BMW K+DCAN OBD2 - USB Switch Interface Cable Blue

The BMW K+DCAN OBD2 – USB switch interface cable in a striking blue color is an essential tool for BMW and Mini drivers who want to perform diagnostics, coding, and vehicle adaptations themselves. This advanced interface connects your laptop directly to the vehicle's OBD2 port and provides full access to the electronic systems. It is a powerful and reliable tool for both hobbyists and professionals.

The unique feature of this model is the built-in switch. This allows switching between K-Line (older models, until 2007) and DCAN (newer models from 2007). This means only one cable is needed for diagnostics on almost all modern BMWs and Minis – a practical and cost-effective solution.

Application and functionality:

• Diagnostics: Reads and clears fault codes from engine, ABS, transmission, airbags, etc.
• Live data: View real-time sensor information, even while driving.
• Coding and programming: Adjust vehicle settings such as daytime running lights, seatbelt reminder, comfort closing (Car & Key Memory).
• Service interval resets: Reset oil and maintenance intervals.
• Specific adaptations: Learning components such as injectors or a new battery.
• Actuator tests: Test individual components by activating them.

• EDIABAS: Underlying communication software necessary for INPA, NCS Expert, WinKFP, and Tool32.
• WinKFP: For flashing (programming) ECUs with new firmware versions (ZUSB numbers).
• Tool32: Engineering tool for performing specialized tasks such as reset procedures or entering injector data.
• SSS Progman: Visual software for coding and programming older E-series vehicles.
• ISTA-D (Rheingold): Dealer diagnostic software for performing full system scans, fault analysis, and service procedures on E-, F-, G-, and I-series vehicles.
• DIS: Classic diagnostic and service tool for E-series BMWs, works via a virtual machine.

Supported operating systems:

The interface is compatible with the following operating systems. For optimal stability, the use of older Windows versions is recommended, depending on the software used:

• Windows XP: Maximum compatibility with INPA, NCS Expert, and other classic BMW tools.
• Windows 7 (32-bit recommended): Most stable modern option for use with FTDI-based interfaces.
• Windows 8 / 10 / 11: Partially supported, but requires custom drivers or compatibility settings.

Note: Not all software works flawlessly on 64-bit systems or in combination with modern security settings. Use of a virtual machine or dual boot installation may be necessary with new Windows versions.
