But I can only present the codes as hex or decimal numbers - I cannot translate the error codes into plain text.

And only for devices on the ibus or kbus...
carsoft uses .DXT files to translate codes, can you use those? i have all DXT files from ver 6.5 (i can send if you want to look those over).

BMW UK have said it's not possible for my car to have any of them as it is without memory seats and pre Fuse 57 and no F41 either.

How wrong they were

Hello from The Netherlands,

I have an 1999 E46 316i with a brandnew 16:9 Navi / MK4 DVD / BM54.

Now I have the Reslers USB IBus Interace and I want to use Navcoder 2.2.1 to code my navi.

But it don't get the communication.

I use the IBus cable at the rearside of my car. (the cable with 3 pins by the cd changer)

I can choose in Navcoder for COM1 or COM3, but what must I choose for USB?

I have not yet registred my Navcoder, is that a reason? Or can I get communication with a Unregistred version?

When you install the driver for the IBUS interface it will create a VCP (virtual com port), the virtual device is access via a normal COM. The easy way to find out which COM is the USB VCP is to run NavCoder without the interface connected, note the COM numbers and then run NavCoder again with the interface connected, the new COM number will be the VCP.

You dont need to register NavCoder, unless you want to code the BT ULF, but you could register anyway, just to say thanks to Jochen for such a great utility

Yes, I wanna register, thats no problem!

But first I want to fix the communication.

Without USB I can choose between COM1 and COM3, but with the USB in I can also choose between COM1 and COM3.

I use WinXP SP2 and the USB <--> Serial is installed fine when I connect the interface at the first time....

I have noticed sometimes that Navcoder will not 'find' the VCP even though the USB VCP has loaded and can be seen in Device Manager. Usually closing, unplugging the USB, reconnecting and restarting Navcoder will get it to work, but it CAN be hit'n'miss sometimes.

I've not noticed this, maybe you run NavCoder before connecting the IBUS interface? NavCoder does not re-scan the available COMs.

That's a Windows issue.

When NavCoder starts up, it scans the available COM ports.

If you plug in the USB interface, it takes a few seconds for Windows to make the COM port available.

Start NavCoder too early, and Windows won't have the COM port open yet... so NavCoder won't find it.

Give yourself a few seconds after the USB interface has been connected for Windows to do its thing before you start NavCoder
