I am using K-DCAN cable along with Carly/Bimmertools lite/BimmerCode/BimmerLink on my phone and ISTA on Windows 10.

So I got the K+D Can cable and it does now see the "ignition on" I still get a CAN bus communication error though (I'm thinking it's a cable issue) and I can't seem to get the service functions working in DIS ;( I played around a bit with INPA and that seemed to work fine (but in German) but I think I reset the Readiness monitor and now my check engine light is on with no DME codes! I'm thinking the light will go out when the drive cycle is completed ?? We don't do much with emissions testing here so I have no experience with how that works.

I don't use DIS or I'd try and assist. Try to get a copy of ISTA running. I find it the most complete when doing diagnostics. The installations are much easier to get through now than they used to be. Otherwise, I use the other methods mentioned earlier if outside of the garage.

After a lot of fiddling with the cable (junk!) I finally got the idle with A/C on down by 50 rpm. The adjust range is limited to -50 to +150 which sucks but the -50 is welcomed I wish I would have bought a real ICOM unit when they were available for about $500 (I think) There are a few available for $800 + which is over $1000 in my money and I just can't afford that at the moment. I'll probably play around with the cable to see if I can get it working better. I checked again for codes and there is none but my check engine light is still on which is freaking me out a bit! Can anyone verify that is normal for the CEL to be on until the drive cycle is completed. It was never on until I reset the readiness monitor instead of the adaptions.

OK, took it for another drive and light went out!

Nice when things work out. I'm still waiting for my opportunity to experience that.

BTW, I also wish I had bought a real ICOM before the chip shortage. They were "only" $400 US before the chip shortage. Now most places are out of stock, or as you mentioned, over 2x the price. Fortunately the clone I purchased has been working great on all my vehicles. Fingers crossed that continues.

I've had a bit more time to look into the cable issues and it looks like there is a good chance I just need to set my latency on the One Stop cable to get it working properly with the Dcan It's been a while since I messed with this stuff and I'm getting older! It's good to hear that your clone ICOM is working good I have heard a few stories about the clones dropping out the same way a crappy cable can do so that would really suck!
