KDCAN cable not showing up in INPA
Ok, so about 6 months ago I researched everything for how to code using BimmerGeeks standard tools 2.12 and was able to get a good handful of things coded and was on my merry way. Well now I need to code something out again and I reinstalled everything and CANNOT remember how to get the cable to work again. Yes it's the right cable, no it's not a cable with a switch to change modes.
I'm using Windows 10 64 bit. I installed the 64 bit drivers from EDIABAS and was successful, but when I plug in the cable, I'm still not getting cable detection or ignition detection in INPA. The only thing that's changed is that it's a new laptop and I think previously I was using a USB 2.0 port, but this new laptop only has USB 3.0 ports. Is this a known issue? In Windows 10 you have to manually add the "Ports (COM & LPT)" device in device manager. I did so by going to the "Action" menu in device manager and selecting "Add legacy hardware". Ok done. Then under the Ports "tree" there is permanently a "Communications Port" device (at least for me). I changed this one to COM4 in the properties menu. Then I plugged in my cable and it showed up as "KDCAN" USB device in device manager in its own "tree". I went into properties for this device and manually installed the 64 bit drivers from the EDIABAS hardware folder in the C drive. After this, my cable showed up as "USB to Serial converter" in the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" tree. Then a new type of USB device showed up in its own tree (can't remember the name) and I reinstalled the drivers again for this new device. After that, I finally had "USB Serial Port" show up in the "Ports (COM & LPT)" tree. Now I was finally able to go to properties and change the COM port to COM1 and set latency to 1. From what I remember last time I coded, this was all that was needed to set up the cable in Windows 10, but the cable is STILL not showing up. I have tried with the cable by itself and with the cable plugged up to the OBD port. Same result. No cable detected and no ignition detected. I have tried all 3 USB ports and have also tried restarting several times. Nothing is working so far. See screenshot below for details. Does anyone have any advice? |

Had to pull fresh drivers for the cable, the ones with the software wouldn't install properly.

I have a similar issue. My old one stop electronics cable works but my bimmergeeks cable doesn't work on the same laptop.
Wasn't sure if I needed to update any drivers but I filled out the bimmergeeks contact form and they never responded to my inquiry. Might try the driver update but I didn't want to mess with my setup as it works with my older cable. |
