How to install BMW Scanner 1.4.0 on Win 7

Most owners have no issue installing BMW Scanner 1.4.0 software PA Soft on XP system. But when it comes to Win 7 system, some people are having quite a bit of trouble installing the BMW diagnostic tool on the 64bit side, even though there are already threads telling them how. Well, after reading through many of them, I noticed that the threads only provide partial instructions, instructions even myself, an expert (on a scale between novice, advanced, expert, master) computer user struggled, that is for a few hours. It did make my head boggle up though. So here it is ladies and gents.

Go ahead and install the BMW scanner software. After you're done, plug the scanner into your OBD2 port, without having it plugged into your computer. Wait like 5 seconds (not 100% you even need to wait the 5 sec). Then, plug it in. Your computer will try several things. It'll attempt to find the driver and succeed, or not. It does not matter.
Go to http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm and scroll down to the box with listing of drivers of different operating systems. Since we are doing windows, I am only covering that. The 1st row shows windows. All the way at the right hand side, under comments, you will see "setup executable". You can download the drivers themselves but this thing does it all for you. It is much easier. Install it once downloaded. A black DOS like window pops up and installs it. The box usually disappears in like 5 seconds.
Once done, go to control panel, then device manager and right click on BMW scanner (usually under other devices) to select update driver software.
Select the option "Browse my computer for driver software". Then pick let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer. Select towards the bottom "Universal serial bus controllers. Look for FTDI on the next screen, on the left hand side under manufacturer. When you click on it, to the right, select USB Serial Converter. Then click next. A message will pop up saying armageddon will reign down upon you and your computer if you install this and it isn't compatible. I decided to go for it and take the risk. Once installed, open up your BMW scanner software and start messing with all your options.
I have tried this on windows 7home premium 64 bit, as well as windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. It worked for me, it might work for you. Have fun!

ELM327 VS JLR Mangoose VS Mangoose Pro

I start Jaguar DIY repairs 3 years ago and have experience of tools at 3 levels – ELM327 scanner, JLR Mangoose cable and latest Mangoose Pro. The first 2 are aimed at the budget DIY end of the market; the 3rd level (until now) being at the professional tool and expensive end of the market. Here is how I now see it:
ELM327 Bluetooth scanner, the most basic OBDII tool, is great for reporting DTCs (just like the S-Types on-board ETM). In addition, it is able to work on anything beyond the P codes, clear these and reset CEL etc.
Next come to the V131 to V138 JLR Mangoose cables. A real Mongoose costs thousands; the clone Mangoose only costs less than $50 on Aobd2shop. The JLR Mangoose cable is a combination of cable for connecting the cars OBDII port with a USB equipped laptop with a total diagnostic and programming software package. By far it works perfect, can do everything I need. Until very recently, even as the software version has extended from V131 to V138, reliable operation seems dependent on solely Win XP and I have to install it under XP mode in Win7 system.
Now comes the latest 2014 version of JLR Mangoose Pro ... along with an explosion of YouTube clips to lead us through software installation and use. This version broadens the o/s options to Vista and Win7 and is now fully functional on a wide range of Jaguar models from 1999 to 2014. It can be purchased for less than US$90 from V138 JLR Mangoose Pro.

$33 Mini VCI Cable with Techstream Software

There is a $33 2014 Mini VCI cable that comes with Techstream software and drivers that let me check/change a number of variables in my Lexus. I am not a vendor, nor affiliated in any way - just purchased it off the web after reading several references to it while researching AHC threads here in Mud. It has been extensively discussed on Tundra Net (search TechStream software and cable for $35). If anyone is interested in it, learning more:

