dude, you are the Bob Ross of BMW repairs. When I get angry at my tool, the BMW engineers or whatever doesnt work, I watch your video and come back to job, confident I can do this. Tks
I have to stop a minute and thank you for all the information you're putting out on fixing our 'ole favorite cars and helping us keep them on the road and running smoothly. MANY thanks...!!! :)
a note to all pre-2000 owners the only way for any of these to work properly is to make sure you have "jumper wire hack" for the diagnostic terminal under the hood!! i spent many months with alot of different scan tools. but none had FULL access and most wouldnt function fully until i jumped the wire with a 1" piece of wire under the diagnostic cap found the video on youtube accidentally but THANK GOD I did !! everything works now :)
Great video as usual. your videos are different from most people. YOU are like a teacher, I really like the way how you present the information. I will buy a BMW one day, when I get it I will be very knowledgeable.
I have that inpa cable d+ can When i trye to conect with my car it says. Ihp0006 error something like that. My car its an 1994 e36 318 is obd ( the big conector o the engine bay.) Its the cable defective or i have installed something wrong
have a 2004 BMW x3 2.5i 4d SUV is this required for this year and model?? And is it possible that this make your 4x4 light come on ?? I also did a transmission filter change and a oil change, oil filter change, Bosch spark plugs change, and also did a new facelift shift knob. Does all that have to be reset??and could any of that make the 4x4 light come on? And it's on when I start the VEHICLE but when I drive it turns off and 4x4 functions work.
Great video! I was wondering if you have any idea if the BMW scanner can do a function / bidirectional test on the SMG transmission for an E85 2003 Z4, like reduce hydraulic pressure. I just purchased the car and wanted to do a fluid exchange. Thanks
I would like to ask you using BMW Scanner 1.4 can this change mile to km on the dashboard for e39 (530i)? Most BMW service center, they can not change because the software are updated and current system can not change for old BMW model.
Big fan, Thank you for giving the courage buy my 1st E46. I am at an impasse and can't get support from seller with the BMW Scanner 1.4. I have a Widows XP laptop and think I've been installing the software correctly. No issue installing the software. Nest step - 1st connected hardware OBD module to car then connected cable from OBD to laptop which opens install assistant that recognized new hardware and followed prompts. That's where I'm stuck. It appears to be looking for a driver it can't find. Your input is much appreciated. Thank you again for all the great videos
@@ckegman6103 Thanks for your response. Unfortunately it does not work on Win10. on that laptop either. Seller states that it is only compatible with XP. You get an A+ for effort though. Cheers!
Hi i try to find a programme that can run the INPA adaptor K+DCAN , on my E39 523 . After i got the adaptor,(with empty CD) , i've downloaded and tried hard to work with the "Mike's BMW Tools"...So finally im not so sure what i need anymore, I'd appreciate any advise!!
Thanks for this! We have the BMW scanner and bought a disc bc I’m computer illiterate. It will scan but after the first two lines, everything else says it’s not available. Did I install something wrong? My son is trying to diagnose the convertible top not working on his 2000 323ci. Installing the software has made me crazy. Lol
I have a important question for my bmw e46 320 td 150cv auto 2003 on IKE coding with BMW SCANNER friend touch the config on new IKE coded, is necessary ACTIVATED or Desactivated (Alternator Signal VIA CAN) and (OIL press Switch VIA CAN) please i dont like to start the car Maybe damage parts. Thnxxx
Another that must be considered is Scan Master ELM - this one is extremely comprehensive and, best off all, GRAPHS sensor outputs so that they can be reviewed after a test drive.
If you want to get a dcan cable, it's very important to get one with a green board. They come in green, white, and blue. The ones with the green board are so far the most reliable. My white board cable failed on me (burn marks).
hi any idea if it which scan tool will do my car BMW E39 TOURING-2001-525D?? I have a warning light on my dash, its for the self levelling air suspension. my suspension went down a bit over night off side rear... I replaced the rear 2 suspension air bags, replaced the valve block manifold on the suspensions compressor as it was leaking air slightly, replaced 1 of the suspension ride height controllers as it was broken. . after replacing all the parts the suspension is working fine and now stays up, but my problem is:::the dash light is still on the dash !!... be able to scan my e39 touring ,year 2001 as above?. and will it be able to re callibrate the rear suspension manually and then turn the dash light off?. any advice appreciated. many many thx dave
I got a k+dcan adapter, came with software that I'm not sure if I need them? ex.BMW TOOLS, VMplayer, DIS/TIS, SSS, FULL DATEN files, I tried to install but I probably need a laptop with XP software. I'm not sure that I need all these programs? I'm still trying to install it. Problem is, it didn't come with any manual, just some install hints. / thanks for your video.
