Hey 50's kid, I'm a big fan of all your videos. Than you for all you do!

dude, you are the Bob Ross of BMW repairs. When I get angry at my tool, the BMW engineers or whatever doesnt work, I watch your video and come back to job, confident I can do this. Tks

Awesome overview, I was looking at DIS and now it's looking like INPA for me.

Great video as usual. your videos are different from most people. YOU are like a teacher, I really like the way how you present the information. I will buy a BMW one day, when I get it I will be very knowledgeable.

Thank you very much

50's kid i salute you ! your video helped me a lot i have an e39 and e53 and definetly you make my life easier

I have to stop a minute and thank you for all the information you're putting out on fixing our 'ole favorite cars and helping us keep them on the road and running smoothly. MANY thanks...!!! :)

I love what you are doing. Bless you!

Hello. First of all I want to thank you for the content you are sharing with us, well explained diy's and great video editing skills. I am about to rebuild the disa valve, as I hear a really small rattle sound inside of the intake manifold. My question is, I can use inpa to check this? Or, when the engine is runing, I can just unplug and the sound should disappear? And if so, ecu will stock an error that will remains there even if I will plug it back? Thanks!!

you're videos are very informative and you are well educated about your subjects ! I bought the Pa Soft and I'm playing with it . I got a used LCM because my turn signals , hazard and high beams didn't work . The used LCM gave me signals . Hazards but the high beams still not working ! The one thing that changed with high beams is the indicator blue light comes on now when signal switch is pushed in , anything in the LCM coding that would turn high beams off?

thank you so helpful can i use inpa software by bmw scanner cable or versa?!

What would be a good choice for activating ABS and low pressure fuel pump on an E90 2011 335d?

Hey 50's kid, thanks for all the info on the e46.

Can you also reset the seat belt light ?

If you could do a video of how you set up the drivers on your computer, that would be awesome. I got this scanner and was excited about doing some changes just to find I can’t find a driver for the actual scan tool itself. I’ve got the software ready to go, it’s the scanner that keeps saying it doesn’t have a driver for. I’m not sure if it’s something I’m doing or the software and tool isn’t any good. Mine looks just like yours but doesn’t have the sticker showing a BMW on the front. Any advice?

@50sKid they're (BMW) is using something called ISTA/D and for older models ISTA/P (used for programming mostly)

I put a new(er) transfer case actuator arm on my 2011 BMW X3. The dealer wants $2,200 to replace and reprogram. Can one of these tools reprogram it?

dealers have not used DIS for about 8 to 10 years , we use ISTA-D . for diagnosis and programming too .

Hi Jason, I need help with my e60 M5. I’m trying to determine what code 279D is, it sounds like it has to do with my electric fan final stage. But I’m not sure. I’ve read online that it could be the relay. Or some electrical problem. Here’s why I think that, I just changed my gas tank vent valve because of code 273c. I cleared the code but it came back on. I also had code 2b52, for electric transmission oil pump, I couldn’t locate the unit next to my 6 speed transmission. So I clear the code and it didn’t come back on. I talked to the part guy at the dealer he said the unit is on passenger side of the transmission I checked but didn’t see it. Now, I’m not sure what to do. The car has 93K miles. I don’t mind changing parts but when the part is changed the code should clear out but it didn’t, I’m thinking it could be an electrical problem.

Thank you for all the videos, you where very explicit of your choice on scanners; but what do you think about the AUTOPHIX BMW Diagnostic Scanner Tool ,Enhanced BMW 7910 ?

Changed the valve cover gasket on my 2007 328xi now need to reset the Vvt , which software and wire would be best thanks, great video, and what version of windows? Thank you

HI 50 kiD WHAT Scanner would you recommend for the new bmw, i have 2 x6 2011 and 2010 3.5 and 5.0, your recommendation would be greatly appreciated

Question, for the vanos. Should those numbers match up 100% exactly? Mine are off in small amounts. I can upload a video if you wouldn't mind checking.

Does the INPA "activate" section you were showing allow turning on/off the cooling fan?

Can you reset the airbag signal light with this? I just disconnected to replace the speaker and now my light is ON, or you have any idea how, please let me know!!!

What a good guy, Thank for sharing and your funny at the end of video.

which INPA scanner should i get for my car 2001 325I i noticed in yiur video you can check and control the fuel injectors

I really enjoy your videos. Have you experienced where the OBD provides power to the scanner (all lights light up once plugged in) but no data comes to the scanner? I've tried different scanners with the same experience; the lights on the scanner work (it's getting power) but it can't connect with the system to provide any information. I tested with a multimeter and get voltage at the port connections. I cleaned the ports. Still nothing. Any ideas? Really appreciate any help. Thanks!

Another that must be considered is Scan Master ELM - this one is extremely comprehensive and, best off all, GRAPHS sensor outputs so that they can be reviewed after a test drive.

Hi, I have a 2001 BMW 330i. I am told that my transmission needs to be changed because the transmission computer isn't working. By 2 BMW / German car repair shops. Is the transmission computer inside the transmission to where I have to change it or can I reprogram or purchase in transmission computer separately? I would really appreciate the help in clarifying this thank you. And thanks for your videos.

Keep up the good work man, you are saving us a fortune, maintaining these cars wouldn't be economical without people like you. I want to be out of context slightly, what's the difference between K Dcan cable with and without switch? Which is the one suitable for BMW 530d e60 2004? TIA

@50sKid

On some older cars the cable only works if two of the pins are shorted together, so it just depends on the year of car. Get the one with the switch and then you can short it or unshort it as needed

Great video bro. So I followed your guide to troubleshoot my electric fan issue as it’s not coming on. I activated the fan using the software and it comes on just fine so this indicates that it’s not a fan issue. Can you guide me what could be the culprit? I even turned the AC on and also removed the thermostat sensor wire but still no luck. It doesn’t come on unless I activate it from software. I’ll appreciate any help.

Thanks for this! We have the BMW scanner and bought a disc bc I’m computer illiterate. It will scan but after the first two lines, everything else says it’s not available. Did I install something wrong? My son is trying to diagnose the convertible top not working on his 2000 323ci. Installing the software has made me crazy. Lol

What sort of diagnostic cable and software would I use for my 2016 328i 2.0 ltr. I believe it's an f30. Base sedan.

hey what do the 7 and 8 pins look like in the cable is it a 8 pin delete model a 7 and 8 connected or 7 and 8 independent.

I got a question. I bought my e46(2000) 323i earlier this year from a guy I know in my area, it was dirt cheap cause he moved out the country for work. I want to work on my car but every time I have to remove the battery, I know theres a thing about resetting and inputting the engine code. how can I do that with little to no information. theres no manual. all I got is the title and keys.

This is so damn helpful, I got INPA working on an xp virtual machine, which I had to patch together from several sources which wouldn't work on their own. It's useful, but any information where I can get explanations of what the values mean is great.

You are awesome, keep it up man.

With the INPA software, “not sure if that’s what I heard, can you check and listen for the clicks of your transmission solenoids?

If you want to get a dcan cable, it's very important to get one with a green board. They come in green, white, and blue. The ones with the green board are so far the most reliable. My white board cable failed on me (burn marks).

Just to clear up the general confusion that surrounds the Fuel Trims: Adaptiv Fuel Trim - Low engine load - Low engine speed Multiplicative Fuel Trim - Medium engine loads - medium engine speed Both of these are long term and integrator is the short term fuel trims. As for WOT operation the engine doesn't use closed loop, but defaults to a pre-programmed map for WOT and runs the engine rich.
