ISTA on E46 K+DCAN cable

Recommended Posts

So i'm having trouble communicating the the modules on the e46

I have the OBD-II port near the driver side knee, there is no 20 pin connector under the hood.

ISTA Operations VIN read out doesn't pull any vehicle information

I've loaded up INPA and the cable is reading the battery ON/OFF and Ignition ON/OFF correctly.

The cable & ista works perfect on my E90, vin reads out, access to all modules.

Anyone had any experience with something like this?

Is this linked to the switch on some of the cables, or bridging pins 7/8?

Cheers

Just answered my own quesiton, bridged plug 7/8 with some tin foil just to see if it worked, and it did ... lol

I'll get the soldering iron out when i can find it and wire a tidy toggle switch ...

Make sure you buy the cable with the switch, save your self the hassle