This weekend I used it to:
A. Read AHC pressures to correctly crank TBs (4 turns, both sides on original set up) - front pressures now at nominal spec and confirmed rear springs are a little tired as rear AHC pressure just outside range. A valid pressure test removes a lot of speculation and blind cranking of TBs on AHC vehicles. And yes, based on hitting my local calibrated speed hump at 30 mph it does dampen better with the correct TB/front pressure loading.
B. Reset steering angle sensor to get rid of annoying 10 degree off centered wheel. Not sure how many alignment places reset the SAS as a matter of course, or if you don't ask for it specifically. I know my local Firestone does a reasonable alignment in that the truck drives straight, equal turning effort and no uneven tire wear - but the wheel was never centered properly. Only time I had it aligned at the stealer they charged an extra $10, on top of the $129, to reset the SAS.
C. Verified yaw and zero yaw sensor values were set to "0.
D. Turn off the 3s delayed wipe after using windshield washer.
E. Turn on "unlock all doors" with one push on remote (already had manually set lock/unlock on shifting from "P").
F. Adjusted headlight off and interior light delays.
G. ran "vehicle health check" and OBDII live tests to monitor O2 sensor voltages among other things, and won't be buying replacement sensors (still original) now. No DTC or MIL, it is just that some say 02s need to be replaced as a PM item, and others don't feel the same way. So until I get a DTC I'll leave them alone.
I have not used TechStream from the TIS site so cannot compare or comment on features and functions of the "official" software to what comes on the mini CD (V9.30.002 cracked), but I am happy. Just changing the remote unlock and centering the wheel was worth $33 to me! Still learning what can and cannot be done, what utility/test features are enabled and what's not, and what all the data means.The obd2 tool you can try.

Powerful Diesel Truck Diagnostic Tool

As a truck owner, you may be very familiar with NEXIQ 125032 truck diagnostic tool, I am no exception. While I just know more information about this gadget, such as function, feature and more, actually I never use it by myself.

I work for a factory that I need to carry goods shuttling back and forth three or more factories every day. And now the truck has something wrong with engine which happened from time to time. It must be high cost when repair on workshop, so I decided to do it myself with much favorable NEXIQ 125032 diesel truck interface.

NEXIQ is a PC-to-vehicle interface, when connected; I tried to find the problem on engine. It cuts time to get access to vehicle data via USB cable. It surpasses what I actually imagined previously. Additionally, the device can also be compatible with other applications, such as transmission, ABS, Instrument panels and more.

What's more, NEXIA 125032 is available for 18 kinds of software, which means that you can use to work on most brands of truck, like Cummins, Toyota, Volvo and so on. I dare not to assert that other functions I never try also works very well. But its powerful functions, wide car models and also protocols will promote comprehensive usage.

Any information you provided would be much appreciated, and I will continuously post new information if I have new findings in the following days.

(Solved) Volvo Vida 2013D won't connect to car

Last week, a customer told me that his Volvo Vida Dice 2013D would not connect to his Volvo properly. Below is a screenshot of the error message from his Vida software:

According to the picture, I could determine that the problem was caused by failed Volvo Vida software installation. Why I say so? There are three reasons:

1. As we can see, the information under “Communication tool” is not displayed successfully, while information in other parts is shown alright. If there is no device information in the form, it likely indicates that the software is not well installed.

2.The Interface Test function does not work for all Volvo Vida Dice devices. Therefore the test result ”TEST NOT OK” is not reliable.

3.If the software is installed well, there will be device information in "Communication tool" even if the Vida device does not connect the PC, as shown in picture below. In other words, when the device information is not displayed, users should try to reinstall the software.

I told the customer to uninstall his Vida software and reinstall it. After that his Vida could work properly.The obd2 tool so good.

DTC P1810 – Why it comes up and how to fix it?

Recently my friend took complete motor and transmission from an old car to his Chevrolet Impala as the harness and PCM on his Impala was damaged. Then he got 2 P1810 codes. He tried to clear the codes with GM Tech2 diagnostic scanner but the codes returned after 2-3 engine starts, or after sitting for while. Then he came to me for help.

DTC P1810 indicates to (Transmission Fluid Pressure) TFP Valve Switch Malfunction, which means there could be problems related to TFP valve switch. To find out the issue, let us have a look at the TFP valve switch circuit and PCM description:
The automatic transmission fluid pressure (TFP) manual valve position switch consists of five pressure switches (two normally-closed and three normally-open) and a transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor combined into one unit. The combined unit mounts on the valve body.
The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies ignition voltage for each range signal. By grounding one or more of the circuits through various combinations of the pressure switches, the PCM detects which manual valve position you select. The PCM compares the actual voltage combination of the switches to a TFP manual valve position switch combination table stored in memory.
The TFP manual valve position switch cannot distinguish between PARK and NEUTRAL because the monitored valve body pressures are identical. With the engine OFF and the ignition switch in the RUN position, the TFP manual valve position switch indicates PARK or NEUTRAL. Disconnecting the AT inline 20-way connector removes the ground potential for the three range signals to the PCM. In this case, with the engine OFF, and the ignition switch in the RUN position, D2 will be indicated.
When the PCM detects an invalid state of the TFP manual valve position switch circuit by deciphering the TFP manual valve position switch inputs, then DTC P1810 sets. DTC P1810 is a type B DTC.
The P1810 error code usually comes up in several situations:
No VSS assembly DTCs P0502 or P0503.
The system voltage is 8-18 volts.
The engine speed is greater than 450 RPM for 5 seconds.
The engine is not in fuel cutoff.
The engine torque is 50-450 lb ft.
The engine vacuum is 0-105 kPa.
Now let us go down to business and find out how to fix the P1810 problem.
First of all, per0form Powertrain Diagnostic System check.
Then go to a Powertrain On Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check in Engine Controls.
Check transmission fluid level.
Take out GM Tech2 scanner.
Turn ON the car ignition, with the engine OFF.

