Hey guys I am trying to connect my 540 touring to DIS and it seems like DIS is not really able to recognise the car.
My specs:
INPA 3.0.1 & EDIABAS 6.4.3
DIS v44
Laptop with 32 bit XP and serial port
Tiny ADS interface cable rev 2.2
I can get INPA to connect to the car and it notices the difference between me switching the ignition on and off, but that is about as much as I can achieve. Unfortunately, from my research online, INPA cannot really connect to many of the modules, this is why I installed DIS on the laptop.
DIS will communicate with the car, or at the very least recognise the existence of the car, but beyond that I am not able to get it to do anything. For example when I open the engine module, without the car connected it will not do anything and give me an error, but with the car plugged in it gives me a screen. The screen however identifies the car as having an m62, and all the rest of the information in the screen will be blank ie: vin number of 0000000 etc. Says no fault codes since the last time they were cleared 0 kms ago.
Most other modules it will say that it cannot connect or that everything is blank but it will allow me to go in and look (and again give me no info)
Does anyone know what could be the cause of this? Has anyone had any better luck than me? I just want to try to clear the block on the key (God willing haha).
I have been able to connect to my old 525 fine with INPA and was even able to get live data, but I sold the car before I tried DIS on it. It's not the computer either since I have tried two different computers with DIS (lot of time spent installing) and I had the same result with both.
