The <strong>BMW</strong> <strong>INPA</strong> interface is one of <strong>the</strong> best accessories in <strong>the</strong> market <strong>to</strong>day. <strong>BMW</strong>s rank among<br />

<strong>the</strong> finest vehicles in <strong>the</strong> market <strong>to</strong>day. They are quite expensive and so if you buy one, you will<br />

make sure that you get <strong>the</strong> best accessories for it. The <strong>INPA</strong> interface is most definitely <strong>the</strong> one<br />

that you should be planning <strong>to</strong> get. It works for all <strong>BMW</strong>s that were manufactured between 1998<br />

and 2013.<br />

There are a variety of actions that you can perform with <strong>the</strong> <strong>BMW</strong> <strong>INPA</strong> interface <strong>the</strong>y include:<br />

• Read and erase errors<br />

• Reprogramming<br />

• Coding<br />

• Adaptations<br />

These are just some of <strong>the</strong> common functions of <strong>the</strong> interface. But <strong>the</strong>re are many o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

procedures that you can perform using this cable.<br />

When you are planning <strong>to</strong> run a diagnostic test on your car, you will require <strong>the</strong> <strong>BMW</strong> <strong>INPA</strong><br />

interface USB. It allows you <strong>to</strong> <strong>do</strong> <strong>the</strong> testing on your lap<strong>to</strong>p or just about any computer that you<br />

have in access. Normally, <strong>the</strong> USB cable is long enough <strong>to</strong> allow you <strong>to</strong> <strong>do</strong> your analysis from a<br />

distance- around five meters in length. The <strong>INPA</strong>/Ediabas USB interface requires you <strong>to</strong> have<br />

software installed on <strong>the</strong> computer that you will be using <strong>to</strong> run <strong>the</strong> diagnostic test. The software<br />

will <strong>do</strong> <strong>the</strong> diagnostics, all you have <strong>to</strong> <strong>do</strong> is run it.<br />

When you buy <strong>the</strong> <strong>BMW</strong> <strong>INPA</strong> diagnostic test line it will usually come with <strong>the</strong> CD containing<br />

<strong>the</strong> software. However this depends on <strong>the</strong> seller. Some sellers will only have <strong>the</strong> USB cable<br />

which will not be of any help if you <strong>do</strong> not have <strong>the</strong> particular software installed on your<br />

computer. None<strong>the</strong>less, it is possible <strong>to</strong> purchase <strong>the</strong> cable and <strong>the</strong> CD separately. Online s<strong>to</strong>res<br />

such as eBay and Amazon are bound <strong>to</strong> have <strong>the</strong> two products separately and also both o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>m<br />

<strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r. Every OBD2 equipped vehicle is supported by <strong>the</strong> Ediabas K USB interface. However<br />

<strong>the</strong>re are some exceptions such as <strong>the</strong> vehicles which have both OBD2 and <strong>the</strong> twenty- pin<br />

connec<strong>to</strong>r installed. In this case for fac<strong>to</strong>ry diagnostic, high chances are that <strong>the</strong> OBD2 connec<strong>to</strong>r<br />

will not be fully wired and thus you cannot use it for that purpose. The o<strong>the</strong>r exception is <strong>the</strong> F-<br />

series vehicles. The problem with <strong>the</strong>se ones is not <strong>the</strong> connection but ra<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> software. The<br />

software that comes with <strong>the</strong> USB interface <strong>do</strong>es not support <strong>the</strong> F- series vehicles. It is highly<br />

unlikely that your Beemer will not be supported by this interface cable.
