If the INPA software detects your vehicle successfully, you will see 2 SOLID Black dots next to 'Battery' and 'Ignition' headings.
- K+DCAN Utility 2.0 Dear all, I have a BMW 2007/06 e87 with D-CAN interface. I am using a K+DCAN INPA cable which has a transparent housing and green PCB with. Every BMW owner knows BMW Scanner series, especially car diagnostic tool for its low cost and high efficiency, do all kind of stuff including very easy coding.
- INPA bmw and K+DCAN cable test results: inpa bmw e46: Purpose: reset BMW E46 airbag light. Tools for use: The E46 is before 2000 without the OBD2 port and the DLC port is a round 20 pin connector while INPA cable has only 16 pin connector, so I need a 20 pin to 16 pin connector.

STEP 5: CHANGING THE OBD.INI
STEP 6: SPDATEN FILES
In detail…
STEP 1: INSTALLING BMW STANDARD TOOLS
Download and install BST 212
Since BST (BMW Standard Tools) was designed for Win XP 32bit operating
Systems, users have faced issues with tools like WinKFP and NCSExpert since Win
7 64bit systems have been introduced. Running in XP compatibility mode just
wasn’t enough. Presenting you with several errors or not running at all. Only
solution was to install on a XP system or like me… XP VMware. Well that all
changed with BST 2.12 which works on 32 or 64bit systems.
WIN 7/8, 32/64bit OS
STEP 2: INSTALLING INPA software
(will need it after coding certain modules such as DME for CAS
or EWS Alignment)
Download and install my version of INPA 5.06 with Fxx Support by simply
replacing the existing folders with the folders provided in the
Replace C:EC-AppsINPA
Replace C:EDIABAS
STEP 3: INSTALLING NCSEXPERT IN ENGLISH
Download and install NCSEXPER32_ENG.zip
Copy and replace contents in the .zip file with contents in C:NCSEXPERBIN. Now
NSCExpert is in English but you will find the Hot Keys do not work. This is a bug a
fellow MHH member discovered and haven’t really worked on trying to fix it so for
the time being just click on the F# key with your mouse.
Not done yet with NCSExpert. Need to import profiles to NCSExpert. How? well
download the PFL.zip and copy and replace all contents from PFL.zip
to [b]C:NCSExpertPFL. (you will also find a lot more PFL’s by searching for
NCSExpert profiles in Google)
Now you have a working WinKFP and NCSExpert with profiles loaded on your PC
we can continue to Step 4.
STEP 4: INSTALLING & CONFIGURATING DCAN INPA CABLE
Configure your DCAN/INPA cable. If you followed my steps correctly than your
EDIABAS should already be configured to STD:OBD for use with the INPA cable. If
not you can download ediabas-konfigurator from here if it is not already in
your C:EDIABASEdiabas-Konfigurator folder. This tool allows you to easily
change the ediabas.ini to your desired interface. So if you are switching
from INPA to E-Sys you could use this to switch from STD:OBD to ENET.
Now to set your COM Port we must first find which COM port is being used for
your cable.
Connect your cable to your PC (some may require a 12v supply to power the
cable)
Allow the device drivers to install (for best driver use the driver that came with
your cable. If not then let windows install the best suitable driver for it)
Navigate to Control Panel, Device Manager, and scroll to Ports (COM & LPT)…look at the pic
So in my case it’s COM5. So we need to change this in the obd.ini file located in
the c:ediabasbin folder. But first lets make some changes to the cable.
Right click on your INPA cable driver for example mine is labelled “USB Serial
Port” and click on properties. Now in the property window click on the advanced
tab.
Now every driver is different but the important part is the settings such as latency
timer and received and transmit bytes. See pic bellow for the ideal settings. You
may also change the COM port number here as well for tutorial I left it at 5. Once
your changes are done we can proceed by clicking OK to accept the changes. No
close all windows to return to the desktop.
STEP 5: CHANGING THE OBD.INI
Navigate to C:EDIABASBIN and find file obd.ini and open it with an editor such
as notepad.
First 3 lines will look like this…
Bmw Inpa K+can Software Download
[OBD]
Port=Com1
Hardware=USB
So we need to change the Port to reflect our INPA cable which in our case is COM
port 5. So change it to look like this…
[OBD]
Inpa Software For Windows 10
Port=Com5
Hardware=USB
When done click File -> Save and exit out.
Very important to remember which USB port you connected your cable to as
plugging it into a different USB port will allocate the INPA cable to a different
COM port and neither tool will see the cable until the original USB port is used
again or changed in device manager and obd.ini as mentioned above.
