How to install DIS w/ EasyDIS v44 step-by-step

[savage4life]

Hey guys I was wondering if you could help me with my easy DIS. I managed to get easy dis 44 installed on a VM following the great instructions that were provided. I am currently trying to connect with the yellow head (gt1) and a network cable. Everything is attached however i'm not sure how to setup EASY DIS to use the yellow head. Also do i need a crossover between the lan cable and the yellow head? Are there any config changes i need to make in easydis to use the yellow head/lan connection? When i click on connection setup in the admin section i get an hour glass and then it just brings me back to the normal menu. When i click on Diagnostic head in the config it it does not see any head. Any help would be great thanks!

EasyDIS doesn't work with the real or clone yellow head (GT1 or EDIC) - it has been modified by Fister to work via IFHSrv32 with an emulated yellow head or INPA/EDIABAS without the emulated yellow head.

You need the standard DIS to installed via VMware (with bridged network setting) to work with a real or clone yellow head or a natively installed DIS on an IBM T series laptop with a correctly set up network driver (the hardest part!!!).

Right on man. Thanks for the info! I am assuming the INPA/EDIABAS route would be via the carsoft cables that I have seen mentioned. I also saw another thread regarding setting it up to work with DIS. Thanks again bro!

Hi Guys
can someone please help with an install issue i have,
here is a screenshot of my problem
Screen-shot taken whilst carrying out ediabas configuration,
In the "perform APITEST"
heres what i get and i am quite stuck now,


EDIABAS Ver 6.4.7, Package: 1.2

Ediabas.ini
Interface = ADS,

RemoteHost = 192.168.68.30 This was the IP given with install guide, i have,

Port = 6801,

I Dont know what other info to include, to ease with help ??

One thing i think i need to mention is my harddrive has a couple of partitions on it, and the default drive letter is "F" (dont know if that makes any difference ??) all dis / inpa / ediabas etc is contained to this drive.

[David Mc]

RemoteHost = 192.168.68.1

[julez007]

Hello

I have the BMW E36 2.5TD Saloon 1995.

Recently bought the 20 pin diagnostic adapter & a OBDII diagnostic adapter, I basically joined the two together, so I have a usb connector at one end & the 20 pin connector at the other.

Also I have installed the BMW DIS software via vmware on my laptop,

The question is how do I get the software to work with the cables I have?

I've got the impression it will work, after reading other peoples testimonies on here.

I can work out that I run the software on my laptop with the 'joined' cables plugged into my laptop & the car diagnostic port under the bonnet.

What do I do next?

Can anyone provide a set of instructions?

Many thanks in advance.

What's happening to you happened to me when I first to create the VM image.

You'll need to delete the original VM disk image and start again and put in the BIOS delay described earlier to get into the BIOS screen.

There's 2 ways to get into the BIOS screen, F2 and ESC - I find F2 lot easier to use. But input the BIOS screen delay first, otherwise it's almost impossible to get into it.



I am re-creating my VM image again will report back if it works.

I've tried STUPIDGUY's DIS v55 with v44 Coding image and it works with the ebay yellow head fine, but it runs a little bit slow for some reason.

Anybody know how he set that image up for it to work with the ebay yellow head? I've tried to ask him but haven't gotten a satisfactory reply yet.

I don't know if you ever figured this out, but you have to remember in the dealer level the diagnostic heads are used over a LAN and don't connect directly to a computer/GT1. If it's not setup like this, you may want to try it.

crap....so i had everything working...(even coded my car yesterday)

i then installed
ncs expert
tool32
inpa
winKFP

now i when i run APItest i get "host error"


im going back and checking these....

1. Incorrect IP address for VmNet 1 (Should be 192.168.68.0)
2. Incorrect or no modifications to EDIABAS.ini file 192.168.68.1, Interface type, port 6801
3. Incorrect or more than one AMD network adapter in SCOAdmin
4. Failure to correctly amend /etc/hosts file and/or /etc/EDIABAS.ini in scoadmin
5. Firewall or Antivirus software running.
6. Failure to start IFHSrv32 netserver before opening DIS
7. Incorrect Translator (Use FISTER)
8. Incorrect Protocol settings (set vm to not run and update configuration)
9. Failure to restart EDIABAS from inside DIS after amending translator or protocol settings.
10. Software incorrectly loaded.
11. Using a diaghead emulator (seperate list of possible faults for this one alone!)

You could check all that, but you would be wasting your time. When you updated these files, the software would have overwritten your Ediabas.ini file (i.e. upgraded from v6.4.3 to v6.4.7). Just go back and re-enter the interface =***, IP address (RemoteHost = 192.168.68.1) and port settings (port =6801) from your original ediabas.ini setup and you will be good to go.

^ +1 and Ill go one step further and state the obvious.

Make sure you have started ifhsvr on the local machine before launching the GT1 VM and performing the apitest.

Even though mine works fully, ifhserv shows ip (192.168.68.1) and i can do diagnostics DIS complains about an IP conflict with GT1ap.

If you are using DIS v44, the latest release date was December 2005, so it works best with INPA v3.01/EDIABS v6.4.3 of similar vintage and only covers early E90's. You would probably be better off Getting hold of DIS v57 and using it with SSS (for coding/programming) and using them with a later version of INPA/EDIABAS (INPA v5.02/EDIABAS v6.4.7) on your car. Setup is basically the same, using the DIS v44 base with GT1 v57 program files. You can safely delete Daemontools if you wish, it is only used to mount .iso disks for the setup. I have burned both DIS and TIS to conventional DVD/CD's and do not need to use Daemontools at all.

Hi David.
but where i can found this "toolkit" for installation?
sorry but i'm very newbie
thank you

Hi!

Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!

Joe

Hi again.

when i extrct the files i gat a error massage..

! C:\Users\Ven genyo Joci\Downloads\ED_part3.rar: Cannot set EasyDIS-base-44-v1.0.nrg security data
! This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object.

do you know what i done on the wrong way?
Thanks!!

Joe

[David Mc]

Make sure that you have downloaded the complete file, some file sharing sites have a bad habit of indicating the download has been completed when it has not. You need to look at the file size on the download site and ensure that the file you have is the same size.

[Joelondon76]

Hi!

Thanks for the replay to me.
I found the problem, i tried to extract on normal windos..
When i done it on vmware it was fine!
I trie to fined out how i need to mount iso with daemon tools..
I hope i'm gonna..

I'm gonna come back if not...

Thanks!

Joe

[Dreamk]

i keep getting error 250 when installing dis. any help? thanks!

[David Mc]

There is a problem with your DIS program disk. Error 250 means that the installation has not completed properly. Try mounting the original download file using Daemontools and installing from there.

[Joelondon76]

Hi.

I have mounted easydis with daemon tools..
I just think i done it proper..
I setup the bios of vmware to boot first from cd..
But nothing happening...
The windows coming up..

Any help again?
Thanks!!

[David Mc]

Joe, maybe I have misunderstood your post, the error 250 message normally comes up after you have loaded the base program and have attempted to install the GT1 program files. If you are not even getting the base program loaded and you have it saved as an .iso file, set your CD drive under vmware to load it from the .iso file instead of using Daemontools. If you just want to confirm that the disk has been correctly mounted with Daemontools, you should be able to view the content from the drive in "My Computer".

If it is saved as a normal .bin file on disk, unmount it with Daemontools and just set the CD drive in vmware to use your normal physical drive.