Hello 50skid, I have a problem with my bmw e46 it that's not connect to my scanner I have checked all the fuses the display on the scanner comes on but it seems the scanner can't connect with the vehicle computer Thank you

hi-i have an bmw e39 --525d touring--2001 yr----I like this tool but do u know if it will tell me why my elec windows/mirrors don't work?. also will it test rear air suspension as I have a warning light on for that??… (its the self levelling warning light) will it do bi directional stuff what ever that is?. thanks in advance-dave from uk.
Can these tools be used to synchronize the DME and the EWS 4.3 in a 2006 BMW X5 3.0i E53??? I have a no crank no start situation after I "rewrite" the EWS 4.3 with the AK90+ & VXSCAN Adapter, adding a new key. Any idea to fix this???
I need to know if the ABS,BRAKE,4x4 Lights Stays On. Do you need to use any type of computer to scan the BMW or is it Necessary to use a BMW Scan tool. Please I need an answer will appreciate your advice to resolve my problem with the transfer case motor or whatever it is.
I really enjoy your videos. Have you experienced where the OBD provides power to the scanner (all lights light up once plugged in) but no data comes to the scanner? I've tried different scanners with the same experience; the lights on the scanner work (it's getting power) but it can't connect with the system to provide any information. I tested with a multimeter and get voltage at the port connections. I cleaned the ports. Still nothing. Any ideas? Really appreciate any help. Thanks!
I download inpa with same wire and I keep getting api job error or no search results any ideas as to why I am getting this when I try and acces inpa data. Also is there a way to use inpa to reset start code or rolling code so my car can start I am getting start no crank issue.
I got a question. I bought my e46(2000) 323i earlier this year from a guy I know in my area, it was dirt cheap cause he moved out the country for work. I want to work on my car but every time I have to remove the battery, I know theres a thing about resetting and inputting the engine code. how can I do that with little to no information. theres no manual. all I got is the title and keys.
Question, for the vanos. Should those numbers match up 100% exactly? Mine are off in small amounts. I can upload a video if you wouldn't mind checking.
How about doing an update for ISTA and the other ODB tools you have used on the recent uploads? I've been using BMW scanner and a basic ODBII WIFI reader for years but the scanner has recently become unreliable in connecting, so I dug out INPA again, but all my errors are in German. I tried to install ISTA - it seemed to install successfully, but it will not connect - how did you get it to work? Also do you know of anything useful for an early ODBI E36?
Just to clear up the general confusion that surrounds the Fuel Trims: Adaptiv Fuel Trim - Low engine load - Low engine speed Multiplicative Fuel Trim - Medium engine loads - medium engine speed Both of these are long term and integrator is the short term fuel trims. As for WOT operation the engine doesn't use closed loop, but defaults to a pre-programmed map for WOT and runs the engine rich.
This is so damn helpful, I got INPA working on an xp virtual machine, which I had to patch together from several sources which wouldn't work on their own. It's useful, but any information where I can get explanations of what the values mean is great.
Yeah I don't even know--gotta speak German, I think. But take a look on the message boards, e46fanatics and bimmerworld and bimmerfest and others. There are boards specifically for coding. It's never been worth my time to really look hard for more info on INPA--I just plod along and figure out what I can manage.
@@50sKid too bad you can't copy and paste within inpa rather than manually typing in 20 letter German compound words into Google translate. I use it for live data but its much easier with ista or PA soft.
