    E46 Not being able to idenitfy ecu in flashing programs

    Hello everybody so I am having trouble with using bmw flash, mssflasher and other programs like that.
    I have a 2006 325ci convertible and I am running windows 10 on my macbook.
    Bmw flash shows my cable connected, attempts to connect, goes blank, and then goes back to the cable connected text.
    Mssflasher when pressing identify ecu, the text say can't identify ecu.
    INPA does not show Ini path, ecu path, and Interface numbers.
    INPA shows battery and ignition filled in when turning the key and I have a video of showing the program reading throttle control.

    When trying to read it my battery was on a charger.

    Thank you to anybody can help me solve this problem.

    I have some trouble with BMW Flash and MSS Flasher, when I try to read the ECU in my 2002 m3 I get an error :

    In MSS flasher it says this:
    Detecting FTDI ports
    Found 1 device
    Port opened
    Timeout waiting for echo from FTDI
    Trouble Iding the ECU

    I tried using the Ross tech vids and bmw scanner 1.4 FTDI cables

    In BMW Flash I got the message attempting to communicate to ECU and then it went back to the main screen.

    Your car uses the Siemens MS45 dme. The software you are trying to use doesn't support MS45.
