DescriptionInpa software collection does conflict with some other diagnostic software like Vida Dice (Volvo) etc.So to avoid software miss-function, working Virtualbox image was created.All the software and tools you might need for coding and flashing a BMW, are pre installed and configured in a Virtualbox image.
Apr 21, 2017 - ICOM cable WinKFP update/flash a BMW ECU. ECU using WinKFP via a INPA K+DCAN cable ( some also called it ICOM cable).
The BMW Diagnostic Software will help you troubleshoot theproblems that can usually be fixed by the garage which will charge you atons of $$$. Here I will recommend you several BMW diagnostic software,hope it helps you.–One of them is INPA K+DCAN USB cable which mainly works on BMW E-series.INPA (interpreter for test procedures) is older factory floordiagnostic software, designed to run test procedures. It is the easiesttool to use for E series BMW vehicles. With this software you will beable to read / erase errors of all modules, perform tests (turbo etc.),reset adaptations and view live engine data.
All you need for E seriesdiagnosis is this software and a K+DCAN cable for BMW coding.–The best and most complete with schematics and lots of tests BMW diagnostic software is software called RheingoldRheingold (aka ISTA/D) is current dealership diagnostic software for all Exx and Fxx cars.ISTA/D is the replacement for DIS diagnostic software. Likewise, ISTA/P is the replacement for SSS programming software.ISTA/P & ISTA/D are designed to be used with an ICOM Interface, and with full ICOM A2+B+C, you can connect to older cars.You can find versions of ISTA/D with an ICOM Emulator builtin thatallows you to use it with an ENET Interface for Fxx cars and a DCANInterface for Exx cars.Between the two, Rheingold is simply a better option. It has a moderninterface, and is complete in that it does not require additional TestProcedures.
You can have ISTA/P & ISTA/D installed on laptop asideINPA, WinKFP, and INPA without any issues.BMW DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS NEEDED:K+DCAN Cable for BMW E series coding and diagnosticsBMW ENET Cable for F series coding and diagnostics:HOW TO USE BMW INPA:If you made all the settings according to the instructions (set theport to COM1 and the latency to 1ms) you should see the two blackcircles in INPA which means you have a connection to the car and you canuse the software for diagnostics, adaptations, coding etc. The softwarethat contains INPA has three folders (INPA, NCS EXPERT and EDIABAS).Ediabas is basicly the core that makes all the other software work andNCS EXPERT is used for coding E series cars.So if you have a connection to the car you can start using it bychoosing the chassis and that will bring up a window where you will haveto choose the module that you want to perform diagnostics on. Chooseany module you want and it will show you the inner corresponding ECUmenu where you can read and erase errors and make/erase adaptations.There is much more to be said about INPA, I guess a complete guidewould take months to make but once you get used to it it’s really easyto use.
Although the down side is that because the latest data files areavailable only in German, most of the software inner menus will be inGerman and you’ll have to use google translate to understand it, that’swhy the Rheingold ISTAD software is priceless when it comes to BMWdiagnostics. This blog is a step-by-step guide for BMW E46 DME Update DIY by WinKFP. First to download BMW INPA EDIABASWinKFP BMW Coding Tool NCS Expert all programs you need!How to update BMW DME Module using WinKFP easily?Tool needed:or cheap INPA K+DCAN CableBefore you start, you should firstly import the daten files cirrectly! Or the update will be fail.Check below case:I have run into an issue after installing WinKFP 5.3.1I have INPA running ok, import the SGDA (.IPO files), ECU (.PRG files)and assembly line data. After choosing “Comfort Mode” - “UpdateZUSB”, there is nothing on the “ECU family”. It’s empty.Do I import the files incorrectly? Any solution please?Solution 1.
You can use WinKFP Tool to import the daten files. Here is a guide for your checking.2. You can also import daten files via BMW coding tool. This is customer share about how to use WinKFP to update BMW CIC module and how to generate BMW CIC& NBT FSC Code with ENET cable.Disclaimer: You are on your own risk.PRE STEPS: In the E87 DATEN folder, make sure to swap out the fileCI63F1 from the E87 Folder. Then Load assembly line data into WINKFP (atfirst WINKFP should be setup for STD:OBD connection so you can do thispart without having to connect to the car or ICOM).Following steps:0 – Move Car Key to position 11 – Connect to any available MOST (fiber optic) Connector.
Connect the USB cable between it and the ICOM module.2 – Connect OBD connector to ICOM Module.3 – Connect ICOM to Laptop via Ethernet cable.4 – Start up Itool Radar and Reserve the ICOM slot.
