Carsoft Success!

[GEN3RIC]

ok Ill ask again. I read up some more and found that BMW Ultimate Pro 1.0 is out.. I haven't found anywhere to download a cracked version. I'm considering buying it because it looks like a decent update and includes Carsoft Information System 2.0 -- which actually thoroughly explains the codes.

Any thoughts?

Do you realize the cost? When I looked into it in Feb 08 it was $3,600!!!

Let me redact my statement. Does anybody know of a cracked version? If I am gonna drop that much, I'll go out and get GT1.

Sorry Eric,

If I knew where I could get a cracked version of Carsoft Ultimate Pro, I would also be running it. I am interested to see if you get a response on this one.

Hey got my Carsoft program running tonight, thanks David Mc.

However, most of my Modules are not responding. Car is a 1993 525IT with the M50 Vanos engine. ANything I should look at as to why the modules are not responding?

If I got an earlier version of carsoft will it be a better fit for my e34?

[GEN3RIC]

If they don't respond, they probably don't exist.. which is fine. The support is there for new models that have those modules. Don't worry if they don't respond unless its DME

Changed to an old pentium laptop that my kids don't use anymore, but it has a built in serial port. Installed Carsoft and I was able to reset the airbag light. Another BMW owner loan me his peake airbag reset tool, but it wouldn't reset the module, but car soft gave me the fault and resetted the module. Now I don't need to see the SRS light on the dash anymore.

Woo Hoo

Til it comes on again. Usually a faulty sensor sets it off for no good reason too.

The fault occurred during an extremely heavy down pour.

I just got my interface, and cables (and am having to use a USB to Serial adapter because I don't have a notebook with a serial connection).

But it just errors, and says "Diagnostic Cable reports bad connection" Both the software and the computer are set for COM2. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

hello Stevek
this is my first post here
i have exactly the same problem and the same diagnostic "bad connection"
from my compaq laptop,
no COM port so im using a serial/usb adaptor (dynex)
can you tell me please, how did you get it running?
i'd appreciate very much

Usually it's because of a dodgy adapter, I have DELL Laptop and USB/serial adapter and it doesn't work, I also got PCMCIA card adapter, but have problems connecting it to laptop. The best thing is built in serial port, sad it's only on old laptops.

Exactly what DJ Genius said. I had a great deal of luck when I used XP instead of Vista, and then even better results using the built in COM port off a desktop that I dragged down into my garage.

I picked up a port replicator for an old IBM notebook I have, and am going to see if the COM port on the replicator works the same as having it built in (it should, its designed to do exactly that).

I still haven't been able to pull live data, but am going to try the OBD2 connector inside the car tonight to see if that is the reason.

Two things to keep in mind (based on what I've seen):

1 - Put the ignition in position 1 and try to read a module.
2 - If unable to read the module in position 1, try position 2

Some of my modules read from P1, some from P2.

carsoft works fine,
The only problem I can’t read the fault code.

[JRW21]

if you do a single diagnosis it should give you the exact code. It won't give you the codes if you perform a total diagnosis.

[leoreyes69]

I try using serial to usb and it would give me a error message

[JRW21]

did you install the software for the usb cable?

[Ernbmw]

codes are in germen

[DJ Genius]

codes are in germen

Did you install the SP1?

I know it happened to me when I was messing around with files, I got it only in German. I can't remember what I did, but I think I opened a wrong file. Did you notice you need to rename the file after all the installations? Just follow the exact steps David provided and you should be OK.

[Bimmermig]

did you install the software for the usb cable?

in my case, i did install the software that came with the adaptor i bought but it doesnt work
maybe there's a better one that would do the job?
id like very much to try that before moving my old desktop to my garage
thanks in advance

Hello guys i would like to know something about carsoft...

My car is having obdii connection...bmw 318i e46 2002 model...4cyl..

I have a laptop intel core 2 without serial port (only 4 usb connections ) ....if i buy a carsoft cabel from ebay....is it possible to use...???

If so what are the required adapters should buy to use it.....????

Waiting for reply...thanks..

[320de46m47]

^^ I found that the serial port is essential ....had to switch laptops despite having bought a usb/serial adapter ...just didn't work

BTW Is it just me, or does anyone else find they are missing the Activation code with Carsoft? Or maybe it's just not necessary?

[David Mc]

Here is the info you need re the authentication code http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...&postcount=110 . If you need the proper crack file, PM me, or alternatively download a working version of the software from here http://www.4shared.com/dir/7137899/6...4/sharing.html and reinstall as per the instructions available on the same site.

[320de46m47]

when i uninstall old version and then reinstall as per instructions i get a message saying it cant complete due to being already on my pc ...?
