This adapter cable is designed to establish the connection between an older type BMW vehicle and a modern OBD2 diagnostic device or interface. The product converts the specific round 20-pin OBD1 connection, commonly found in BMW models before 2001, to the universal 16-pin OBD2 (SAE J1962) standard. This enables the use of contemporary diagnostic software and scan tools compatible with the OBD2 interface.
The cable facilitates data transfer and power supply to the diagnostic device, providing access to the vehicle's electronic control systems. This includes, among others, engine management (DME), transmission (EGS), ABS, airbags, and other modules available via the 20-pin OBD1 system.
Package Contents and functionality:
This adapter cable allows users to perform diagnostic processes on older BMW models equipped with a 20-pin OBD1 connection. The primary purpose is to bridge the connectivity gap between older vehicle architectures and modern OBD2 diagnostic equipment.
- Data reading: Enables reading of fault codes (DTCs) and real-time sensor data from various vehicle modules.
- Diagnostics: Facilitates in-depth diagnostics of engine management, transmission, ABS, airbag systems, and other electronic components.
- Compatibility extension: Extends the compatibility of existing 16-pin OBD2 scan tools and interfaces to BMW vehicles with the older 20-pin OBD1 port.
- Power supply: Provides connected diagnostic equipment with power via the vehicle connection.
Compatible vehicles and applications:
This adapter cable is specifically designed for use with various BMW passenger cars equipped with the round 20-pin OBD1 diagnostic port, usually found under the hood. The cable is suitable for models produced before the general implementation of the 16-pin OBD2 standard in Europe, which was often around the year 2000-2001.
