Oct 14, 2015 Here is the coding example using BMW scanner. What you need: A cheap BMW V1.4.0 cable with PA-soft software (some models, like E46 may need 20-pin to 16-pin round connector as well) A laptop running Win XP or Win 7 64 bit O/S. Procedure: 1) Plug the BMW scanner V1.4.0 into your vehicle’s OBD-II port and ensure that the system detects the cable. BMW Scanner 1.4.0 can be downloaded from our website for free. BMW Scanner lies within System Utilities, more precisely Device Assistants. This program is an intellectual property of P.A.Soft Group. The following versions: 1.4, 1.3 and 1.2 are the most frequently downloaded ones by the program users. Mar 11, 2015 I loaded the software on an old Dell laptop running XP SP3 and it works just great. My car is a 2000 with the round under-hood 'Pac Man' connector. The PA Soft device MUST be hooked up via an adapter cable ($7) to it. Connecting the PA Soft device to the OBD port under the dash results in only reading engine codes.
Every mechanic wants to freely download car diagnostic software from the Web. Last night, a new mechanic friend of mine called and said his BMW Scanner V1.4.0 CD was damaged and the software therefore could not work.