Now to test if your cable installed correctly. Plug it into the vehicle’s OBD port and
open INPA. You should look like this…
If not follow the above steps again and correct your error.
STEP 6: SPDATEN FILES
Download and install SPDaten files of your choice (always recommend the latest)
in this case it is 51.2. Once downloaded you can now follow the instructions
provided bellow labelled “How_to_start_WinKFP.pdf” this will explain how to
import the SPDaten files to WinKFP.
Edit to update:
For NCSExpert to install or update the daten files, copy the files from SP-daten-
E##daten to the C:NCSEXPERDATENE## (where E## is whatever chassis
you’re updating). You will also want to copy the files from SP-daten-
E##SGDAT to C:NCSEXPERSGDAT (they’re not separated into different chassis
in NCS Expert, so you just want to copy and paste everything to that directory.
Overwrite everything it asks about). Then copy the files from SP-daten-E##ECU
to C:EDIABASECU
After copying the daten files to c:NCSEXPERDATENE## copy the following files
to the following locations:
copy C:NCSEXPERDATENE##*.000 C:NCSEXPERDATEN
copy C:NCSEXPERDATENE##*.DAT C:NCSEXPERDATEN
copy C:NCSEXPERDATENE##*.ASC C:NCSEXPERDATEN

INPA is a diagnostic interpreter program that communicates with your car using BMW’s own factory developed Electronic Diagnosis and Information protocol (EDIABAS). INPA is a powerful and comprehensive diagnostic tool but there is no simple handbook available that I know of which will comprehensively explain its operation or functions. The bottom line with INPA is if you do not understand what a particular function does, you are probably better off leaving that function alone, but having said that, the level of diagnostic functionality is truly exceptional.
EDIABAS can accomplish virtually any programming/diagnostic or coding function, but since it is only a computer protocol, requires seperate programs to interface between the user and EDIABAS so that it can receive and trasmit instructions. For example INPA communicates with EDIABAS to perform diagnostics, NCS to perform coding and NFS to perform programming functions. NCS and NFS are not particularly user-friendly and require fairly intimate knowledge of BMW systems to use. If used incorrectly, programs which communicate via EDIABAS have the potential to destroy computer modules, making replacement the only viable option.
BMW INPA vs. Rheingold
INPA and ISTA/D (Rheingold), which one better?
ISTA/D (aka Rheingold) is the current dealership diagnostic software for all Exx and Fxx cars. ISTA/D is the replacement for older dealership DIS diagnostic software. Likewise, ISTA/P is the replacement for older delaership SSS Progman programming software. ISTA/P & ISTA/D are designed to be used with an ICOM Interface, and with full ICOM-A-B-C, you can connect to older cars. The ICOM “C” Connection is for the older BMW ADS 20-pin round “Pacman” connector in Engine Bay. You can find versions of ISTA/D with an ICOM Emulator builtin, that allows you to use it with an ENET Interface for Fxx cars and a DCAN Interface for Exx cars. I don’t know for sure, as I do not do any Exx work, but I doubt ICOM Emulator would work for older ADS connector.
Office 2011 toolkit and ez activator for mac. INPA (interpreter for test procedures) is older factory floor diagnostic software, designed to run test procedures. While INPA can be set for English User Interface, most of the Test Procedures, which can be difficult to find, are in German.
Between the two, ISTA/D is simply a better option. It has a modern interface, is 100% English (or available in a multiple other languages), and is complete in that it does not require additional Test Procedures.
You can have ISTA/P & ISTA/D installed on a laptop aside INPA, WinKFP, and INPA without any issues.
INPA and Rheingold, how to choose for different BMW cars?
All Rheingold versions have native support for Ediabas 7.x, this option just needs to be activated from istagui config file. I can check the parameter later. This means that INPA K+DCAN can be used directly with Rheingold, as long as the Ediabas (which comes with BMW Standard Tools) is configured for this interfaces. Setting for Ediabas.ini can be found in Rheingold settings, under VCI tab (if the config file has been configured correctly). If the interface works with INPA or Tool32, then it works with Rheingold too.
ADS interface is not supported, as Rheingold requires Ediabas 7.x, and only Ediabas 6.x and older has ADS support. So to use Rheingold with ADS cars, ICOM is mandatory. ADS cars are E36, E34, beginning of E38 production and all chassis models that are older than these. E39, E46 and later E38, and all chassis models made after these are equipped with K-line or D-CAN, so K+DCAN cable (combinated interface that has both K-line and D-CAN) is good for these cars. F-series cars can use K+DCAN for diagnosis and ENET for diagnosis + coding and programming.
