to run on older cars (without the ISTA specific connection interface) is not always possible. But they’re very easy to use.

Keep update and fix bug: Besides, ISTA/D and ISTA/P keep updating, such as ISTA/D and ISTA/P already update to the newest Rheingold ISTA-D 3.48.30 ISTA-P 3.55.2.001, which is compatible with Win8 System.

With programming tool: NCSExpert, WinKFP, E-sys, EDIABAS, inpa

GT1/DIS – not available in the market
GT1/DIS is a huge pain to set up and run, dealing with VM and the slow speed of it. However it has a nicer user interface and easier to navigate, and GT1 /DIS is not available in the market in China so far.
