    INPA can't find DME331 | 1993 M50B25TU DME 3.3.1 E36

    Hello everyone,

    I successfully built the almost free ADS interface and installed INPA V5.0.2 on a Windows XP with a real serial port. My car has a DME 3.3.1 and INPA couldn't connect to it since it was expecting DM331K20 but the detected control unit is DME331. I searched a bit and found a DME331.prg file; I copied it to EDIABAS\ECU folder but still, INPA expects to see DM331K20. At least I'm able to read fault codes with Tool32, so I think I went through the installation correctly. That was very useful but I really need to see live sensor information from the engine in order to diagnose improper engine operation. I've tried installing and uninstalling the whole thing but no success.

    I kindly ask for your input on this issue.

    Thanks!

    Same here. I’d really like to know if anyone has solved this. Have tried every version of INPA I can. Read every INPA thread. Have got tinyADS going physically. Can see live data from Vanos (using VNC option within INPA menu). Can see battery and ignition lights correctly. But cannot get INPA to connect to the DME for live monitoring. 94 M3 s50 euro Bosch dme 3.3.1
