Some will come with a built-in switch to connect or disconnect pins 7 and 8 together (2010+ BMWs need pins 7 and 8 to be disconnected at the cable end).Supports all the cars that K-line interfaces support, plus D-CAN BMWs (BMWs built from 09/2007 onward, however do note that functionality is limited on Fxx vehicles).For USB interfaces, you want one with the FTDI FT232RL chip (others may work, but this is proven to be reliable).On cars with the 20-pin connector, you’ll need an adapter to access non-powertrain modules.Will require pins 7 and 8 to be bridged together to access non-powertrain modules.On E36 and earlier models, functionality is limited.
Supports most BMWs from the mid 90s until 09/2007.So before you get started, you’ll need an OBDII interface. That said, I will not cover those applications in this post, they will likely be covered elsewhere. There are some diagnostic functions that can be useful. Generally they require significantly more computing resources, are somewhat clunky to use, and not much more functional than what the Ediabas suite can do.
But in a lot of modules, especially newer cars, there are functions that were never enabled from the factory, which can be fun to play with.īMW Dealerships also have a set of software for diagnosis/coding. Most options are there simply to allow for regional configurations, dealer configurations, different equipment, etc. Most BMWs since the 1990s have had some capability of being “coded” – that means some features can be altered / enabled with the use of the right software and hardware. Ediabas is the suite of software that BMW gives its engineers to diagnose / configure vehicles at the factory as well as on the field.
