Hi All

I am new to the coding scene

Just received by OBD cable

Running Win7 64bit Ultimate
Issues:
1. Dont have comm port on the laptop
2. NCSEXPERT does not run, gives me message about compatibility, even wen running in compatibility mode

Tried running the program on a Windows XP Virtual PC however comes up with api.dll errors and api32.dll errors.

Any help

Thank You

Did you install the drivers for the obd cable?

mrtanz · 07-31-2011, 05:26 PM

Yes installed the drivers in the C:\EDIABAS\Hardware\OBD location
Tried newer drivers but kept getting BSOD

Hmm I'm not sure if that's where it's suppose to go or not. I just got a regular K CAN OBDII cable for $37 and a R232 to USB adapter and used the drivers that came with the adapter.

The cd that came with the adapter just installed it automatically. I'm assuming in a windows directory. Not the ediabas directory.

mrtanz · 07-31-2011, 07:00 PM

sorry meant i installed the drivers from the ediabas location

Have you tried to remove all of the files and try to start over? Maybe you made a mistake somewhere?

mrtanz · 08-01-2011, 01:08 AM

perfect

Thank You for that it works great now.
However i have an e90, in the PDF it says to click E89.. is that correct or are there newer files i should use. Also when i check the MAN file after saving i dont see the BC_Digital... line

You're welcome. Yes, click E89 for your E90 car.

Here is the Chassis Family Codes List for NCSExpert. (Source: thanks to dadeppa from another forum)

any ideas about not seeing the BC_Digital in my MAN file?

Neutrino45 · 08-01-2011, 09:41 AM

BC_Digital is in the KOMBI module (there is a mistake in the guide). You need to edit the .TRC file then save that file as .MAN.
