This is a CD image that you’ll need to either burn to a CD or extract to a folder using a tool such as ISOBuster. Install INPA/EDIABAS software Extract the contents of the downloaded file ‘INPA-6.4.3-full.rar’ and you’ll find a NRG file. Apparently a voltage fluctuation during coding could result in permanent damage to control units. I also need to get a float charger for the battery, as I've been reading it is unwise to code without having the battery hooked up to power. I'm still wondering why it only shows 2 things available for me and doesn't pick up the battery or ignition signal. It helps if you know unix, have strong proficiency in vmware, familiar with daemon tools, and a lot of patience. It took me the better part of 2 days to get it to the point it's at now. It requires a massive amount of steps performed in just the right order to make it work.

Bmw Inpa Ediabas Installation Guide Software For The Blind It's a pain downloading the stuff on the crappy share site it's on, but it does work. Got it for free from the first link Dane posted. I still have a lot of research to do on how to use DIS before I really mess with it. I got the communications working, was able to emulate the diagnostic head, and this is a 'short test' run from the diagnostic menu: 2eb76g.jpg! Next to something means it's working, x indicates a fault. I followed that method with that custom 'easydis' and it basically had done automatically a lot of the things I did manually in the version I had before. You need to install INPA/EDIABAS onto your computer first so that DIS can utilise it to send and receive commands to your car.' DIS is just a simplified platform for communicating with your car through EDIABAS. This quote helped a great deal: 'EDIABAS is BMW's diagnostic protocol (language) and INPA is an interpreter program that communicates with EDIABAS to return diagnostic data. Since I've already got DIS running, I basically just need to mimic the diagnostic head, which can be done with software in that link.

I'm getting a feel for exactly how this software works. Interesting read here may help?:dunno Really.there are a ton of threads here regarding this.
