INPA, NCS, & EDIABAS DIY

[hunds02]

Not sure why people do not just get the eBay kit from the Romanian seller. Its all over the forum. No viruses, no fussing over which cable to buy as the cable and software are all bundeled up in one nice package.

I didn't read through the first post but the instructions seemed way too long. The kit from Romania is idiot-proof and works on XP, Windows 7, and 8.
It probably works on Windows 10 too, just need to confirm with the seller. Besides INPA, NCS, and Ediabas, it also includes a few other programs like SSS and Winkfap (probably spelled that wrong).

This pac includes winkfp too. The guy in Romania is selling free software lol.... If you read the first post, it's super easy. I'm not a PC wiz by any means and was able to get this software up and running with in hours and 15 bucks, oh and a peace of mind. This software has no virus's either, some just have a bigger firewall than others.

Is the pac from romain is in English?

With this cable, did you have to cut it open and solder pins #7 & #8 together and/or some other hack to get the E53 to show up?

The link for a cable in the OP is to an expired ebay listing, and I would rather get something that is more plug and play. I saw a demo on YouTube for the 1.4 BMW scanner tool with PA Soft and that looked simple to use, but unfortunately I have read that only works up to 2003 models and I have a 2006. There is so much conflicting info out there on the scanning/coding options and much of it seems out of date, but this is a pretty recent thread. I just ordered a BAFX bluetooth OBD2 scanner so I could try out Torque Pro app on my Android phone, but I don't think that will help with what I need to do, so I'm looking for the right cable to work with a laptop as well.

I don't want to do anything real advanced; my main goals are the following, in order of priority:

* Turn off cold check for my halos

* Reset adaptation for after I change my transfer case fluid

* Display transmission temp for when I change my transmission fluid
(I just ordered an infrared thermometer for this, which may work fine)

* May want to change the window roll up options, etc..

* Display and clear codes (Android Torque Pro says it clears codes, but PC based app may be better


My work laptop has Win 7, but I don't want to screw anything up on that, so I'll probably buy a cheap Win XP laptop on Craigslist to dedicate for this and for something to keep in the garage for looking up things on the web.

Do you have to solder pins together on the one from the Romanian seller (catatefy)?
