Tymm Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Can you use INPA via a bluetooth OBD2 connector? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troublesome84 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Even if it's possible, a small interference could cause major problems when the data transmission is interrupted. You can use it with the phone apps to read codes, but if You plan to do coding, go for the cable. Tymm and jlee51 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimp Choker Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 This. It would be possible with a modded BT obd dongle that then mirrors the bmw protocol, however I wouldn't have a clue on how to mod the dongle Tymm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tymm Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Thats a bit of a bummer, so I just been looking on e-bay for a cable laptop-obd, there is quite a few different ones, I need 1 to cover my E92, E61 and would be good if it covered my E46, has anyone got any good links for 1?

Dave1987 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 If you are lucky enough to configure Rheingold on cheap INPA K+DCAN cable, that will meet all your demands, basic diagnosis, ecu progrmaming, ecu update etc, 96 to current E46 all included, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
