nope, the system isn't seeing anything no bars at the top whatsoever.

Do you have a manual trans? If so, you have to put it in neutral.

nope, auto tranny.

Any way to get a screen shot of what you are seeing at the main DIS screen?

I will post some tomorrow, when I play some more with it.

Assumptions, correct me if any of these are wrong:

1) You are using vmware. What version are you using?

2.5.2

2) You have the round OBD connector in the engine compartment.

yup, round connector under hood ( only thing to notice here, should I have a female #15 in the connector??)

3) When you try the GT1, you are actually connecting the GT1 to the round OBD connector under the hood (not the one under the dash).

Correct !

Sorry, I meant what DIS version number. I'll try and reply tomorrow. Otherwise, happy holidays!

I finished retrofitting rear PDC to an e90 last week, it coded up fine and all up probably took 10-15 minutes. These units are so handy.

I've just done a E90 business > professional navigation retrofit and all of my SSS coding is in this thread: E90 Business > CCC Professional Navigation Retrofit - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum - E90Post.com

More goodies, dedicated IBM X31. Modified the registry so that Windows doesn't load Explorer at start-up anymore but just opens with a bare wallpaper, and also mapped the DIS Progman (under VMWare) ETK TIS directly onto functions
