benemorius - I have the same problem when trying to use INPA on my 1994 E36 M43 engine BMW. I can connect to all other modules but not the DME. How did you manage to overcome this on your setup? Thanks, Scott
You have an ADS interface?

Hi yes I am using an ADS interface.
Scott
If you are having difficulty reading a car equipped with a DME 1.7 (M42 or M43 engine) with INPA, try communicating directly with the DME using EDIABAS Tool32. The file you need to load is DM172K20 for the M42 engine or DM173K20 for the M43.
Hi!
I just finished installing and setting up INPA 5.0 on my old laptop.
Surprisingly I was able to access nearly all modules except DME.
The DME 3.1 is missing from the e36 engine selection menu (MS40.1 and DME3.31 exist)
Could an earlier version of INPA support this DME or am I just missing a script file?
Im running INPA with ads connection on a 1992 M50B20.
cheers
EDIT:
So i tried INPA 3.01 and the script for this older dme was not included.
Is it so that INPA is not able to read DME3.1 or am I just missing something.
It is irritating that all other modules are available with INPA except DME..
Carsoft 6.5 is able to connect with the DME and read the error memory.
Should I next try to go with DIS? Or does someone have any suggestions?

i have an E36 1994 and i use Inpa with ADS connector and cloned Interface and i can't read any data...
e36 1.8is Class II M-Technik
Sorry for bumping this old thread,
I'm still wondering about the same problem that I described above, is there any way to establish a connection to the DME 3.1 -non vanos M50 (other than carsoft..) and get some data out?
I've been searching around but haven't really found any info regarding this old 3.1 Motronic & INPA.
If someone has any ideas I would be grateful!

Thanks.
Hello,
i have bmw scanner 1.36 with interface and Ediabus with interface(inpa compatible), USB to serial adapter cable and obdII and 20pin cable for newer cars.
I need ADS interface for my Z3 with 20pin connector, so can i modify any of mentioned two interfaces to be like ADS interface as i saw on the internet they have interfaces with knob witch is use to choose between OBDII or ADS mode so i assume that inside of interface it can select betwen different pins or something similar?
I use this two interfaces for e46 and other but i would be glad if i can use it also on e36 and older. For e36 i ned kkl, so i just conect with extra wire a 16# pin form 20 pin conector and 1# pin at the obdII 16 pin conector, this is for batt+? I read that this 16# pin is only for autodetect that without INPA still work, on the other side i also read that without 16#pin INPA wont start the readings.
So i wire this two pins between obdII and 20pin conector and with obdII ediabas interface INPA will work for e36 cars and older?
So i have
-BMW scanner 1.3.6 with interface
-OBDII Ediabas (it says "inpa compatible")
-USB to serial cable (virtual COM port)
-ADS (20 pin)connector on one side and on the other side is male 16pin connector that connect to ediabas obdII female connector and obdII ediabas conect to USB to serial cable and than trough USB to computer.
Please if someone has DIY link with pictures that i can use to build/modify this two interfaces i allready have.
On this picture is my tools that you can see inside what they look like
In EDIABAS interface a see that pin 15 is not conected to PCB.

Many thanks! But where there particularly version 3.01. I have found only 5.02 and 6.4.3?
The people help please! Where to take a version INPA for diagnosing the DME3.1? e36 91 M50B25.
Really, my pirated crap software will crap on the snap-on day and night. Have fun resetting a blocked alarm. Can your crap-on adjust height of a SLS? Didn't think so. Total investment into a laptop that will do late 80s to current cars is $200 with buying a laptop and cables needed.
How much did your crap-on cost?
Privet,
I have issues communicating with the OBD1 DMEs with INPA in ADS and OBD modes, instead I use GT1 in ADS mode to read codes/clear faults/ and view real time data of the DME in my E32/E34.
Performance Tuning and EWS Delete for MSS52/MSS54/MSS54HP/MS41/MS42/MS43/ME7.2/M5.2

Stop wasting your time and just buy Gert's ADS/OBD interface. It's the best ADS/OBD 20pin cable you can buy, I even built a 20pin to OBD2 converter to use on never cars like E46/X5 and it works awesome.
You cannot use a USB->Serial converter, you need a laptop with an actual serial port for ADS mode to work. They're cheap since they're old now.

Hi DUDMD!
It`s clear that GT1 is cool, but is expensive! I have only INPA/EDIABASE interface. I need to diagnose DME 3.1 with INPA, but I haven't found in 5.02 and 6.4.3 the support of DME3.1, only 3.3.1. Here a question - where to take a version INPA with support DME 3.1?
Gerts interface works with gt1 just fine, and it will diagnose your DME just fine.

I use DIS v44, it works with my OBD1 540i DME just fine. I use INPA most of the time to just reset things, but there's a lot of modules that the INPA won't access on my E34, that's when DIS with Gert's interface in ADS mode has 0 problems doing everything I want it to.
You need to have a REAL serial port connector on the laptop and a REAL ADS interface, obd2 to 20 pin converter will not work with older BMW's, usually 95 and older need an ADS interface to work with all modules on the car. USB to Serial converter will not work. That's why Gert's interface is a serial connector that is a 20 pin plug, it's the only way to work with older BMWs.

I've been trying to get my self a diagnose kit for my 1993 E36 325i. However, without knowing about this ADS interface or about the USB issues. In short, I bought a USB - OBD2 cable and OBD2 - OBD1 adaptor. After reading a bit more (a bit late though, as I already bough the cables!), found out the USB won't work and I'll need a real serial com port (that implies buying another laptop too) and this interface. Now, where can I get the interface from? Or what should I be googling for? Thanks
