I have a small problem. I have the Bimmergeek's software installed and I seem to be able to connect to the car (2010 325i E97) but I can't download the vin either in NCS Expert or in INPA. In INPA I get both battery & Ignition "spots" in black but the cable seems to drop the connection after a while & the Ignition one goes out.

Error typically:

Error in EDIABAS or in SG description file IFH-0003: Data transmission HOST/Interface CAS disrupted

Error COAPI4.CPP coapiReadOrder 4
[14:56:21.960] [2022-01-20] [SERIES] Error in EDIABAS or in SG description file FA_READ: A_E65CAS

That looks like a communications issue to me. Anyone know how to test the K+DCAN cable ? I have one off E-Bay which CLAIMS to be INPA compatible but I seem to have the com port set up on Windoze fine (although I am going to do a clean re-install in case it is messed up somehow). Failing that, anyone Cambs / Beds way have a known good cable we could test against ?

I am goingto crack this EVENTUALLY :-)
