So I'm just trying to get started coding on my 2008 E92 M3. Bought the $99 cable from one stop electronics and downloaded the ncsexpert package from the DIY. Everything is unzipped to C: drive and I've installed the obd driver as well as set up my enviroment variables and port settings per the DIY. Cable is plugged into OBD2 port and I start INPA. The attached image is all I get.
The top two dots in the left corner flash nonstop and I get nothing on Battery or Ignition. The green Running bar in the lower right continuously stays up. I tried to select my chassis and select the airbag module anyways and I get an interruption in communication error. So what am I doing wrong here? I've followed the DIY to the T. I am running 64-bit Windows 7 so I'm running the software through the virtual machine and a windows XP emulator if that information helps. EDIT: Just tried to go ahead with NCSexpert and same thing there. I just get a connection interrupted error. Driver issue? Last edited by RBB; 09-30-2012 at 02:58 PM.. |

I've never ran virtual machine so I couldn't tell you if that's your problem.. But I experienced the same thing with my INPA (flashing dots on the left). I realized those mean absolutely nothing so don't worry about those.
Try setting your latency to 1 and make sure your port is set to COM1. Also make sure you ran the obd.exe file or whatever in the hardware folder (I think) Good luck brotha

I often run NCS through a virtual machine as well - not the most stable on my computer.
Did you make sure the USB port is set to COM1 and configured to be accessible by XP? |

What is the exact error you get?
Things you could try: - Run the DCAN utility? - Make sure your cable is installed on COM1. - Make sure you have correct odb.ini settings. |

I got it figured out guys, it was OBD.ini. Ended up having to create a OBD.INI file and inserting it into my Windows folder. It was not in the software package I downloaded....didn't even exist in the appropriate EDIABAS folder. I also updated my daten files while I was at it. Successfully added the alarm to my vehicle order and coded all the associated options. Also coded amber delete, door unlocks when ignition off, windows up on rain, windows up with fob, 6MT shifting suggestion....probably all the most common stuff. Everything works flawlessly, not bad for the first time. I appreciate the replies.

Do a search for the latest daten files. There are a few threads out there with a link for the download. Then follow these instructions. I used the copy paste method....didn't trust the laden.bat files to get it done correctly.
