The BMW ENET OBD2 - RJ45 interface cable connects the OBD2 port of a BMW or Mini to the network port (RJ45) of your laptop. This lets you work via Ethernet with software such as E-Sys, BimmerCode, bootmod3 and xHP for coding, diagnostics and flashing.

The cable is passive: there is no chip inside. It connects the Ethernet pins of the OBD2 port (3, 11, 12 and 13) to the RJ45 plug and activates Ethernet diagnostics via pin 8. Intended for the F, G and I series; the E series does not have Ethernet diagnostics and requires a K+DCAN cable.

Pros

✔Fast via Ethernet — Suitable for coding and flashing.
✔Passive cable — No driver or chip required.
✔Lots of software — E-Sys, BimmerCode, bootmod3, xHP.
✔F, G and I series — Also Mini F models.

Points to consider

✕Not for the E series — It requires a K+DCAN cable.
✕RJ45 port required — Or a USB network adapter.
✕Software sold separately — The cable is supplied without software.
✕Flashing requires expertise — Errors can damage a module.

Applications and functions

The cable is intended for BMW and Mini specialists and DIY enthusiasts who want to code or flash an F, G or I series via a laptop.

Features

  • Coding: Adjust options with E-Sys or BimmerCode.
  • Diagnostics: Read and clear fault codes.
  • Flashing: Update module software.
  • Tuning: Via bootmod3 or xHP.

Pins

  • Pins 3 and 11: Ethernet transmit (TX+ and TX−).
  • Pins 12 and 13: Ethernet receive (RX+ and RX−).
  • Pin 8: Activates Ethernet diagnostics.

How to use it

  1. Network setup: Set the laptop's network port to automatic (DHCP).
  2. Connecting: Plug the cable into the OBD2 port and the RJ45 port.
  3. Ignition on: Switch the ignition on.
  4. Starting software: Start E-Sys, BimmerCode or your tuning software.

Special features and capabilities

What makes this cable different from a K+DCAN cable:

  • Ethernet instead of serial: Much faster with large files.
  • No driver: The laptop sees the car as a network.
  • Also mobile: With an Ethernet adapter for phone.

Compatible software and operating systems

The cable works with software that supports ENET, for example:

  • E-Sys: Coding and flashing of modules.
  • BimmerCode: Coding; on phone with Ethernet adapter.
  • bootmod3: Tuning via a wired laptop.
  • xHP: Transmission tuning, F series.

Operating systems: Windows and macOS, depending on the software. On iOS and Android it only works with an Ethernet adapter (USB-C or Lightning) and an app that supports it.

Compatible vehicles

The cable is intended for BMW and Mini models with Ethernet diagnostics via the OBD2 port:

  • BMW F series: From approx. 2008.
  • BMW G series: All models.
  • BMW I series: Incl. i3 and i8.
  • Mini: Models on the F platform.

Not suitable for the BMW E-series and Mini R-series; these use K-Line or D-CAN.

Package contents

  • 1x BMW ENET OBD2 - RJ45 | Interface cable
💡
Good to know: If your laptop does not have a network port, use a good USB-to-RJ45 adapter. Set the network port to DHCP; the car assigns its own IP address. Always connect a stable battery charger when flashing.
