    What is the exact error you are getting? Try setting both the send and receive FIFO buffers to 8 under the com port settings for Com1 (also make certain you are using Com1).

    As far as I know, no one has reported success using an ELM type interface with any BMW software.

    CarSoft cable you need to run CarSoft each time you use it then use DIS, etc. VAG KKL cable that is not needed, but you will need to modify it.

    Ok, i understand.

    VAG KKL and Carsoft cables give the same level of access/informations to the module ?

    I cant verify the VAG performance, but the Carsoft setup works for read, clear, and code funtionality.

    VAG will be my next mod to try.

    Of note....

    Carsoft interface confuses INPA with battery voltage being ZERO, but works fine, same with DIS, and 100% correct with SSS/Progman.

    Its not really a problem, but this is why Im going to try VAG next. Just to see the differences....

    The VAG KKL cable and be properly modified for the voltage. Some obscure test modules in DIS I think might need it. Also you can do auto vehicle ID and that is the main reason.

    Do you click the mouse and then move it a little? Did you try press Ctrl + Alt to release the mouse from VMware then click to lock it again?

    Hi,

    I have receive my carsoft cables.
    Carsoft is ok but after I install INPA, it do not want to launch because "API.DLL is missing".
    In the directory C:\INPA\BIN , there is not de api.dll and api32.dll !
    I have copied the api.dll and api32.dll of the C:\EDABIAS\BIN dirfectory in C:\INPA\BIN directory but it doesn't work (error 135 api.dll).

    Could someone send me api.dll and api32.dll of INPA by mail ? @ patmolinat@gmail.com

    Thank you very much in advance for your help !

    I have installed another version of INPA/EDIABAS and now, it works for all cars without E46 !! And my car is an E46. Can anyone send me the PRG files (in directiry EDIABAS\ECU) for E46 ?

    You need to setup your environmental variable PATH to include the folder "C:\EDABIAS\BIN"

    I done that but it doesn't work.

    I have installed another version of INPA and it runs good. But in the liste en cars, i don't have E46 (F3) ...

    But on the E83 there is the same DDE that mine (moto M47 New). So when i choose E83, i have an error message :

    ifh-0003 DATATRANSMISSION TO INTERFACE DISTURBED

    I had done all configurations same that explained on the 1st page ... help !!!

    Liam,

    You will find the file in c:/EDIABAS/Hardware/OBD . If you don't have it, PM me with your email address and I will send it to you.
