For the detail information please check this article:Install BMW INPA software on Win XP

BMW INPA Window 7/8 Installation Guide:

STEP 1: INSTALLING BMW STANDARD TOOLS

Download and install BST 212

Since BST (BMW Standard Tools) was designed for Win XP 32bit operating Systems, users have faced issues with tools like WinKFP and NCSExpert since Win 7 64bit systems have been introduced. Running in XP compatibility mode just wasn’t enough. Presenting you with several errors or not running at all. Only solution was to install on a XP system or like me… XP VMware. Well that all changed with BST 2.12 which works on 32 or 64bit systems.

WIN 7/8, 32/64bit OS

STEP 2: INSTALLING INPA software

(will need it after coding certain modules such as DME for CAS or EWS Alignment)

Download and install my version of INPA 5.06 with Fxx Support by simply

replacing the existing folders with the folders provided in the

Replace C:EC-AppsINPA

Replace C:EDIABAS

STEP 3: INSTALLING NCSEXPERT IN ENGLISH

Download and install NCSEXPER32_ENG.zip

Copy and replace contents in the .zip file with contents in C:NCSEXPERBIN. Now NSCExpert is in English but you will find the Hot Keys do not work. This is a bug a fellow MHH member discovered and haven’t really worked on trying to fix it so for the time being just click on the F# key with your mouse.Not done yet with NCSExpert. Need to import profiles to NCSExpert. How? well download the PFL.zip and copy and replace all contents from PFL.zip to [b]C:NCSExpertPFL. (you will also find a lot more PFL’s by searching for NCSExpert profiles in Google)

Now you have a working WinKFP and NCSExpert with profiles loaded on your PC we can continue to Step 4.

STEP 4: INSTALLING & CONFIGURATING DCAN INPA CABLE

Configure your DCAN/INPA cable. If you followed my steps correctly than your EDIABAS should already be configured to STD:OBD for use with the INPA cable. If not you can download ediabas-konfigurator from here if it is not already in your C:EDIABASEdiabas-Konfigurator folder. This tool allows you to easily change the ediabas.ini to your desired interface. So if you are switching from INPA to E-Sys you could use this to switch from STD:OBD to ENET.

Now to set your COM Port we must first find which COM port is being used for your cable.

Connect your cable to your PC (some may require a 12v supply to power the cable) Allow the device drivers to install (for best driver use the driver that came with your cable. If not then let windows install the best suitable driver for it) Navigate to Control Panel, Device Manager, and scroll to Ports (COM & LPT)…look at the pic

So in my case it’s COM5. So we need to change this in the obd.ini file located in the c:ediabasbin folder. But first lets make some changes to the cable.Right click on your INPA cable driver for example mine is labelled “USB Serial Port” and click on properties. Now in the property window click on the advanced tab.

Now every driver is different but the important part is the settings such as latency timer and received and transmit bytes. See pic bellow for the ideal settings. You may also change the COM port number here as well for tutorial I left it at 5. Once your changes are done we can proceed by clicking OK to accept the changes. No close all windows to return to the desktop.

STEP 5: CHANGING THE OBD.INI

Navigate to C:EDIABASBIN and find file obd.ini and open it with an editor such as notepad.

First 3 lines will look like this…

[OBD]

Port=Com1

Hardware=USB

So we need to change the Port to reflect our INPA cable which in our case is COM port 5. So change it to look like this…

[OBD]

Port=Com5

Hardware=USB

When done click File -> Save and exit out. Very important to remember which USB port you connected your cable to as plugging it into a different USB port will allocate the INPA cable to a different COM port and neither tool will see the cable until the original USB port is used again or changed in device manager and obd.ini as mentioned above.

Now to test if your cable installed correctly. Plug it into the vehicle’s OBD port and open INPA. You should look like this…

If not follow the above steps again and correct your error.

