BMW USB OBD Diagnostic thread

Hello guys,

Trying to upgrade to EU2. and setting up my WinKFP, after I put the last 7 digits, it brings up to the screen below. Do I pick default or the ECU = 19....

Also I bought the CD from first post (romanian seller) however it came with winKFP 5.0 and I read in this thread that we need at least 5.1.6 so I download an updated version online that comes with WinKFP 5.1.6 but it came within BMW Standard tools and it upgraded all those programs that I already had from the CD I bought. Could you let me know if this is ok or what I did pretty much ****ed me up and now I should delete everything and re-start everything back from the CD even though is an older version of WinKFP. Also I my battery charger should be here on wednesday so just trying to be ready for the day to jump in and do this.

Thanks in advance.

Lets get one thing cleared up. There is a lot of fluff on the CD that comes with the Ebay package if all you're looking to do is flash the DME. You only need two programs, the communication interface, and the E46 "daten":

-EDIABAS
-WinKFP 5.1.6 (no earlier version than this)
-INPA 5+

Also, for the people that have headers and no cats, would you first upgrade to EU2 and then install headers or viceversa? I'm kinda stuck on that because I won't install headers till this weekend.

Only thing is, when I open up INPA there are no models listed. I only have F1 for Information, F2 for Script.
Do you have any idea how I import the models list? I read it somewhere, but can't find the link right now.

looks like after upgrading from online, now mine is the same, only shows information and script. Any clue how to fix it?

hello, mount Inpa.5.0.2.ISO with Daemon tools and go to the mounted drive in My computer, navigate to Referenz\Install\Instprog.exe

after you do that the models will appear in Inpa menu, if you bought it on ebay from catastefy http://www.ebay.com/sch/catastefy/m....p2047675.l2562

you should have some videos that show these steps

regards!

Anybody done any work with Windows 8? I've got INPA running fine on Win7 64bit with a Belkin F5U409, but I'd really like to switch to 8.

I am going to contact the seller to see if he can just install everything for me remotely.

I had that problem with the PA Software. The reason was that it was written for Win XP which was in 32bit and not 64. Once I reinstalled Win 7 in 32 it worked just fine. Some programs have to be run in "compatibility mode", or in 32bit if they are older programs that were written for 32 bit and cannot work on 64.

guys,

I need your help. My husband and I just finished our 330i engine swap into our 323i (MS42). See my thread if you are curious.

We successfully programmed the car DME to the 328 software as of 5 mins ago.

We were told that the 328 (USA) current version is 7526757 and the latest 323 (USA) current version is 7526754. Based on our research this info seems to be accurate. However, when we updated our software we read our current DME version and it was different from the latest 323 (USA version). the version that we wrote/flash over was 7526765. Therefore, this lead me to believed that there is a newer 328 (MS42 USA) flash out there.

can anyone confirm or deny?

thanks

this lead us

I just want to say thanks to everyone who has contributed valuable information in this thread and has made it possible for myself and others to reflash our DMEs. I was able to re-flash my 330i with the EU2 tune successfully last night...THANKS! BTW I was using my Asus laptop running Windows 7 64 bit.

I had to do the same thing as you and I successfully re-flashed my 2002 330i last night. I only had a 6 amp charger...it worked fine and it didn't take 20 minutes either. Many have re-flashed without a charger. I used to custom tune my WRX and re-flashed that damn thing 100+ times and never once used a charger. If your worried about your voltage use a fast computer and go for a long drive beforehand.

The only thing im a little confused about is the part number for the ECU using the link on the first page..

http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E4...me_programmed/

Am I going to be using the first part number listed? It make no reference to EU2 and the only ones that do are for SMG tranys

*Edit*

Its not letting me post the link... After I select my production using Europe, the first part number that comes up has a empty description box.

I got INPA and everything to install fine, but I'm having a helluva time with the F5U409. I have the win7 64bit driver that i used to get it working before, but Win8 just sees it as an unknown device. I even waited to plug it in until after installing the driver.


anybody have any ideas?

try a different approach, on the FTDI website there is a .exe setup that will install drivers automatically: www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM20824_Setup.exe

and theier statement regardinf Win8:

Support for Windows 8
There is no official release of Windows 8, but FTDI have validated that our drivers will function correctly with the Developer Preview and the Consumer Preview of Windows 8.

regards!

Thanks for the response! I still can't get it to work though....I've tried uninstalling all drivers, running ccleaner, then running the program, and just about every combination in between

After reading through 10 pages I am very confused. But still would like to give this a shot. I will be getting ebay headers in a few weeks. The cable from ebay in post one is all I need? Along with the programs suggested. I am looking to eliminate the cel from no cats that is all.

Yes, buy the cable/software package from the Romanian eBay seller, catestefy.
Then follow the DIY I posted within the first few pages. Any software errors you encounter, keep reading my posts.

Its not too difficult once you understand which program does what.

Alright my bad I missed that post. Thanks!

Hey I need some help installing installing WinKFP so I can do EU2 euro flash on my 02 330xi. Everything went well until this error shows up (pic in the bottom,) but the DIY says I have to "load it up" but I can't find what his talking about anywhere on my computer. I try to type that file (SGIDC.AS2) name on notepad but it says "file not found." What I'm missing? Where or how can I load that file in notepad? I have WinFKB version that came with the software and I need to update it or download 5.1.6 version, does anyone know how to do this?

Here's the website I found this
