E53 OBDII Port Dead
I was working on my X5 the other day when my cable for INPA came in! Naturally I watched all of the videos on how to set it up, and when I went to plug it in and nothing but no connection codes came up. After fiddling with it all day today I’m throwing in the towel. My OBD port lights up the little light on my scanner cable, but it does not send info to my PC. I checked the fuses, and they were all good. I figured out that fuse 7 will set of the immobilizer alarm if pulled! Jokes aside, do you have any info? It’s similar to another user whose 20 port cap was loose with a dim odometer and no codes from the 16 port OBD. Any suggestions? |

I understand the concern XD. Yes the ignition was on. And update: I got my INPA to work after I wiggled my key in the ignition. My guess is something in my lock cylinder is messed up. Every once in a while I would turn the key to start and it would just make a single click and nothing, but work when I try again. Both my keys are also dead when the sort of worked before. I think that could mess up my OBD port as well.

Which INPA cable did you buy? Are pins 7/8 bridged?
The quality control on the cheap cables isn't great. I have one cable that does the same as yours. Lights up at the OBD but passes no data to the computer. Another cable works fine. |

I got an OHP K-line, so it should be bridged. I recently got it to work, but I think it was more of a Christmas miracle than anything I did.

Also, a quick question. If I want to add the rear fog lights to my US spec X5, is it as simple as a euro LCM swap? I understand that I’ll get the mileage tamper light (which is already present on mine), but will I have to do any fancy wiring? I’ve got the bulbs in place and they’re wired up to something.
