Review on πŸ”Œ OHP INPA Cable FTDI FT232RL USB OBD2 for BMW Diagnostic Coding - K Line Support, Windows Compatible by Tony Wylie

Revainrating 5 out of 5

2000 E39 ABS Trifecta

I bought this for an ABS DSC Trifecta diagnosis and it arrived a day early which boded well. One problem I had was that none of my laptops had a DVD drive, but I downloaded the software mentioned in one of the reviews and it was easy to install. I first installed it on Win 10 and it registered as a real FDTI but it didn't connect. After reading a few posts I installed a Win XP virtual machine and tried that. still no connection. Time to READ THE MANUAL! Setting the COM port to COM1 in the advanced settings fixed this and INPA was able to communicate with the engine and chassis modules using the 16 pin "Pacman" adapter and allowed me to see the analog steering wheel in real time. sensor speed. Based on other reviews, Win 10 would work for me if I set the COM port to COM1. I also bought a 10ft USB extender so I can walk from the engine to the cab while driving to see diagnostics and it works great!
