Autel | BMW 20-pins OBD1 - 16-pins OBD2 Adapter | Passenger car
The Autel Adapter is designed to establish a connection between a 16-pin OBD2 diagnostic device and the specific 20-pin round diagnostic connector found in older BMW models. This Adapter converts the physical pins of the OBD1 connector to the standardized OBD2 layout, allowing modern scanners to communicate with the vehicle's systems.
By using this Adapter, it becomes possible to access the control units (ECUs) of compatible BMW vehicles with a modern reading device. Functions such as reading and clearing fault codes, viewing live data, and performing system-specific tests are supported, depending on the capabilities of the connected diagnostic device and the vehicle itself. The 20-pin connection is usually located in the engine compartment.
Application and functionality:
This Adapter is intended to establish a physical and electrical connection between the older, vehicle-specific diagnostic port and the standardized 16-pin connector of modern diagnostic equipment.
- Diagnostic connection: Enables a stable communication link between a 16-pin OBD2 scanner and the vehicle's 20-pin diagnostic port.
- Pin conversion: Translates the pinout of the 20-pin BMW connector to the standardized 16-pin OBD2 connection, ensuring the correct communication lines are connected.
- Wide scanner compatibility: Works in combination with diagnostic equipment from Autel and other brands equipped with a standard 16-pin OBD2 plug.
Compatible vehicles and Application:
This Adapter is specifically developed for BMW models equipped with the 20-pin round diagnostic connector. This generally concerns vehicles built before circa 2001.
