Help! I was following the steps in post #7 and when I had to install the ftdi driver I got blue screen of death
Just try it again, it might be a one off glitch.

It has been constantly doing that every time I try to do a clean install

See if that can direct you to the problem.

Okay, I downloaded it and configured Windows to create MiniDump files on BSOD. I am back at school however and do not have the car or scanner on me. When I return back home in a couple weeks I will holler back
So, I actually got it to work on my Windows XP laptop. I think soldering pins 1+2 is what did it
I had the same issues with the Hardware Faulty error. Remove all of your installations...drivers etc. Reinstall. When doing the cable drivers have the cable plugged in to the car so that the cable gets power from the car. (I had my ignition on). It worked perfectly after that. So in short.....when doing the drivers try having the cable plugged into your car.

has anyone downloaded the drivers form http://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm
and got it working on windows 10?

Plugged in to the OBD2 in dash?
Or the 20 pin under the hood?
I am yet to find this 20 pin connection.

Ok Working on Windows 10!
ok so the write up on post#7 for an install on windows 7 works almost the same as windows 10.
You will need these drivers

Now do as described on post #7.......
Except one major thing!
PLUG THE UNIT IN TO THE OBD2, AND MAKE SURE IGN IS ON!
Who ever said to turn the key on was a genius because NONE of anything worked with the key off.
Now you may still get a lot or errors, saying device it not working or installed.
But plug it in and turn the key on and click on the .exe file and it should find the device.
Now. I'm off to read on how to actually use PA SOFT 1.4
anyone got a good link for that?

Ok just bought one of those ebay bmw scanner version 1.4.0 with mini disk, the tablet i installed on is a 64bit running windows 7 pro. (it has no disk drive so i retrieved the bmw-scanner-1.4.0-v-never-locking_1 & CDM21228_Setup from PA Soft website)
first i installed bmw-scanner-1.4.0-v-never-locking_1 and ran it it gave the error drivers not installed
second i installed CDM21228_Setup and ran it, it gave two green lights saying installed
(ran the first program again and got no drivers error)
(followed the install manual install tips and downloaded folder came with windows me and xp installer NOR WIN 7)
so i was stuck like most of you for a minute, until i tried this, which i hope works for all of you out there trying to get this thing working
go into the folder (or run the app and click manual install and it opens the folder) CDM v2.12.28 WHQL Certified

I purchased a ~$20 BMW scanner 1.4 and ran into driver install issues. Thought that I would pass along what worked for me.
1. Download the x64 driver for Windows 10 from the following: https://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm
2. Follow this foreign-language youtube tutorial to learn how to install the drivers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZLhlfDmmog
3. Plug in the scanner to my computer and then to my laptop and everything worked great after I staterted the .exe file: BMWScan140.exe
I did the above^^ but noticed a difference in the foreign language version. When I plug the cable into the laptop (not plugged into the car), it came up with "BMWScanner(!)" in the device manager (just like the video). I downloaded the FTDI driver set and manually told it it was the Serial Bus Converter (it successfully installed just like the video). After doing that, the BMWScanner now identifies as "USB Serial Port" with a (!) for missing driver (just like the video).
The difference is when I select that and point it at the FTDI drivers, I do NOT have a "USB Serial Port" listed as one of the drivers when selecting the ftdibus.inf listing. Does everyone else?
I chose a different USB Serial Bus Convertor instead and it gave me a BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) and rebooted to another BSOD and now I can't get into windows from it. I'm going to make a bootable USB drive and try to do a Restore (windows restore won't work from the advanced recovery boot screen). If that doesn't work, I'll do a fresh windows install.
Any pointers on why the FTDI chipset drivers don't include the USB Serial Port driver like the above video at 2:04s ? Any help would be great.
One of the things that I might have done wrong (and correct me if you know).... I installed the drivers with the cable plugged into the OBD dongle (but not plugged into my car). When I went to try to use it the first time, I unplugged it from my laptop, plugged the cable and OBD port in, ignition on, waited a minute or two, then plugged it into the laptop.
I didn't get a Driver Missing error. The OBD plug actually blinked like it was communicating but I got these messages "Error communicating with IKE" and "Error communicating with LCM". Thinking this was a driver problem, that's when I tried the above and got the BSODs.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Any ideas on how to do this in Windows 10 64 bit? I keep getting the error shown below.