Which one can reset the battery adaption..when you change out the battery it needs to be reset as you know..and which one can also program the locks to automatically lock after driving from a start position? Thanks cool vid
You can code it with NCS Expert. A lot of information on the forums - bimmmerworld, e46fanatics. It's easy if you know what you're doing. For the NCS Expert you will need the K+DCAN cable with the INPA software(They come in pairs)
Great video bro. So I followed your guide to troubleshoot my electric fan issue as it’s not coming on. I activated the fan using the software and it comes on just fine so this indicates that it’s not a fan issue. Can you guide me what could be the culprit? I even turned the AC on and also removed the thermostat sensor wire but still no luck. It doesn’t come on unless I activate it from software. I’ll appreciate any help.
I’m having a similar issue. I’ve got a bad instrument cluster, so I know that that might be part of the problem. But did you find ever since the issue? Thanks.
I haven’t fixed it yet but it’s an issue with ms45.1 where the cars knock sensors are adapting incorrectly which I believe is due to the vanos seals going bad, but other than a re flash I’m not sure how to fix it. I have yet to do it because for ms45 there isn’t much tubing available. Renovol or however it is spelt recently released software but kind of expensive. So I’m waiting till more people figure ms45 out or find someone who does
Hi When you start INPA... F3 .... there is no “Functional Jobs” ?? I have the same issue with me X3 E83 ?!? Why?? Functional Jobs now show in some models?
Can we please get a list of software needed. Not the ram or GB needed no details I know talking coding to some one might not be your thing, but I would like to know the software needed lol
very good videos , you have helped me get over some of the hurtles of what to expect while working on bmws and what others expect and what they get. you give enough. so far i have inpa, running on vista ... I mite try DIS or PROGMAN because they still un on 32 bit operating system, and the insta d and insta p new software requires more then the xp and vista does to operate, I mite dual boot windows 7 and vista on separate hard drives, just boot log into what ever one i need. Because of your vids I also got AK90 and key cutter.... and have cut the key and stuff already, the things we can do and take for granted I tell you. What got me into BMW, I got 2001 x5 .4.4i e53, I LOVE IT. Been car nerd kinda, so why not right. hopefully all is well with you. Thanks again
Are you charging for the keys? And if so, how much. I'm trying to decide if I want to buy a cutter and how long it will take to make back the investment. Lots of BMWs in my town. I just ordered the AK90 and a blank for my own car but didn't get the EWS 4 adaptor since a quick ISTA scan tells me I have EWS 3.
@@robertcoyle9071 get the cutter and ten blanks... Its worth it... I dont cut keys for anyone yet.... Im still practicing . but i use the ak90 to program new keys
@@luciferfluerdelis4974 I'm certainly getting one. VW and Audi use the same key style and I called 4 locksmiths until I found one that can do them. $65 just to cut. Thats robbery! People around me have no other choice but to go to the stealership. And in my state they don't license locksmiths. Cut 5 keys at $35 a piece and it would pay for itself and I have the stuff to program EWS keys which I could charge for. Lots of German cars in my town.
50's kid how do I clear adaptations with BMW Scanner? (I have used it for basic troubleshooting for years but I don't where this specific feature is located)
Question Did anyone successfully get any of these tools running in Linux under wine? I know virtual machines are a lot easier but it would be nice just to launch them in a Linux box and go. A quick google search only shows me a couple of people had the same idea but never went anywhere with it. The ONLY thing I'm using windows for is to run my BMW tools and it would be great to just partition my drive and install the OS I actually use on a daily basis.
Awesome video, I just bought two obd2 read scanners for code reading, Autel Maxiscan MS300 and MS509 for factory specific code reading. Works well but cannot do reprogramming like changing the values. The Autel tablet models, higher end units can check for like power window malfunction and steering angle sensor all that. Your units are great value, I should get them too. Great video thanks
Hi, I have a 2001 BMW 330i. I am told that my transmission needs to be changed because the transmission computer isn't working. By 2 BMW / German car repair shops.

When you start INPA... F3 .... there is no “Functional Jobs” ??
I have the same issue with me X3 E83 ?!?
Why?? Functional Jobs now show in some models?
