Generic Ebay Scan Tool? To good to be true?
So looking at the BT tool and seeing the price, I decided to search around before dropping in on one. I came up on something like this and I have a couple questions.
Ebay Tool Would this do the same functions as the BT tool? Clear codes, register battery, ect. ect? Also are all these cables the same configuration? If you get this cable but use a different software, would it work? I'm afraid the answer to these questions will have me buying a BT tool, but I want to be sure and see if anyone has used these with success. thanks

I got one and they work (sorta)
I could get DIS57 working but not Progman it says I don't
have the right Diag Head even though I have the Diag head simultor working on DIS57. Also be aware that if you have a car built after 3/07 you will need a Dcan or Dcan plus Kcan cable. You need a 32 bit operating system or a virtual xp mode for windows 7 which means you need the pro or ultimate version of Win 7. DIS57 will run on Win 7 64 bit home with vmware. This takes lots of disk space you need a spare 50 to 60 gigs to be safe. Yes the cable works with all versions of inpa edibas and ncsexpert. I have run DIS57 and got diag readouts and recoded some things in my 06 with this setup.(using ncsexpert) Setting up the software is a little time consuming.(for DIS57) The one I got, did not have and up to date version of inpa edibas and ncsexpert but the guy I got it from provided a download link with updated software. I got the 6.4.7 and 5.02 version on the download . The downloads from coding board are also good. 'This thread needs to be in the coding subforum'. I got mine from one of the English vendors if you notice on there picture of the inpa screen e90 is not displayed. So I would ask for an 6.4.7 and 5.02 inpa edbiabas disk with your order.

I have it working on two machines(sorta)
I had to buy a new hard disk for my old computer as it only had 80 gigs
and was half full already when I put everthing but TIS on it there was only 7 gigs left . I got a 160gb for about 60 bucks on ebay. I have plenty of room on my new machine but it won't run ncsexpert except on the virtual xp machine. And the software has to be installed on that virtual machine. mine car is a 325xi wagon so far I have coded the windows up on lock and the no air conditioner on with the auto mode. I strongly recommended you go to the coding subforum here and read the big thread so you can avoid any mistakes. The one to look out for is the recoding of the Kombi module for digital speed readout or anything in the kombi module. http://www.e90post.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=368 Last edited by ctuna; 02-02-2012 at 06:22 PM.. |