STEP 6: SPDATEN FILES

Download and install SPDaten files of your choice (always recommend the latest) in this case it is 51.2. Once downloaded you can now follow the instructions provided bellow labelled “How_to_start_WinKFP.pdf” this will explain how to import the SPDaten files to WinKFP.

Edit to update:

For NCSExpert to install or update the daten files, copy the files from SP-daten- E##daten to the C:NCSEXPERDATENE## (where E## is whatever chassis you’re updating). You will also want to copy the files from SP-daten-E##SGDAT to C:NCSEXPERSGDAT (they’re not separated into different chassis in NCS Expert, so you just want to copy and paste everything to that directory.

Overwrite everything it asks about). Then copy the files from SP-daten-E##ECU to C:EDIABASECU

After copying the daten files to c:NCSEXPERDATENE## copy the following files to the following locations:

copy C:NCSEXPERDATENE##*.000 C:NCSEXPERDATEN

copy C:NCSEXPERDATENE##*.DAT C:NCSEXPERDATEN

copy C:NCSEXPERDATENE##*.ASC C:NCSEXPERDATEN

BMW INPA Windows 10 Installation:

The only requirement for this install is Windows XP through Windows 10, 32 or 64 bit version and a working KDCAN cable. Instead of writing a lengthy detail in this post, I generated the instructions that’s included in link below.

This article is on how to update your BMW Inpa USB K+Dcan cable with enhanced firmware which improves communication speed and guards against corrupt ECU flashes!

The items to use:

Besides one of the workable USB K+CAN cables listed later, you will need the following items:

1. Arduino Uno (R3, doesn’t matter) or other model Arduino – $3.65
2. Dupont or Arduino jumper wires (male to female) – $1.33 for 40
3. 2.54mm breakout pins (6 pins total) – $1.13
4. Soldering iron/solder (if flashing a generic USB cable with switch that has empty ISP pinouts)

The software to download first:

you will need two programs and the newest firmware file to flash the required software to the Arduino and cable.

Software:

 ARDUINO IDE: https://www.arduino.cc/en/main/software

 AVRDUDESS: http://blog.zakkemble.net/avrdudess-a-gui-for-avrdude/

Firmware:

Newest Ediabaslib Binary cable Firmware:

Credits to Ulrich Holeschak who developed this firmware and documented

the procedure for use with his open source Ediabaslib.

Enhanced firmware advantages:

1. Can flash the following BMW ECUs without corruption:

 M3/M5/M6 DME (MSS6X)

 E6x M5/M6 SMG (GDSMG3)

 E9x GM Auto (GM1912)

2. And more…

 Faster CAN communication (block size 0 and no separation time).

 Allows configuration of CAN mode all the time, not only after power on.

 Allows configuration of the CAN parameters (block size and separation time)

 Correctly displays the ignition status (only available for K-line mode).

 Contains a bootstrap loader that allows firmware update without opening the device.

Bmw Inpa / Ediabas K+dcan Software

 Reduced power consumption due to use of sleep mode.

Workable cables:

We tested 2 kinds of Inpa K+CAN cable based on ATMega162 board can be flashed with this updated firmware, we are not responsible for any other cables that are not listed below.

1. ONESTOP Cable with ISP header: No soldering required

2. Generic AtMega162 based USB INPA cable with switch and ISP headers on circuit board: Soldering of header pins required

Before ordering INPA USB cable, Verify with the seller that the cable does have the ISP pin

header.

Look at the images below, the circuit board with pin header that we have already soldered on. The stock cable will not include the male pin headers, but rather empty holes which will allow you to solder on your own pins.

How to install the software for Inpa K+CAN cable?

STEP 1: Install software programs and download latest firmware

After downloading the files listed earlier in this document, install all of them using the default options.

Notes:

Arduino IDE:

When the Arduino IDE asks if you want to install any drivers from ADAfruit industries, select yes

or OK. It will prompt multiple times, but continue to agree to the driver installations.

