An uneducated consumer is why BMW dealers are able to stay in business. Did any of the shops used the 20 pins diagnostic port in the engine bay or did they just use the 16 pin OBD II connector under the dash? Or don't you know?
I needed to take the X for its bi-annual smog test and before heading out to the EPA station I used my scanner to verified that there wasn't any DTC present. My scanner couldn't hook up with the DME via the OBD II port so I used my 20 pins port in the engine bay. Scanner was able to communicate with the DME and no trouble codes were present and the readiness were all completed and pass. Brought my cable with me so that the EPA station could hook up their scanner to my car.
Get yourself a 20 pins to 16 pins BMW connector cable and see if a scanner can communicate with the DME. Too much work to do this yourself, than you life is FML. |
