Need some help. I have a laptop with Windows XP on it. I'm using the K+DCan cable with USB interface. I'm getting the dreaded "No Response From Control Unit" warning. I checked my settings, checked the USB port (make sure it's set to Com 1), even used the other USB port to verify that I got the right one working. Car shows up with the 2 black circles but as soon as I try to scan anything the notice comes up.

So I went online and I noticed that the general concensus is to solder the 7 and 8 pins together, so I did it and still the same message. Also I can't seem to find anyone that uses the cable on their E36s. Most of the posts I seem to find are E46 owners.

Any help please?
