Two posts from me one answer, I can't tell what you are answering.
Also maybe do a screen shot of the ADSsetup output so we can see the results?
Is your INPA set up for COM1?
Does the laptop have a modem? If so check bios to make sure COM port is COM1 and not another because of modem

I assume it went correctly, as i first go an directnt.sys error when i started INPA (i think this was the file, not enterily sure).
And after i ran ADSSETUP+restart, then INPA did not give errors anymore.
In the BIOS and Device Manager COM1 is shown with correct IRQ/address, was first thing i checked.
I have not checked if the modem is using it but i did not install the modem drivers just in case.
I assume that INPA is communicating with COM1 / serial port correctly otherwise it would not show de black battery dot when i connect 9V to pin 9 of the port.
I cant find any COM setting in EDIABAS.INI or INPA.INI.
If you still want it i can get a screenshot of de ADSSETUP.exe execution.

Never assume.
Hardware modems don't use drivers
Com port in obd.ini
No warranty of any kind implied or given and no liability for any loss, damage or injury, no matter how incurred accepted.
Dont have an obd.ini in c:\ediabas\bin
I think because i installed with ADS.
Saw some people install with OBD and then switch to ADS later, maybe only then you get the obd.ini?
Got 1 com port reported in device manager COM1 the other port is the LPT1 printer port
The modem device without drivers in device manager reports that its using the high definition audio bus
Bios reports 4 com ports:
Com1 at 3F8H / IRQ 4
Default setting is Com 1
Not sure how to check if the modem is using a com port. Will google tomorrow, gotta go

"I think" is another way of assuming. There is an obd.ini
You have not answered the basic wiring check for battery

When you assume something that you can check and thereby remove the assumption there is no need to make the assumption.
If there is no fuel in your car, assuming there is fuel, and then based on that no amount of checking other things will solve the problem

Hallo, can anybody send me the gerberfiles for the mk2 ads? Thx
UPDATE:
The above circuit works and is correct except for the obd connector wiring.
Made a stupid mistake: I soldered the wiring mirrored on the back of the OBD connector.
This is how the wires should be on the female 20pin OBD port of the car, which is equivalent to the backside of male OBD connector which is attached to the circuit:
ADS_CORRECT_port_andbacksideofobdconnector.JPG
I was able to read out error memory of my Instrument Cluster and activate the self test.
Also have read out the Airbag.
I have by far not tested everything, it seems i cannot connect to my ECU.
My car is 325i from March 1994 which has EWSI, NOT EWSII.
I think this is the problem, it seems from other forums that INPA 4.4.7 only has files for the DME 3.3.1 with EWSII
It seems that 3 or 4 M50 Ecu's:
https://www.pelicanparts.com/BMW/tec...DME-Repair.htm
M50/B25
thru 8/91 : Bosch Motronic M3.1
9/91-8/92 : Bosch Motronic M3.1
M50tu/B25
9/92-12/94: Bosch Motronic M3.3.1 <---MINE
1/95--> : Bosch Motronic M3.3.1 w/ EWS-II
Can somebody verify only the last one is possible to read in INPA 4.47 (selecting DME 3.3.1 in INPA)
Or is there a solution for this? Cant find anything.
I read on other forums they use DIS for reading out the engine on older models.
thanks!
UPDATE:
also went trough the identification quick test: no errors, gave me 3 control units (first only 1): BAE/ABSMK4/ZKE4
error memory quick test: got an error and it stoppe with a red screen: FS_LESEN: Ediabas-fehlernr: 0 Satze: 6
I can read the error memory of the dashboard.
Im having the feeling i would be better of with an INPA version around 94/95
Also have tried to detect the ECU with this tool (which i ran through virustotal and my virus scanner first), could not find it either:

Your 325 E36 ECU can certainly be read, regardless of the information to the contrary in this thread, by using the few files in Mistreku.zipo

This can be avoided by...……….

1) Try t get one labelled
2) KISS principle. Cut the 16 pin connector off, then strip away the insulation and leave ALL the wires it comes with connected, then you only have to add the pin 16 wire (IIRC without looking) This puts the box near the 20pin but you just use a long serial lead and saved a load of effort.
I do have a well worked out easy way to do this but if you are building your own I guess that would be unnecessary info..

