Good day i did use a voltmeter to confirm battery voltage, as well as voltage at terminal B+ I also tried connecting a cable directly from the battery to terminal B+ to try and start the vehicle but nothing. I am changing the steering column because as I said the key is currently stuck in the ignition and not coming out

My '01 X5 uses only K-can, so I bought an OHP K-Line OBD2 to USB Cable | INPA ISTA Rheingold Adapter NCS Expert | Programming BMWs 1996-2007 | Windows Only https://www.amazon.com/sspa/click?ie...hdGY%26psc%3D1 to use with INPA on my Windows 11 laptop,

along with another app OBDwiz for Windows https://www.scantool.net/scantool/do...BDwizSetup.exe

According to this table I found online, your '06 X5 should be using a K-line cable, since D-line only came into use in 03/2007.

P.S. Get a Foxwell NT510 (or 520, or 530) series scantool, or a NT710, as a surefire way to get a quick look at your modules and their faults. A Foxwell BMW-specific diagnostic tool is good for a quick look (after buying the BMW-MINI-Rolls Royce software package, of course), and you'll always have the right interface for your OBD port that way.

Yes its a switchable cable and i have tried the scanned on both sides but i try again then see what happens based on your information that you have given me.

Thanks

There are 2 different K-line configurations so you probably need to modify the connector or get a different one, IGN and BAT showing only indicates that your laptop is communicating with the adapter, there are lots of threads and info on the internet on this.

Ok your correct its a K+ Dcan cable with a switch that allows me to switch that allows me to switch from K to D will try and do the scan again and see what if anything comes up.

OP should edit the first post in this thread and change the thread topic to something other than 'help'... this goes against all common sense message board etiquette.
