For all of those who would like to try DIS/GT1, here is the sequel to the Carsoft saga.. After tearing my hair out for over a week, experiencing a UNIX learning curve about as steep as Mount Everest and some help from friends, I finally have a working GT1/DIS setup on my laptop.
I have learned that in order to be successful, you need the following tools:-
1. A copy of the instructions on how to set up EasyDis, including supplementary information contained in my page 8A (See the Easy GT Folder on the 4shared site)
2. VMware v6 software
3. Daemon Tools software
4. EasyDisv44 base CD
5. GT1v44 Programs (versions later than v44 do not have some coding/programming capabilities that were functional in v44)
6. A printout of vi commands from here http://www.cs.colostate.edu/helpdocs/vi.html
7. Some supplementary instructions (now also in the Easy GT folder on the 4shared website - see the "READ THIS FIRST" file)
8. PATIENCE - To load and get this system working will take a minimum of about 4 hours, assuming that you can follow instructions and have some computer skills.
If you have everything but item 8, stop reading now. If you are good to go, visit the Easy GT folder on the 4 shared site then start googling for Daemontools and VMware.

Thanks, keep up the good work!

I got it working as well. I'm going to test it with my carsoft cable tonight.
I have also been able to get it to run on 4 different computers now by following my own directions I posted in this forum.
Randomy, your instructions are excellent, but I experienced a particularly troublesome laptop, which uses a Pentium Core Duo processor, so I had to go much further in order to discover how to determine the Network setup. DIS and TIS ran fine - I just could not communicate with the car. I know that many others have had this issue and after hundreds of hours of reading and research, I was unable to find anyone who could identify the issue and resolve it - hence this thread.
As I have warned earlier - DIS/GT1 setup is not for the faint-hearted, read the "READ THIS FIRST" file in the Easy GT folder of the 4shared site as it contains the limits of my experience -after that you will be relying on information and the good nature of other members of the forum and the BMW internet community.

David Mc: thanks for the instructions! Unfortunately, it looks like Easy GT folder is no longer there on 4shared, or at least it doesn't come up in their search. Any chance it can be shared elsewhere? :-) Thank you!!!!
It's there all right, this is the link http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/7...ng.html?rnd=93 (remember to use "help")
Thank you, thank you, thank you! See all now
awesome is luke- did your carsoft cable work? if not what type of cable or interface is needed for this to work?
Hey everyone, first post on here been lurking for awhile!
I know carsoft doesnt work with ELM327 USB interfaces but does this? Im trying to find some decent BMW software to work with ELM
Not sure about the ELM but it can be made to work with VAGCOM KKL cables.
Here is a good place to start looking for the info http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum....php?t=1317311

How can I find a carsoft cable on the net? How to search it on ebay? I was not able to find any.
I have carsoft 6.5, INPA-ediabas installed on my laptop.
What cable i need to purchase to use them?
Ican see some iso standards, can bus etc... data at cables, but I read many forums here but cannot find exact data about how to recognise the interfaces.
This is what need to know:
-Dis-GT1 and INPA requires D-CAN interface. This is not working with anything else as I know
-CARSOFT has a spec carsoft interface??? but it's compatible fully with OBD2 interfaces of other cars?
-vag com cable can be use for INPA-DIS-GT1 but can be tricky as we see it here..? Is this compatible with carsoft?
actually I wanna know how many interfaces I need if I wanna use
INPA
CARSOFT
(DIS-GT1 in the future when I'll have my 5tg degree
Please someone answer these together for me
THANKS IN ADVANCE
PS:ANYONE from UK, Hampshire?
Also can I use this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-BMW-PA-SOF...item5639592a28
for carsoft 6.5?
Can I use BMW SCANNER PA Soft 1.3.6 interface
for carsoft 6.5 ?
Any experience?

I am not sure if I understand correctly, but even if DIS is NOT connected to a car it still moves forward when you hit the diagnose button, in fact you need to hit the diagnose button to select your model car even before DIS try and speak to your car.
The only reason I can see if I understand correctly from your post is that you have only the DIS base installed and not the actual DIS software. To install DIS takes two steps, first you install the DIS base, the front page looks exactly like full DIS but then you still need the operating side of DIS.
If you press the Administration button and you cannot access for instance the system menu you need to install the operating side of DIS.