About its quality and ability, the tool seems solid. It is a lot cheaper than the original product but works well as well.

BMW 335i key will not work, what to do?

Hi, Apple,
My friend recommended you to me. There is something wrong with my E90 key, hopefully you can help me with it. So here is the thing, I bought a BMW 335i second hand recently, which came with one key which was not remote control. It is an original key ordered in the dealer but it cannot open the car. The dealer told me that the CAS module is not from that car. What can I do? Below is a pic of the key. I just want to open the car with the remote control. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Kim
Dear Kim,
It seems the CAS unit was replaced in your car. If so the money you paid to dealer is now wasted. You need a new key that fits your CAS. You need to by a blank key, and then you will need to borrow or buy a BMW key programmer or cable called BMW Multi Tool or other similar tools to add your virgin key to CAS EEPROM. Or you can find someone who has the tool to make a new key for you.
By the way, it seems that key in your photo is a valet key, which means possibly your car can be opened by someone else. You will also need to disable the old or lost keys.

3 traps should notice when repairing your car

What is really a headache for the comprehensive car owners? It is that you are fooled when repairing your car is a 4S shop, what's worse, you don't really get it but to compliment good maintenance technology. And now, it is a prevailing trend that most car owners try to do it themselves by using some reliable tools, such as auto diagnostic tools.
What's more, owing some kinds of basic tools will, to a great extent, save you much trouble when emergency happen. And we cannot expect a tool for solving all problems, but at least, we can avoid that whatever happened in your car all need repairing in the garage.
Why the idea occurred to me? It happened to me and let me felt so angry. What happened to me can be simply classified into 3 traps.
1. "High" hourly wage
Previously, I drove my car to a local 4S shop owing to some of small problems caused by neglect of maintenance. It charged me very high fee as I expected before, much importance of all, I did not feel any great change in my car. Finally, I ask for a maintenance record, but they cannot issue. Although it was charged on the basis of hourly wage, you have right to refuse payment for the reason listed above.
2. "Misdiagnosis"--- get more accessories replaced
"Misdiagnosis" is a common thing that the staff tries every measure to get your part replaced regardless of bad ones or new ones. You must pay more attention to their operation when repairing.
3. Substitute bad for good
One day, I drove my car to a 4S shop for adding engine oil. I forgot to bring something at the supermarket that I bought before. But when I came back, I found that the staff replaced my oil with bad one and charged me high fee.
There only several traps I found, but only exist more, so to be careful when repairing. If possible, you can try to use car diagnostic tool. And I know that a obd2 shop provides a full series of car related tools, which I bought for many times and turned out to be great.

How to solve link dead of GDS VCI diagnostic tool for Hyundai?

I have recently purchased clone GDS VCI auto diagnostic tool for Hyundai and Kia with the newest software version V15. I have posted it to linked to my laptop (I was allowed to only install on Win XP operating system and Local Disc C:/ require at least 30 GB free space) to the obd2 connector with the DVD. In this case, the DVD can help me store the GDS software on any laptop according to the manual. But my only result was to find there was no GDS link during the process.

