BMW DIS GT1 v44 Diag Tool install and setup tutorial with ADS cable, BMW E36 M50 Non-Vanos DME 3.1

This tutorial is only for ADS(OBD1) interface with RS232 cable, NOT OBD2.
All needed resources can be found through Google but please make sure to use versions presented in the video otherwise it will not work.
This is a complete step-by-step install and setup tutorial for DIS GT1 diagnostic tool (BMW Diagnosis Software for older models like E30/E36/E34/etc).
Tested on E36 1991 M50 Non-Vanos engine, DME 3.1 (the one that can't be diagnosed with INPA).
Some parts of the video were sped-up or cut due to waiting times.
SSD install time: ~40 minutes, HDD install time: ~90-120 minutes
Warning: This tutorial does not work on all configurations, 2/5 different configs worked.
I recommend a PC with SSD from 2010-2011 with RS232 port or RS232 PCI Card, running Windows XP and VmWare v5.5 with Ediabas v6.4.3.
Pro-tip: If this tutorial works, go to C: then My Documents then My Virtual Machines. You'll find your VM there. Save it on a 2nd PC or flash drive. If something happens and DIS doesn't work anymore you can just replace the VM with the one that worked and launch it manually from VMWare.

    Follow the video step by step and it will work if there are no hardware issues with your PC. Make sure to use the exact software versions as shown in the video and Windows XP x32/x86bit. Good luck!

    @@alexandrefisterra1720 you need to buy an ADS cable from Amazon, homemade wont work(converted from another brand for example or multibrand) and OBD2 cable converted to ADS with OBD1 adaptor also wont work. And no, INPA usually works on E36 from 1996 and up.

    @@azrael3203 You're a master, i got it working with your setting, the problemas was in the homemade interface i forgot to conect one positive wire in one transistor. DIS v44 can read the errors and identify the DDE in 1992 e36 td car, and say that is a e34 m51 tds (i change the ecu so it's correct) but INPA can`t conect. Thanks for the video!!! MASTER

    Hi, I have done everything the same way you did but I can’t read any data from the car. I see on the interface that it reads ads and ignition is on. Can’t figure out why Dis can’t read the data

    There are a lot of possible causes including that DIS doesnt like your computer configuration. You need to check if your ADS interface is available in DIS and do a connection test in DIS. Other than that: - set Signal power in DiagHead to 100% - launch ifhsrv as administrator prior to launching VmWare and also make sure that ediabas.bin has the correct ip adresses written - make sure that in DIS you have Fister set as Translator (21:25) - make sure you have all DIS services set correctly (21:03) - your computer(windows) has reserved COM1 for other applications (common issue for most computers) and in that case i just used another PC - make sure that the COM ports are enabled in BIOS and are correctly configured for baud rate and bits, and COM1 is not reserved (some BIOS versions let you select COM1 as user default instead of letting Windows manage it) There is a lot of debugging to be done. That is why i said in the description that it does not work on all configs since i had a lot of issues with different configs that i had built. Eventually i made it work on 2 configs out of 5. If you can, use another PC, install everything step by step using this video and see if you have the same issue. I can understand the frustration, it took me 4 weeks of trial and error to make it work and find all the resources that i needed, build mutiple PC’s and see what works and what doesn’t.

    That's not a problem. There are no errors stored on DME (if there were any errors you should see them in Read fault memory) . I guess 131ms is the default value for an M50 NV that's IDLE; my engine runs perfectly.

    How long does the installation of the DIS Programs usually take? for me it just loops the XXXXXXX loading screen for a very long time (20:18 Timestamp) For anyone curious: it took almost an hour.

    It should work if everything is set as in the video. The identification process after selecting a model is faster if the PC has good specs and your car has EWS(built after 1995 or 1996 depending on model).

    Haven't used it for coding. My car still has the same factory options. It should work but i am not entirely sure how to do it since i didn't need it. I used it only for reading faults and reading live data. But then again, it should work for coding too.

    Does it also work without vm ware?

  • @azrael3203

    @azrael3203

    3 ай бұрын

    No. You need the ediabas and ifhsrv to make the VM communicate with the DME through Windows device management. The system is based on Unix. You would need a special device on which to install it and use it. This software is made for a dealership device not a regular PC. Feel free to experiment but this is a old software and doesnt support common PC hardware. You can see that the UI is made for a touchscreen and the device was most likely built specifically for BMW following certain system requirements. The device which had this OS was probably built by BOSCH or Siemens when it was made and was available just for dealerships and end-of-line(when car is completely assembled) changes and checks.

    @@pascalschutt3201 Yes, i have tried installing on a secondary W7 PC to have a backup. It doesnt work on W7. I bought a secondary 128gb SSD just for DIS to swap the main SSD with the DIS one . That's the best workaround. Also, the PC should fully support Windows XP, which means a PC config that's not newer than 2011-2012. I made multiple builds until i managed to make everything work as it should. Maybe there are other workarounds but i got tired after 3 weeks of building PCs, debugging, setting everything and checking if it works.
