I killed several hours with this sh** and i.m about to destroy my laptop because of frustration.

i have an 2011 - e92 - LCI.

Error is that : INITIALIZATION ERROR

i have set the COM to 1, obd.ini is alos COM1. i don't get it

[Sensible_]

Hehe you won't be the last person to go crazy trying to get this to work!

What is the actual error? Is it IFH-0018?

Is COM1 actually free in device manager?

Also, make sure you only have INPA open and no other standard tools program. EDIABAS can only use 1 at a time.

[sinner-]

yes, that is the error

i checked for com1, it's all set.

the problem is that when INPA starts i don't see battery ON and ignition ON. both are .. OFF/ unchecked.

[Sensible_]

Where did you get your cable from? What colour pcb does it have?

Also, try alternative drivers. Search around for them or use windows update drivers.

it seems now i can see ignition and battery ON

but still i get errors:
SYS-0010:INITIALIZATION ERROR

Set latency to 1?

[sinner-]

yep. already 1.
damn bastard...

i tried also this inpa: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=451145
still same sH**

[sinner-]

it shows battery ON and ignition ON if the USB K DCAN cable is in.
the OBD is not connected to the car, only to the computer..

so.. something is.. wrong.

What OS and bit you running?

[cryptomit]

your cable doesn't work with cars after 03.2008, you have LCI.

[sinner-]

i'm running WnXP
and yes, the cable is K-DCAN.

Cryptomit, can you guide me to a LCI woking cable?
Thanks

[sinner-]

still:

this guy seems to use the same cable.
He said he used the INPA bundle from that e90post thread which I also tried. Damn it, I don't get it where i'm doing it wrong..

[cryptomit]

I'm sure your cable is not ok.

I sent you PM with cable directions.

SOLVED:

i had to modify the EDIBAS.INI

as follows

RemoteHost
; Description : server address/name
; Default = -
; RemoteHost = Desmo16

Desmo16 being my computer's name (note that this must be maximum 8 chars)

and

Port
; Description : IP communication port
; Value : 1000 < port < 30000
;
; Spezialfall OP(P)S / ICOM:
; Value : 6801 ;OBD-Treiber (CAN)
; Value : 6802 ;Most-Treiber
;
; Default = -
; Port = 6801

Be sure port is 6801 as mine was 3000.

i also ran the DCAN utility found here: http://osefactory.com/tools/k+dcan/

and set it on 500 kbit DCAN
it worked like a charm after i made these mods.

[sinner-]

and btw, i'm using my laptop with Win7 x64, no VM.

[cryptomit]

This is interesting. Look at my EDIABAS (attached) with this setting I can easily do anything with my car 2010 LCI

[sinner-]

i can see you have the original setup of ediabas.ini.
damn weird.
I did two things, so i don;t know which one did the trick.
1. i modified the ediabas.ini
2. i ran the DCAN utility and set it up for 500 kbs

by a simple logic, by you having the original ediabas.ini not modified, I could tell that the DCAN utility made the things working. Still, it's good that i made it somehow ))

p.s.s now i'm struggling to make the engine checks display in english. all other INPA results are in english, but the engine.. is still DE.

Hey Sinner, you are right .

I had the same problem error 100, Initialization error. I kept my ediabas file as is and run the DCAN utility found here: http://osefactory.com/tools/k+dcan/

and set it to 500kbit/s

And bang ! worked.

there is a little trick though i notices. you have to set the 500kbit /s rate within 30 secs of connecting it to your laptop and cars obd2 . during the time when the red light on the cable is lit otherwise it will error timeout or echo

Hope this helps everyone
