PASoft BMW Scanner

[EuroFreak]

I've emailed PA soft to try to confirm this but as of now, no response. Do you guys know for certain if the interfaces on eBay with the PA Soft 1.3.6 software can reprogram the mileage of a USED LCM? (I'd post a link but still have newbie restrictions... its item number 320272726065). Considering the price of that interface, I could potentially save $300 by using a used LCM instead of having to get a new one. Thanks!

I have 1.3.6, but whenever I try to use it, I get a "hardware not ready" error.

Any ideas?

Thanks

dont waste your time, i have full version of pasoft 1.4.0 and it will not work with k/l line interface. you need a special interface which is only sold with the software.

Hi man can you send me BMW Scanner v1.4 to kilax@interia.pl.
Thx you

I'm interested in getting the PA-soft dongle hex file as i want to make up my own PA soft interface.... even a dump of what communication there is between the PC and the PIC would be great.

I have the official PA-Soft interface schematic, if you needed it.

I want to make up my own PA soft interface, too.
I'll be very thankful if you send me the materials that you have (interface schematic, etc.).
Thank you. My e-mail address is mario@tu-sofia.bg .

hi,
What's in your instrument cluster (dashboard) that does not current correctly work?
In my bmw320d dash is the fuel gauge calculation that's causing this error. I think it's OBC program fault (hex) that is increasing fuel instead of lower each 100km! MAybe because I've tried to change language from German to English, don't know for sure what else I did!!! Or activating door auto-lock or drive door open by remote!

I made my own cables of carsoft6.5 and pasoft1.3.5. (copied from chinese ones) both correctly works on reading infos/errors from the car.
I think only carsoft made this error, when by changing some adresses in program memory when trying to activate some othe functions I've tried.

[Zekerbox]

I just wondered if anyone else has figured out a way to use this software with it cryptic hex code!

[toneX5]

only demo works with k/l line interface, full version does not.

reading through your thread it looks like you are quite knowledgable in the pa software. In your experience do you know if the program lets you access RDC monitoring, allows you to access the alarm system, ie audible and optical on disarming and arming of the vehicle.
I can get a version from China or would you recommend PA direct?

[fourcylfox]

I ordered the cables with carsoft 6.5 but can these cables also be used with PASoft?

The PASoft 1.3.6 download is available at:

http://www.sinodownloads.com/down/do...ool/350503.rar

I found this link by following a link that was dead but posted in one of the firsts posts. after some poking around I found the directory structure and found this pdf.

http://www.sinodownloads.com/down/do...ARE%20LIST.pdf

which lists all of the software available and what the numbers are so you can download it.

Once my cables get here I will try it out.

[TerraPhantm]

I'm not sure about the carsoft cables, but I can't get any version from 1.2.3 to 1.3.6 to work w/ the chinese INPA/EDIABAS cable.

I bought last year an BMW scanner 1.36 cable to correct the VN number and milage. It did the job perfectly. But only because it has the old programmable chip in the IKE. Clusters from 99 on do have a write once chip (sure for E39). You cannot change this anymore. I am not using this interface anymore, because I changed to INPA / DIS.

As was told to me, BMW scanner wil never work with Carsoft cable or vice versa. It is another chipset.

Can BMW Scanner 1.40 correct mileage on E39s? Mine is build date 11/98

hi there
I got the scanner, demo P.A.Soft BMW Scanner v.1.4.0 works brilliantly.. i know that my cable is not suitable for full version.. so i tried P.A.Soft BMW Scanner v.1.3.6, but it says "Hardware is not ready"
And one more thing, i have carsoft v6.5 and it works only on LIVE DATA READ, but when i'm trying to scan for errors, software shows an error and quits.
Any suggestion where could be a problem ?
Thanks a lot

I got that working over a year ago and created a web page about it. http://www.bmwgm5.com/PA_Soft_Intf.htm
The PA Soft 1.4 Demo interface will not work with PA Soft 1.3.6, so I changed my interface back.

I've been messing around with PASoft for almost a year. I finally got it to work this morning, with a serial-usb cable even. I changed my settings in device manager to 600 baud, flow control to "Hardware", and deselected FIF0 in advanced settings. I don't know if it will work for you, but it did for me.
