OBD2 to USB diagnostic cable question
I wanted to get suggestions on the OBD2 to USB diagnostic cables for use on 2003 X5 6cyl. I need to retrieve some data from the system to find out why I am having service engine soon light on. I was able to extract some data with a code reader. It listed about a dozen different codes including, Oxygen sensor, a couple of cylinders misfire, speed sensor. What reliable OBD2 to USB diagnostic cable and the diagnostic software would you recommended using? Thank in advance.

For ease of software installation and program use I use BMW Scanner 1.4. Check ebay fOR sellerS selling the cable and software together.
A free partial working legal copy is available on PA Software website for people to try before buying. BMW Scanner by P.A.Soft - BMW diagnostic software and used parts reprogramming tool

My cable that works with INPA is seen by the system as a USB to serial device and refuses to accept BMW Scanner's driver so scanner says no cable present.

There is an interface that is built into the BMW Scanner cable. You need to get the correct cable. Don't assume that because you have a cable that will work with another program it should work with any program.
