I am a member of the Dutch E31 club and building a diagnostics system for members (we will all use the same setup, so will clone laptops, to avoid lots off questions/support).
Got almost everything working and reading the forums I discovered some here also have the do-it-auto ads/obd interface and apparently know a lot about DIS.
Currently testing on my 850 CSI (1994). ADS interface off course, using the German DO-IT-AUTO one.
Running laptop with fixed com port on XP sp3, with easy dis bas 44 and dis (setup following david mc instructions), no firewall.
Whatworks (already a lot for an e31):
Inpa, everything even real-time engine data and exhaust data. Can diagnose,read and clear memory and activate components (6.4.7 version), does see battery and ignition (they go black).
EasyDIS,can diagnose, read, clear and activate (so most things you need to service).API test completes correct.
Programming,but that is very limited for the E31 in DIS (only coding replaced modules).
What does not work:
- Automatic vehicle detection just skips it and gives me the list of vehicle types. After selection everything works (just get the list off all modules for an e31).
Or maybe this is the best we can get for an E31…..!
One other different question:
- Did not load the OBD driver (from ediabas/hardware/obd), just wondering would that affect the system if not and it is loaded can we then switch to OBD in INPA(after off course editing ediabas.ini).
- I assume EasyDIS is not affected by this driver, just use switch on adapter,correct ?
Thx in advance,
Huub
