trying to connect INPA to my 2010 X3

[rkoski]

Hi,

I am new to this forum, having recently acquired a 2010 X3 Xdrive30i. I didn't pick the car, it was basically a hand-me-down I was asked to take from my sister-in-law by covering some maintenance bills. Anyway, it's got a check engine light on. I downloaded "Mike's Easy BMW Tools" which appears to be the easy installer for INPA, EDIABAS, D+KCAN cable drivers, etc. The package installed OK on my Win7 64-bit machine, but there was an error installing the drivers. It seems that I cannot connect to the car with the software/cable. The cable I bought does not have a switch, which I gather switches between D and K CAN bus formats.

Is someone aware of a good guide out there on how to set this up? Sorry in advance if I'm barking where others have already barked much.

thanks, Bob

Any luck? I'd like to do the same.
