I'm selling my One stop electronics cable. if any one wants it i took to long on the shipping, and i was able to get my MHD things working. so it brand new still in the shipping package

PM if anyone wants it i can ship same day if not next day.

One stop electronics ships from over seas and take about 2 weeks if not more to get to you

Purchased my DCAN cable from EBay:

OTG cable from Amazon:

Device:
LG G3 Lollipop

Battery Charger:
http://www.lowes.com/pd_595181-41462...&kpid=50256413


Got it this afternoon, it connected right off the bat. It took under 10 mins to back up the ecu. Currently, 30 mins left @20% completed rate on a full write.


Make sure you take JB4 to map 0 and also a battery charger. I mistakenly read on another forum that the backup process took a couple of mins and initiated the proess without a battery charger, got to about 90% and error out. Went to Lowes and got the charger and the second back up zip by really fast.

that is because MHD resumed ECU reading where it stopped the first time. Convenient he?

This cable didn't work. My Nexus 7 (2nd gen) detected the cable, and the cable lit up, but it could not read codes or ECU information.

Is the chip in your OBDII cable (K+DCAN) white?

Yeah, it has a white PCB. I was told the green ones are the ones that work best?

~$85

But appears to be usable like the OneStop unit, etc.

Anyone tried this one? Not trying to clog the thread with those type of questions, but this one appears promising.

its more expensive than ones that are known to work. Why risk it and pay more?

I haven't read the whole thread. It seems like it's hot or miss unless you spend $100+ on the OneStopelectronics cable. Good to know we have cheaper alternatives!

[csu87]

cable-shack has them for about 70 and so far have worked every time from what ive seen.

[Venom]

I bought both the one-stop-electronics and the other suggested cable that wasn't cable-shack in this thread. Will update with info as soon as I get them. I will either return one or both, or if they by a miracle both work then I will resell one here.

Nothing against cable-shack or one-stop-electronics, I just want to see if it's possible to get a working cable for less than 50.

Google "bimmer software Cable"
Sounds like the perfect option!

Has anyone not had this one work? It seems like a lot of people are buying similar ones off amazon that aren't working, but I don't recall seeing someone saying this specific one doesn't work. It has a white PCB but worked great for me.

Surprised you got a white board one to work. I dont think Ive seen many say the same. Tends to be the green boards that work, and even then, maybe about 50%.

Yeah, I've been reading where the white boards don't work, but then again I've seen people link to the cable I did saying it worked for them too. It's just really hit or miss I suppose.

I was really worried about whether or not my cable would work, but I decided to bite the bullet and try one. Also, my tablet does not have the USB type A connection, so I needed a different adapter to go from female USB to ASUS transformer proprietary connection.

So far, no issues with reading stock ROM, codes, or logging, have not attempted flashing yet.

my car is 09 335i auto with IJE0S

DCAN cable:

adaptor from female USB to ASUS proprietary male for Transformer tablet:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ilpage_o00_s00

I am pretty excited because I got this tablet a couple of years ago for Xmas and never found anything to do with it! I also really like the gauge setup and convenience of being able to email the logs from the car.

I was having intermittent connection issues with a cheap usb otg cable and swapped that out for the following and everything is now working perfectly

Local k+dcan cable with white board $40
Samsung Galaxy s3
Samsung usb otg cable

Keeping the kdcan cable plugged in set off a 2DED code I believe though

looks like the 2ded is simply a confused computer code for when it's not sure why there's current being drawn.

So i see a bunch of options here that may or may not work. Is there on cheaper cable that is known to work most of the time?

Is it this one?

I haven't tried it but http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X3V4F3G should work because it's by the makers of the Carly diagnostic app. Try that one and let us know. The white/clear cables that are a "bargain" are ALL hit or miss.
