In case anybody is looking to buy a cable for coding, I just got this one on Newegg:

It's about half the cost I've seen them listed for on other sites. Just thought I'd share, since lots of people probably come here for info on getting started (like me.)

I just bought a laptop, hoping they get here soon so I can start learning to code my car

Good luck with your cable and everyone would be happy for you if it works.

Most of us were using the recommended cable due to reliability.

Good luck if you're using anything without an FTDI chip.

Looks like the same cable as I have. I bought it from this seller.

I have done a lot for coding and programming with this cable. Works like a charm.

Great find. Newegg is a very reputable website. I use them all the time for computer parts and never had a problem. Shipping is usually pretty quick as well.

Only downside about this site is they rotate the stock so you might not all ways find the same product available later on.

Most of these cables are copies of each other, so they should all be using the FTDI chipset. Good price, you'll have to let everyone know if it's reliable.

I have the cable, but the laptop I got from Newegg at the same time was dead on arrival. Have to go through the whole RMA process and send it back for a replacement, so I'll be a bit delayed in reporting the results. I guess I can use this time to learn how to code the car in the first place, lol. Doesn't look all that difficult.

[smooth1]

Definitely not that difficult. Let us know how the cable works out!

Hi I am new BMW owner here and going to order this cable
Do you guys think it will work on a 64bits Macbook air?
if not, does installing Window on my mac will work too?

thanks

The cable will work just fine on a Mac, but INPA/EDIABAS/DIS/NCSEXPERT are for Windows only. You can setup Windows on your Mac in dual boot mode. If you're just trying to check/clear codes etc you can use BMWLogger for Mac.

Alright I will try and post the results...
thanks
