2008 BMW 335i

• This cable: http://www.ebay.com/itm/160845701117...84.m1439.l2649 (Everyone in forums recommended it)
• I'm using it without the adapter (since it's a 2008 and pin 8 should be open)
• I've tried drivers from this thread, v2.6 from another thread, and v2.8 from here: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm which is the actual chipset manufacturer for the device.
• I've tried on a WinXP 32bit netbook, and a VMWare Fusion WinXP 32bit install with the same results

Black dot for battery, no black dot for ignition. Just to give it a shot, I tried to register my new battery in Tool32.exe, and it "appeared" to work.

Any idea what's going on? Any way to confirm if battery registration worked?

Thanks,
Ben

I've been having the same black dot for battery and no black dot for ignition.

Would like an answer too..
