Inpa, dis grief

Long story cut short I hope, let the pics do the talking . I got a cable tried install of it on a http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/10/ura6u5uz.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/10/aza7apyr.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/10/7y9u6y5y.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/10/he4yqepe.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/10/ane8amav.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/10/eqa5ara2.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/10/ju6atybe.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/10/jajebada.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/10/yhe2egej.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/10/du9y7u9u.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/10/avute3ar.jpglaptop running windows 7,vista and now on xp. No matter what I do I cannot get inpa or dis to recognise dme.some communication is accurring but nothing that you can use. I have checked latency, com ports, firewalls ect anybody any thing I could try it's starting to break me at this stage

What version of Ediabas & version of INPA are you using?

Why did you change the IP address of the PC?

What version of VMWare are you using? What are your network settings in VMWare?

Where did you get the software?

What cable are you using?

Have your installed the drivers?

Is the cabl set to K or D CAN?

What is the port setting in your ediabas.ini file?

Hi thanks for looking into it for us. I am no expert so forgive me if I don't answer in correct terms

Dis 57 inpa/ncs 3.10 v2

You lost me here, is it something I have fix or set
What version of VMWare are you using? What are your network settings in VMWare?
Version that came with the disc tried to update but wouldn't work (something to do with xp maybe) says it requires features not present on your cpu
Where did you get the software?


What cable are you using?
Usb

Have your installed the drivers?
Yea as per all instructions on disc

Is the cabl set to K or D CAN?
How and where do I check this

What is the port setting in your ediabas.ini file?

I have set every thing to com port one

I think vmware requires that your CPU supports virtualisation, perhaps this is the cause of your problems.

Thanks does that mean the computer or operating system is not suitable. I have ran the computer on both vista and xp both having same errors. Also this shouldn't affect inpa as its a separate programme yet this is also failing. Lastly is there a fix. I have spent a lot of time and it doesn't help being a stubborn. F#k er..cause all herself has seen is the back of a computer an me cursing for the past few days. It's getting to the stage something has to go me or the computer :surprised:

The computer unfortunately, though I'm still not sure if this is your problem. @[rebel.ranter] may have more on this.

I tried recently using vmware on my pc to run mac osx but had that virtualisation problem.

It may be that you need to enable virtualisation in the BIOS or simply that the CPU does not support it. What model CPU have you got?

Hi it's an old dell inspiron 6400

I also tried it on a Toshiba and a netbook all gave same issues. I am not very computer litterate so it's probably some missing link ect. I am waiting for a remote session from cable supplier in the mean time just trying to cover all base's

Well that CPU should support virtualization , check your bios settings.

This is where I get lost. firstly how do I get access and second what should I be looking for and do I change anything.
Thanks

When the computer boots up the first screen you see is the bios, it will prompt you to press a button either DEL or F1 or something to enter setup. Go through the available menus and look for virtualisation. If in doubt you can exit without saving changes and try again.

Try set everything up on Com 5 or Com 8. I've noticed done cables need to be on one if these.

What car & year of car are you using it on?

Just finished a remote session with cable supplier and instalation on computer is correct so diagnosed as faulty cable. There is a new cable on the way a bit disappointed but very impressed with customer support and overall in my eyes that's far more important, the last failure they had was 8 months ago.

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/25/ada9a7av.jpgHate leaving unfinished threads, so here's the update got the replacement cable and everything is working perfect. Running inpa and dis at the moment. Think I will stay away from the coding for the time being as I have a habit of overstretching my abilities :happy:..as far as what's running it's very comprenshive in its approach to fault diagnosis and testing, hours of messing around ahead . I got the cable from cable shack and very happy with level of customer support and the service they provide to get you up an running. A question for any one who is familiar with this in dis for fault isolation /confirmation the screens reference fuses,wires,pins ect is there a reference book to speed up procedure of doing these tasks.

Everything is slow in DIS, a lot of waiting around!

Here's a manual for DIS:

Ok just got INPA/ediabas installed in my laptop (win7 x64)
It works but can only detect the DME, all other modules have a communication error( I can't remember the code something 003 I think )

Any ideas? Car is 2000 E46.
I'm guessing it's how the cable is configured. How do I switch from K to Dcan and vise versa?

I am using com4 as per install instruction with matching com4 entry in ediabas.ini

When it.comes to computers I can just about manage on and off buttons :wink:.when I got the replacement cable (cable shack) everything worked a treat. As for advise all i did was follow instructions on.disc. I can check settings but I am running xp with all Internet capability virus protection and firewalls off.
From my very limited knowledge there are sometimes 2 diagnostic ports on cars of that era has this anything to do with it. (there's only the one under the steering wheel on.mine)

My E46 is post mid-2000 update so I have only the 16pin obd port under the steering wheel.
I'll try again tomorrow using com1 but it's a bit odd that I can do anything with the DME also can read cd changer I-bus info but everything else I can't communicate with.
I hate computers.

@[rebel.ranter] I read your thread on driver and see that you mention the dcan adapter for backwards compatibility with kkl cars, could this be my issue since my car is year 2000?

Pin 8 is present:

Hi, I'll have to refresh my own memory about Pin 8, I'm 95% sure that older cars like the e46 need pin 8 to be disconnected. Newer cars need pin 8 active (pin 7 & 8 connected).
You can use a K+D CAN cable on an e46. There is a little utility that you can use to switch between K CAN, D CAN & off. I have a link to it on a few forums just google me & K's can utility.
I find that these interfaces work best on Com 5, maybe it's just me!

Oh, if the internals of the OBD cable have a white PCB then signs are that it is a poor quality cable. The ones with a green PCB are better made. Do a bit of searching to be sure. However if it works, then it works so don't get too caught up with that.

Thanks for the super quick reply!
I just read through your old thread on driver and it seems I need the adapter or pin 8 connected.
I ran that utility and set it to k-can but it times out and reverts back when connected again. I presume it'll save settings once connected to the car?

To run the utility you need to do it within a minute or two of plugging the lead in to the OBD connector. Running the utility at any other time will not do anything.

All sorted now, I joined pin 7&8 and now can connect to all modules. Thanks for the help @[rebel.ranter]

Two last questions:

Where in inpa(5.0.1) will I find which of my brake pad sensors is causing the light on my dash?

Also is there a diagnose all modules function? Rather than diagnosing each module at a time.

The light in the dash for the brake pads is a simple sensor, there's no connection to it. To turn it off you have to replace the sensor. (Well technically you could also code out the sensor but that would be pointless!).

There is no "test all modules" function in INPA, you need to use DIS for,that. However by the time you start up DIS, run through a "Quick Test", you would nearly have picked out all the relevant modules for your car. Having said all that I still prefer DIS for diagnostics for the step by step approach to troubleshooting in it.

Grand thanks for clearing that up.