I have an old school mate who used to master tech at Hyundai, but I felt embarrassed to tap him up because we have not met each other for over 10 years. I had to seek technical support of aobd2shop (where mine from). The engineer gave me responses immediately.
I first need to start up disc to get the basic software installed. Then I need the misc disc as called out when it goes to the Internet update to bring the work up to update. I have that disc saved on my Dell 360 and get it worked on the Win XP system. After that, I need the GDS VCI @ approx $2000 and a dealer code (NDA001) to update online when the GDS program opened and pinged the internet server for version check. Next, I was required to download updates as they come down the pike. Finally, they'll decide whether another DVD disc is needed or not and then do update again automatically.
LOL, it just worked. So far, GDS VCI obd2 diagnostic tool was able to do perfect diagnosis for my Hyundai. It is a good purchase.

"Device not in use" MB Star Connect Compact C4 2014.05 diagnostic tool

I just got myself a 2014.05 MB Star Connect Compact C4 Benz diagnostic tool with Spanish version. However, I came across some problem when hooked it up to diagnose.
First, I posted it to diagnose my car. When I connected the C4 multiplexer to the Dell 360 by using the external software HDD with VMware player, the multiplexer displayed "Device not in use." But the multiplexer green light did turn on. I tried to connect the C4 to my Dell 360with network cable, but there was no connection at all. The SD card slot was empty. Then I connected through wireless communication, no WLAN on the external software HDD. Then I carried it out to do truck diagnose, failed again.


An error fault (1.1)-1.501.9887 note popped out with three possible causes:
1 The link between the diagnosis multiplexer and the diagnostic socket is interrupted.
2 The link between the diagnosis multiplexer and the diagnostic unit is interrupted
3 The voltage supply at the diagnostic socket (circuit 30 and (or) circuit 32) is faulty

I quickly seek help to the technical support of the a obd2 shop (where I buy the MB SD C4). The engineer analyzed the problem due to the third cause. I was suggested to reset the IP address in Windows XP network connection. Because SD is using static IP address hence I need to change the IP in order to carry out wireless connection.
I did follow their instructions. The SD icon showed number 5 with an open padlock. Xentry and DAS software worked well immediately. Go so far as to multiplexer took me more time to display nice. Although met tiny problem, overall I still recommended MB Star C4 Benz diagnostic tool.

Buy a Clone US$23 2010 V OP-Com Can OBD2 Opel Firmware V1.45

My husband just had a Vivaro 2002. He was badly in need of a auto diagnostic tool for the car. My father got him an OP-Com 2010 V Opel Firmware V1.45 diagnostic tool. The package came at my door yesterday. He told secretly it was a clone one. I was afraid my old father was being knocked off. Big surprise! He already knew it was clone. He ordered one for himself four months ago in an OBD2 scanner dealer aobd2shop for only US$23 without shipping fee.

We were shocked how can that cheap. He did some research work before purchasing the unit. He found the gadget on ebay seemed to be about US$ 40,and US$100 from other shops for some reason. He had no idea whether they are original or not. At beginning he was upset when received the clone one. Soon he was cheerful after the unit worked successfully on his Tigra 1996. Knowing I just own a Vivaro, he cannot wait get me one because Op-com covers almost all opel cars.

My clone one came with the software version 2010.08 and firmware version 1.45. My father warned us that the unit should be only worked on Windows XP system. When run the software and programming, any anti-virus system must be closed. Otherwise the software would be damaged. So far, it can project perfectly basic diagnostic for my car.

If clone can do exactly what original one do, than why have to pay more than 10 prices to get a original one.I like OP-Com 2010 V Opel Firmware V1.45 diagnostic tool.

After Adobe reader 8 finish setup, select the computer type. Last step is to install visual C++2008.It seemed quite easy but it did not work at all.

He quickly contacted www.aobd2shop.com for tech support. The dealer reminded him that Hyundai and Kia software can not be installed in one computer. He suddenly remembered he had install software for his Kia. That is to say, I can not install my Hyundai software into his laptop. Things got very easy when uninstalled the previous Kia software.

I was highly recommended to get one. But I still can not make up my mind because it has only English version which takes me some time to figure out.The obd2 tool you can try.

I got a V1.45 VCS Vehicle Communication Scanner interface

I purchased a VCS vehicle communication scanner interface with the new software version 1.45 last week. Here is my personal experience with it.

I found the device was quite easy to install. According to the user manual, I was warned to close all anti-virus software on my win XP system before installing the device. I first copied VCS interface program from CD to local disk C and put it inside new folder.SVDI VAG Then I sent PC-VCS to the desktop shortcut. I connected the interface to my computer thru USB port while found out the driver. The gadget installed the program automatically. The process passed without a hitch.