Can we please get a list of software needed. Not the ram or GB needed no details I know talking coding to some one might not be your thing, but I would like to know the software needed lol
very good videos , you have helped me get over some of the hurtles of what to expect while working on bmws and what others expect and what they get. you give enough. so far i have inpa, running on vista ... I mite try DIS or PROGMAN because they still un on 32 bit operating system, and the insta d and insta p new software requires more then the xp and vista does to operate, I mite dual boot windows 7 and vista on separate hard drives, just boot log into what ever one i need. Because of your vids I also got AK90 and key cutter.... and have cut the key and stuff already, the things we can do and take for granted I tell you. What got me into BMW, I got 2001 x5 .4.4i e53, I LOVE IT. Been car nerd kinda, so why not right. hopefully all is well with you. Thanks again
Are you charging for the keys? And if so, how much. I'm trying to decide if I want to buy a cutter and how long it will take to make back the investment. Lots of BMWs in my town. I just ordered the AK90 and a blank for my own car but didn't get the EWS 4 adaptor since a quick ISTA scan tells me I have EWS 3.
@@robertcoyle9071 get the cutter and ten blanks... Its worth it... I dont cut keys for anyone yet.... Im still practicing . but i use the ak90 to program new keys
@@luciferfluerdelis4974 I'm certainly getting one. VW and Audi use the same key style and I called 4 locksmiths until I found one that can do them. $65 just to cut. Thats robbery! People around me have no other choice but to go to the stealership. And in my state they don't license locksmiths. Cut 5 keys at $35 a piece and it would pay for itself and I have the stuff to program EWS keys which I could charge for. Lots of German cars in my town.
Oh and all the diagnostics and AK90 SW run fine on Windows 10. No need for 7 or XP
50's kid how do I clear adaptations with BMW Scanner? (I have used it for basic troubleshooting for years but I don't where this specific feature is located)
I put a new(er) transfer case actuator arm on my 2011 BMW X3. The dealer wants $2,200 to replace and reprogram. Can one of these tools reprogram it?
Any windows operating system restrictions? Does it work with windows 10?
Hi mr.50sKid
Do they come with the possibility for wiring diagram ?
Thanks.
Regards.
I do believe that Ista D is the best software for BMWs working with k- d-can cable
Question
Did anyone successfully get any of these tools running in Linux under wine? I know virtual machines are a lot easier but it would be nice just to launch them in a Linux box and go. A quick google search only shows me a couple of people had the same idea but never went anywhere with it. The ONLY thing I'm using windows for is to run my BMW tools and it would be great to just partition my drive and install the OS I actually use on a daily basis.
Awesome video, I just bought two obd2 read scanners for code reading, Autel Maxiscan MS300 and MS509 for factory specific code reading. Works well but cannot do reprogramming like changing the values. The Autel tablet models, higher end units can check for like power window malfunction and steering angle sensor all that. Your units are great value, I should get them too. Great video thanks
I have a transmission fault on my 06 m6 will it read it?
Hi, I have a 2001 BMW 330i. I am told that my transmission needs to be changed because the transmission computer isn't working. By 2 BMW / German car repair shops. Is the transmission computer inside the transmission to where I have to change it or can I reprogram or purchase in transmission computer separately? I would really appreciate the help in clarifying this thank you. And thanks for your videos.
with inpa there is program NCS expert that allow you to program/activate blocked functions in your car like DRL lights , panic mode, alarm, and lot more depends what year car you have and units installed in car
True that, I forget about it because I had always used Progman to do that (and to a certain extent, bmw scanner can do it as well).
when buying either of these cables, how do you obtain the software on your computer so you can diagnose the vehicle? i have an e39 1998 528i bmw
google the software--you've got to figure that part out by reading the forum posts
Is there a avaiable tool to programm a e46 to beep if the key is inside the ignition keyholder?
Have you ever used or any opinion with the....Bavarian Technic Basic Cable. I am trying to figure out which one to buy for a Twin Turbo 2008 335XI E90 model.... Thanks and nice clear video...
never heard of it
Just picked a e46 and have been unsuccessful finding 1.4 software. I’ve bought 2 different ones of eBay and neither have worked. Any help would be great
K+DCAN and INPA is much better than bmw scanner. Also, bmw don't use INPA anymore, they use ISTA/P now
Thanks, I'm going to check that out!
What a good guy, Thank for sharing and your funny at the end of video.
What would be a good choice for activating ABS and low pressure fuel pump on an E90 2011 335d?
Does the OBD device drain the car battery? The ELM Bluetooth Model to be specific
if you leave it in for a month maybe. but dont worry if you are just trying to scan it once.