There are 20-pin connectors in engine compartment on all cars made approximately before year 2000, even if they have OBD-2 connector too. If there are both of these connectors available, then 20-pin must be used as OBD-2 is then connected only to DME/DDE and EGS. 20-pin connector type is K-line or ADS, depending on the chassis model. If it is K-line, then K+DCAN and obd-20pin adapter can be used.
There is also ADS interface available, it can be used with INPA on ADS cars. It can be found from E-bay, and it is called Tiny ADS. This ADS thing talks directly to COM-port i/o memory addresses, so laptop must have native COM port. USB-COM adapter will not work, period. Of course ICOM can handle these cars via ethernet connection, even with INPA. To configure ICOM to work with Ediabas, I-tool radar is used to check ICOM ip address and then EasyConnect can be used to configure ediabas and to lock the ICOM.
Note: How to activate Ediabas support in Rheingold:
Open ISTAGUI.exe.config with notepad
find line with parameter BMW.Rheingold.OperationalMode
change it to this:
find line with parameter BMW.Rheingold.OperationalMode
change it to this:
Which software for E/F series diagnosis, coding, programing?
If you want meaningful Diagnosis in English, for both E-Series and F-Series cars, you need ISTA/D (Rheingold) and you can request it here:
http://www.obd2diy.fr/wholesale/v2017-7-bmw-icom-software-hdd-with-engineers-programming-windows-7-system.html
http://www.obd2diy.fr/wholesale/v2017-7-bmw-icom-software-hdd-with-engineers-programming-windows-7-system.html
For Coding, you need different Tools, NCS Expert / SP-Daten for E-Series and E-Sys / PSdZData for F-Series.
All Diagnosis and Coding can be done with cheap DCAN Cable for E-Series and cheap ENET Cable for F-Series.
For Programming (Flashing ECU’s with new Firmware), then you need ISTA/P for for both E-Series and F-Series cars, or you can use WinKFP for E-Series and E-Sys for F-Series. For E-Series Programming, you will need an ICOM, but for F-Series Programming, you can use ENET Cable.
K+DCAN cable vs BMW ICOM:
BMW tools | ICOM (icom, icom a2, icom next) | INPA K+DCAN cable | |
DCAN | K-line | ||
Cars | New and old BMW vehicles: E & F series up to 2017 | Old BMW E series (1998 – 2008) | |
Cars after 03/2007 | Cars prior to 03/2007: K-Line was used from 1997 onwards by BMW replacing the old L-Line up consistently up until the end of 2006 | ||
Software | Updating continuously: Inpa/Ediabas, Ncs expert, Winkfp, E-sys, ETK, Easyconnect, Itoolradar, BMW standard tool, coding database, coding tool | Never updated: INPA 5.0.2/Ediabas | Never updated: INPA 5.0.2/Ediabas |
Speed | best speeds should be through an ICOM with the MOST adapter | theoretically faster, but in reality, it isn’t | actually much better speeds |
Stability | a lot more stable esp. when it comes to programming | less stable | less stable |
Diagnostic | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Programming/Flashing | used with diagnosis and also programming | not safe to program modules | not safe to program modules |
Coding | Read/Write zero issues | R/W with a K&DCAN cable | R/W with a K&DCAN cable |
Protocol | fast protocol, allows to secure flash software and read/write access the entire memory | slow serial protocol, flashing would take ages and errors could occur. Also, not possible to access the entire memory | slow serial protocol, flashing would take ages and errors could occur. Also, not possible to access the entire memory |
Similar to | Similar to JTAG programming | Similar to RS232 bootloader access | Similar to RS232 bootloader access |
Tips | BMW ICOM can be used with diagnosis and also programming. While DCAN cable can do all of those it is not safe to program modules because there have been a lot of cases where modules were bricked. You can only get your 1B file using FSC generator with ICOM on an E series car but cannot generate 1B file using a DCAN cable since it will give you an error. There is another way though of getting your 1B file without using an ICOM on an E series through the USB port inside your glovebox accessing the hard drive directly. Rather than going through all those stuff, it is more convenient to just buy the lifetime FSC code and be done with it. You program a module if you want to update the software to a newer one or if you a retrofitting a new module and want to flash it. ICOM is a lot more stable than dcan cable when it comes to programming. And you are right there are modules that takes hours to finish and any interruption in the process will surely brick that module. You can get a cheap china clone ICOM but finding a refutable vendor selling a good working ICOM is not easy. |