So far, I have tested it to do basic diagnostic, read control modules, display live data and detect ECMs. I did idle speed self learning function which specialized for my Infiniti (also Nissan) as well. As for other futures like: accessing to Power train, Chassis and Body system; activating component level and system level; resetting and clearing adaptations, calibrations and service functions I have got opportunity to test yet.

But there still something made me a little disappointed it that the device is not compatible with Bluetooth function. Hope it will improve in the near future.And this obd2 tool is so good.

It is stored with ARM CPU inside, SMD chip, and certified by CE and FCC. I can use it to upgrade the firmware via the internet to improve the device. MINI VCI so good.

Review on Volvo VCADS Pro 2.40 Software Installation

I owned a Volvo FH 16. Like many other car owners, I also meet Volvo VCADS Pro 2.40 software installation problem. I bought one from China and the dealer offered me the solutions. I am glad to share my experience to those who are eager to solve this problem.

I met the following questions and solutions are followed, wish it helps you!
1. When you install the Volvo VCADS Pro 2.40 software, after put in the user name and password, show error: "This user is not authorized to run this soft on this PC. Contact your local administrator."
Solution: Please open the .txt file "How to use" and copy the ID number to the blank box under "User ID", input nothing after "Password", click "connectivity options" and tick before "Work offline", finally click "OK". For more details, please watch the video demo in the CD.



2. You may also meet Volvo VCADS Pro 2.40 "ERROR 10104Communication problem with control unit or vehicle, No connection through the USB cable at all.", how to solve?

Solution:
It is the COM PORT setting problem, your computer COM PORT should be set as the same as the software COM PORT. Watch video: http://youtu.be/OyBmhS6f1BM
3. Volvo VCADS has no USB cable, how to connect with the car?
Solution: Volvo VCADS Pro 2.40 truck diagnostic tool has no USB cable, but it has COM cable. Please input the computer COM port and communicate with the computer. Your computer need have COM port, or using USB to Com port adapter (RS 232).
4. To install, run the iso file virtually with daemon tools or just burn it to a CD (virtually is quicker).
NOTE: Make sure your computer system is Windows XP Professional and then install IIS.

Tacho Pro 2008: A Painful Awakening

I planned on selling my 10 year-old car in order to purchase an automatic washing machine for my wife to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. I decided to lower the mileage for a better price. I bought a mileage programmer for US﹩186 from Canada, However, I found I was deceived in this business deal. The device has not once read accurately on my eeprom or OBD2. It always shown the same current mileage and can not be changed any longer. I never tried to communicate with my car successfully. It is completely made me upset.

My neighbor borrowed his Tacho Pro 2008 July Dash Programmer to have a try. IT JIUST WORKS!!! He bought it on the Internet for a cheaper price US﹩164 from China. He told me that Tacho Pro 2008 July Dash Programmer is the most pinup programming device for digital speedometers. The obd2 tool is fully compatible with different car model and has a whole set of cables. It is very flexible and easy to operate. Some outstanding features can properly explain the reason why he appreciates it so much.

Programming without removing the cluster
Programming the EEPROM by clip
Programming by soldering contacts on the circuit board
Processor direct programming
Supports multiple language
No token needed.
…
This for his kindness and the Tacho Pro 2008. Anyhow, Happy anniversary!!!

"Undesirable" Super OBD SKP-900 Key Programmer

My husband bought one Super OBD SKP-900 Key Programmer V2.5 for USD 880 which annoyed me petty much. We neatly got a fight for this matter. I would rather spend that money on what is actually worth purchasing. Until that accident did I changed my point of view to this luxurious gadget.

Once I drove to visit my friend. I found my car key was missing when I planed to back home. My friend's naughty boy threw my key into trash can and it was taken by the garbage truck. My husband hurried to give me a hand after receiving my phone call. He took the SKP-900 handheld key programmer to make new key. He also did an update by the way. The incredible rapid update was beyond my imagination. Just need to register on online with the dealer Code 1001. Besides, it does not need pincode when programming key for my Land Rover.
I was persuaded that SKP-900 is a professional key programmer supporting almost all vehicles in the world, especially works for Land Rover. What's more, no token needed for the device. In a nutshell, my husband and the obd2 tool conquered me entirely. Its function makes compensation for its value.