Well, your connector seems obviously better then mine, most wires had the same color on mine, actually, also no pin numbers on the back. My problem was that i tried to hurry that part.
Im more like a keep it simple enough person. I wanted to provision for a service reset button.
And i dont have a garage and wanted a long cable and close the hood so i dont draw a lot of attention in the quite-busy-street i have it parked.
That leaves the problem, it seems i cannot close the hood with the connector in.. also not with that position of the hood where its still a bit open.
Any ideas?

I had just found that one also, it bypasses the EWS check right?

You can still so this
Not a problem for me, bonnet closes with the connector plugged in and the tic tac box with the board in under the bonnet. I did draw a 3dPrintable strip board and socket case but I still eat tic tacs so KISS principle
(because there is no thumbs up)

Haha, i dont eat tic tac's .. but i have put it in a tic tac box and realized later that you did that too. I before thought, what a coincidence that it fits so exact. I threw away all the tic tac's
When i close the bonnet i see the cable out of the connector being compressed and i still have to drop it like an inch or two further. So im afraid to break something.
Can you close the bonnet with the big obd 20 pin connector like this (which i have) ?:

Yep. I guess you could cut down or remove the the 20 pin case and just pot it in silicone for protection
So, my way of building it is easy enough to follow isn't it? I didn't know why you numbered the A-Z though, I figured A,6 is specific and 1,6 is ambiguous, for example.

Hmm.. crap, i finished the connector quite nice now.
Will add more pictures of the whole thing including the fritzing design when i got the DME working too.
I made your board in Fritzing and then layed out the schema in generated over the one from post #1 to be sure i have it right.
Thats also the reason its numbered 1,6 (for example), it actually starts from 0.. just like when you hover over it in fritzing. Seemed easy when i was soldering it.
I guess you mean the row/column numbering right?
Yep... it was easy to follow and your help afterwards great. I followed your way because it seemed the most clear to me from start to finish and the least error-prone.

^ Ahh I understand, but it looks like you took a lot of effort to be sure, when I had made 4 from those plans, and in fact forgotten how I came up with them. The idea being that someone that can solder can make one of these with no understanding of how it works and not have to work out how to make the diagram into a board, just put the component legs in the same places and same track cuts and it will work. Simple.

Yeah, it took a lot of effort so i dont fry my ECU, and then soldered the cables mirrored
So now i know that it doesnt fry easily. Also read this back in the thread somewhere that most likely all those pins are protected.
But ive learned a lot about electronics, also tried to understand the circuit and what transistors exactly do (in addition to just being a switch).
Hey Guys, I'm From Brazil and I made the ADS interface based on HansV SMD squematics, i made it like the squematics, but i cannot connect to my car modules, (its a 318IS E36 1993), i tried to edit ediabas.ini to ADS, and OBD.ini to ADS with comport 1, but the only thing that i achieved was to see the black dots on battery and ignition, anything different than that, I always receive the same error, "IFH0003 communication with interface disturbed", in the inpa and in the tool32, i receive the same error, now I'm in doubt, if I made something wrong in my interface, or still a software config issue, anyone have any suggestions to me???? I'm using the Ediabas 6.4.7 and inpa 5, running on win XP 32bit in a notebook without serial port, so I'm using a USB-Serial Adapter, this adapter works with another interfaces that I have, so I think its not because the adapter that I'm having this problem. I've tried every module and nothing occurs, just the same error, I need to use Inpa to see whats happening with my cluster, because my RPM needle dont pass 4k rpm, but my engine is already ate 6k rpm. If Anyone can help me, I appreciate that.
thanks in advance.
PS:sorry for my bad english
^ As soon as you said USB to serial adapter it all went horribly wrong. Find another computer with serial, even if you carry a desktop outside to do so.

that's will be a problem, i will try to find another computer with serial port, because all of my computer, even my desktop doesnt have one, but there is no one who made it work with USB-serial adapter???? because in this thread some posts behind, someone said that it worked with serial adapter, but didnt said how it worked
TO be fair the black dots are a good sign but so basic I do not know if they would give any confidence this can be sorted out.
Some laptop docking stations have serial

probably it will be more a hardware issue than software, but i will try another test and of course another computer with com port, or a pcmcia card for my notebook, and see whats happens, if i managed to work this interface i will post here, and thanks for the reply
TRY with a proper serial port so the interface gets a fair test before trying other less reliable serial port methods otherwise you won't know what is the problem.