AVRDUDESS:

Allow AVRDudess to put an icon on your desktop

Binary firmware:

Extract file with your favorite .zip archive extracting utility and save it to a folder on your

desktop.

Configuring the Arduino

STEP 2: Connect the Arduino to PC using supplied USB cable

1. After installing the software above, plug in your Arduino to the computer using the supplied USB cable.

Windows will detect and install the driver for the device.

Good to know:

if it does not and it shows that windows has failed to install a driver, download and

install the driver from the following link (CH341 based Arduino boards):

2. Verify the com port of the Arduino:
3. Open up windows device manager and expand the ports tree to view the Arduino com

port designation (COM5). Make note of this for the next step.

STEP 3: Flash Arduino as programmer

1. Run the Arduino IDE application and click OK to any prompts that show (java/firewall).
2. Click the TOOLS menu > BOARD > and select the Arduino board you have (be it Arduino Uno,

mega, etc).

3. Click the TOOLS menu > PORT > and select the COM port you made note of in the previous step (In this example its COM5).

Next, click on the FILE menu > Examples > 11.ArduinoISP >ArduinoISP

It will open up a new IDE window containing the code which we will upload to the Arduino.

Finally, Click the Arrow button (next to the checkmark circle) highlighted (in white) in the image below.

Clicking the Upload button will then begin to compile the sketch, and when done will tell you it is “Done uploading”.

You may now close the Arduino IDE. The Arduino is now an Atmel programmer!

Connecting the Arduino to The Inpa K+Can Cable ISP Pin Header

Connect Arduino to USB cable using jumper cables

For this step you will reference the images in this document and table below to see the correct pinout designations for the type of cable you are trying to flash. It’s imperative you connect the correct pins on the Arduino to the correct pins on the cable you are trying to flash. Failure to do so will prevent the flash from completing successfully. Bear in mind it makes no difference the color of the wires, as long as the pin number on the Arduino matches the Pin designation on the ISP header on the USB cable you are trying to flash.

One stop electronics cable

Generic cable with Switch and ISP Breakout

STEP 5: Flash cable with enhanced firmware

Verify:

1. The Arduino and USB cable are correctly connected together via jumper cables
2. The Arduino is connected to the computer by USB cable

*Optional: Plug the USB cable into the computer to supply it with power (it isn’t necessary to

install any drivers for it).

Once the above has been verified, run the AVRDUDESS application and configure the options exactly as

shown below:

Programmer (-c): Atmel AVR ISP

Port (-P): COM PORT YOU NOTED ABOVE (COM 5 in this example)

Baud rate (-b): 19200

Bit clock (-B): blank

Presets: Default

Options: Uncheck all (none selected)

Fuses lock bits:

L : 0xFD

H : 0xDC

E : 0xF9

Set Fuses: CHECKED

LB: BLANK

Once the AVRDUDESS options have been set:

1. Click the detect button at the top right corner to verify the Arduino can communicate with the

USB Cable microcontroller. If everything is connected properly, it should detect and specify the

chip in the terminal window and populate the MCU (-p) options with the correct

microcontroller.

If AVRDUDESS cannot detect the correct chip, verify the Arduino to ISP header connections and

double check soldering points.

2. Next, set the cable fuses by clicking the WRITE button directly under the ‘Fuses Lock Bits’

heading. This will write the three fuses we specified earlier to the cable. AVRDUDESS will also

display a terminal message verifying the fuses as shown below.

3. Next, under the FLASH section of AVRDUDESS, click the ‘…’ next to the empty space to browse

and select the ‘Combined.hex’ firmware file located in the CanAdapter folder from the archive

you extracted from the latest binary file located at

1. Verify that the Write radio button is selected, and Auto (writing only) is selected from the

Format drop down selection.

2. Click ‘Go’ to begin the flashing process.

At the end of the flash, the LED may light up on the USB cable.
