As someone that is new to BMW and the scanner, this was the most helpful video that I've found so far! I hope you continue to put out videos. Thanks a lot!
LED bulbs actually have much higher resistance, and therefore the current is very low. That is why the LCS detects an open circuit when a conventional bulb is replaced with an LED. But I'm just nitpicking, great video and very informative!
Yea, it still is though because I have to physically fix a wiring issue. It will reset the codes and you can code the car for things that can be done at the dealership which will cost over $100 or so. Resetting the car by just having it reset the adaptations (the way you drive the car) so it can re-learn if you drive aggressive, slow, etc.
good vid and explains really good how the software operetes I have this unit 1.4.0but am finding it a bit hard to install ...something to do with drivers one question...my 04 325 E46 is a bit thirsty so can this program reset your fuel economy back to factory of maybe there is a code fault
Is it possible to re-code the speedometer kilometers? My current speedometer is bad, and i got a new one, but it has much more miles than my current one.
Quick question. If I swap out my ZKE/GM5 do i just need to re-code/re-sync my key FOB/remote to get it to work?? I heard that I had to "reprogram," or "re-code" the GM5 to my vehicles VIN. However I have plugged in the new GM5 and I don't see any problems or non functions except for the key FEB remote. Everything else works perfect. I can lock and unlock all doors, roll up and down all windows with my key FOB remote from turning and holding the drivers door lock. What else is there to do?
Thanks, managed to get the error light off my dash for rear lights after changing (and coding milage into) the LCM Quick query, I unticked cold check, hot check and BC message. Was that right or wrong? You only appear to ubtick cold check?
one question though, these guys dont make it clear in the description which version of the software comes with the cable, but it seems like there is a full version (looks like what you have) and on that one cost 650us according to the information on that site
have this unit but have a question when I go to DME to check on data ...will not go into live data it is not highlighted also I want to have side mirrors to retract when ignition is off have you any suggestions
Would you happen to now if this tool will allow you to code the Nav system options? I need to recode my MK4 Nav to match the car.. Normally this would be done with an I-Bus interface, I think..
My clock changer knob is broken on my instrument cluster and it shows no time at all neither on the radio or the cluster. could i change it with this???
Fault is with the catalytic converter, it’s reading too high and the o2 sensors tell you there’s a problem, change the cat and the errors will go the problem is the cat!
Hi Xion Unjust love the video. 2 questions though. 1. Where do I but the PA Soft / BMW Scanner 1.4 2. I was wondering if I could reprogram a used cluster with this.
Does anybody know where to download the drivers for the scanner for Windows 8.1 64bit? The enclosed mini-disk enclosed is only for XP and Win 7. Thanks
I have a 1998 BMW Z3. There is a 20 pin connector under the hood to read dealer service dept codes. My guess is PA Soft / BMW Scanner 1.4 can not read the dealer codes. ????????????? Is that correct?

my e46 moonroof windowns all down sometime car is on the strret how to fix by this soft , can i disable remote opening windows so the windows wont goes down

can you change the odometer numbers. i put a used cluster on my car, because my old one burned, and was wondering if i can change the numbers to the correct ones.
where do you buy this? Does it have options to see live stats (MPH,Air Fuel Ratio ETC) and did you have to do any soldering or modifying of the device to be able to use properly? For instance to turn drl off, traction control off, abs off, etc etc ...
Yes you can from what I remember. It should be under central body where you will see the option to turn off the key in ignition and the ambient temp sensor/freezing temp warning

What year model is your E46? I have a 2005 325ci and the light coding doesn't work. Menus pop up, I can write new codes, but no change to the lights! The canbus error message delete works though, but no light coding. Any ideas? Everything else in the software works.
+Xion Unjust (Solidjake) Us blinks. I have the EU model with separate parkbulbs in the headlight. I can choose options and press write code, it even comes up as succesful but nothing happens to the actual lights. No change at all.
I got load of things not working on my BMW 318Ci Se 2001 model UK spec. Alarm chirps and makes a high pitch noise constantly until I pull 1 of the 5 amp alarm fuses. The car starts with the fuse in place and alarm sounding and it still is making a high pitch noise whilst the engine is running. The Key fobs don't work and non of the functions on the Fobs work, (Even fitted a new battery Panasonic VL2020 in 1 of them) No central locking, on the Fobs, on the Key, or inside the car on the button by gear shift. No windscreen wipers or washers. No electric windows on any of them on the car which has 4. No interior lights or no glove box lights. Left hand indicator flashes to fast until I operate the Hazard warning lights then when I switch the hazards off it works normally..The right side is fine. (All bulbs ok) The rest of the electrics seem ok, lights, dash lights, radio, cruise control and ASC and mirrors all work fine. So the question is really I am sure that my GM5 Module is in a serious way. Will this cable and scanner sort out my problems? There is so many scanners out there I have looked in to inpa NCSexpert and NSC Dummy but this looks a lot user friendly.. Any advice for me would be greatly appreciated, can you tell me what I need and where to get it from please should this be a resolution. I have to sort this asap..
hi, if u can answer this i would be so thankful, i just got the 1.4.0 scanner because im having some troubles with my abs, i scanned it for fault codes but then on the abs it said "not found" do you know what the problem is?
Hi, I got this scanner a bout a week ago, and its awesome, but I'm trying to stop my heater from coming on every time I start the car, is the PA soft capable of performing such a task? I've already coded a few things but the heater is really bugging me.
+e30BMW4ever Usually it's not a coding issue from what I know. Do you turn off the heater before turning off the car? If you don't then the car will store that it was on and will turn it on next time you turn the key to position 2
+Xion Unjust (Solidjake) Thanks for the reply. Yes, I turn of the heater before turning the car off. But next time I start the car the heater comes on again. The temperature value at which was set stays stored every time, but regardless, every time I turn the key to position 2 it comes back on. My car is a 2000 E46 325ci. I wonder if changing the old style 10 button climate control unit would help. BTW, I've seen a lot of your threads on e46fanatic and your E46 is just awesome!
Is it possible to disable the Brake Pad Wear Sensor on the instrument cluster? I have tried every possible way known to reset the light and it won't go away.
Hey Mike, did you replace the sensor? If the light came on due to low brake pad material then it must be replaced. After it is replaced you have to put the key in position 2 (right before turning the car on) and leave it like that for a minute. Then the light will be off when you take the key out and turn on the car
I replaced the sensors and left the key on in the #2 position for over a minute and the lights did not go out. I then took a piece of wire and jumped both sensors, put the key in the #2 position for over a minute and the lights still remained.
@@flippy9133 Thanks bro. Until now, I already know this, I also got INPA. I resolved the issues on my car and got another car afterwards. Damn, how the time flies. A lot has happened in .... 5 years.

So that's what you sound like. Nice refresher course for me. Thanks Jake.
Extremely clear. Thank you. Just getting this for my m3 CSL.
Thanks Jake. Sometimes generic codes don't help much. The local mechanic was eager to test the car for $80. "You got $80? You can go to the ATM." :)
i cannot wait to receive this thing! great walk through !
GOD Thank you. # weeks or reading about "coding" and "programming" and then seeing this video makes it so simple. Thanks a lot!
Great tutorial. Many thanks.
Great video 👍
for IKE / EWS issue: you have to solder pin 7 and pin 8 inside the scanner. It worked on my '99 323Ci.
excellent video
Yea, it still is though because I have to physically fix a wiring issue. It will reset the codes and you can code the car for things that can be done at the dealership which will cost over $100 or so.
