I'm interested only in my E3. BMW INPA cables will work. I'll cross those other model bridges when I come to them I'm sorry I'm so dense. You're not dense. This is a complicated topic and there is no single comprehensive description, at lease that I've found. Lots of jargon, and many people that have mistaken concepts that add to the confusion.
Here's hoping I'm not one of them. This is all (only very slowly) starting to make sense. Just like dealer equipment went through something like these iterations: Mo.
Di. C => GT1/DIS => GT1/DISplus => SSS/Progman => SSS/OPS => SSS/OPPS => ISIS => ISTAThere might be a transition in standards of something like: OPS and OPPS are newer diagnostic heads, not software versions. I think ISIS is the BMW software control system - automatic updates. Implemented long after E3. ISTA/D and ISTA/P is the new, current, dealer level software.
ALDL => ADS => OBD1 => OBD1. OBD2 => K- line => CAN => D- CAN => MOST => BYTEFLIGHTK- line is an indirect label for several protocols that are used through OBD ports. CAN and D- CAN also work through OBD ports. Again, this is (all too slowly) starting to make some sense. These are apparently the . What I do know is that EDIABAS understands it and will work with E3.
While these are the other protocols: Ah. This is good to know. I wasn't aware of this (I thought the 'cables' were the diagnostic heads). I see now that the cables are the poor- DIYer's diagnostic head. The diagnostic heads handle lots of other stuff that we poor- DIYers don't have, such as oscilloscope probes. Also, your list above is not comprehensive. There are lots of other protocols in use.
But why worry about them? EDIABAS/INPA works for out E3. The Big Box Of Art 215 000 Imageshack here. I 'was' wondering why the cable is often called an .
One of my prior posts lists capablilities. For your door locking, either NCS Expert (+NCS for Dummies) or Easy. DIS or Progman. INPA, NCS Expert and Win. KFP are easy to install.
NCS Expert and Win. KFP have little documentation and can f*ck things up if you make a mistake. As in the car won't run until I figure out what went wrong & can I fix it. BTW, Win. KFP is used to update programming in the modules. If it fails on an update for whatever reason, you may have to buy a new module. Easy. DIS and Progman are tedious to install but user friendly; little chance of converting your car into a 2 ton paperweight.
As the adage goes: you pays your money & you takes your choice. Don't know what NPA is. So far as I know, Toolset.
INPA, NCS Expert, Win. KFP. I haven't installed it so can't comment much. CIP is an acronym for Customization and Individualization Programming. CIP is not software. All the options offered can be set/changed by NCS for Experts, Easy. DIS and Progman. OPS is one of the diagnostic heads, not software.
OPSis - not heard of it. OPPS is also a diganostic head. ISIS and ISTA are current dealer software.
