u did mention that earlier with installing from CD
i thought because USBs aren't as restricted as a CD or closed off i wouldn't have too.. will try again
*Edit*
that worked
onto manually installing drivers for the dreaded usb cable
*Edit*
installed drivers ending with port for both drivers, no other COMs were showing and the cable still installed as COM3, dont understand that but changed it to COM1 to be safe, set latency to 1
checked ediabas.ini to make sure interface says interfeace=std
bd, it does
however there are several interface= options, do i have to change them all to std
bd or just make sure the first two are ?
also checked obd.ini and it's showing COM1
*Edit*
re-ran OBDsetup again as per howto instructions..
it shows read value 'TAG' failed ! and i actually believe it had this message earlier and i may have missed, not sure where in the registry to fix that?
*Edit*
Checked my registry and I was missing a Tag dword registry
Added a new one named it Tag
Ran obd setup again and it said the tag value of 0 needed to be 1
Went and registry changed that and re ran obd setup
Everything is OK
Restarting
*Edit*
a little bit of an update
plugged cable into labtop (LED is on) then obd port the put pushed keyfob into slot (did not turn on)
ran INPAload and it showed battery black dot and ignition white dot?
realized i forgot to edit PATH in environment variables so i added the ending needed
re ran INPAload and still the same thing
bottom of INPA says running in green
havent tried ncsexpert yet either, just figured it wont work
do i need to run the d-can.exe?
do i need to have the vehicle actually turned right on and running?
just watched the below videos
BMW's INPA K+CAN setup instruction part one.wmv - YouTube
BMW's INPA K+CAN setup instruction part two.wmv - YouTube
i did notice he dragged the USB driver folder over to the C:\
also noticed he manually installed from there but choose the top option for manually installing, i choose the one below that which makes you pick between two drivers
i noticed he selected COM2 instead of 1 and didn't goto the PATH area or check INPA or OBD files after to confirm
can i go back and try updating drivers the way he did then jump back to INPA and try again or do i have to re do the second half of the install?
*Edit*
i tried installing drivers as like shown in youtube, showing ignition off
tried installing driver as com2, no go
ran obdsetup everything still fine
forgot to change obd.ini to com2, will try that
if that doesn't work may have to try piratebay copy since i know now i missed a few things on it after doing this so many times, i was able to even get both black dots in INPA during that install which i can't seem to do here
