K+DCAN INPA cable do Emergency Flash when flashing interrupted

I’m showing you how to do Emergency Flash when your flashing process was interrupted.

i bricked my CD player, got an aftermarket sony and its made a huge difference.

I’m using windows 7 64bit. I’m thinking of doing a fresh install, which i didn’t want to do as i have program dis and inpa working (i say working, program did brick my car).

I use K+DCAN USB cable green board, but of course it is possible also with ICOM. INPA works fine. my program and dis are on virtual machines. I have a copy of ista-p but no icom emulator and am unsure if my cable will work with an emulator. the guy that unbricked my car had an a cable like mine but with a black adapter plug on also, he also had an actual icom and some other box of tricks. It’s hard to find good information.

Here is the how-to’s.

Copy NFS notepad to Desktop and open it

K+DCAN-INPA-cable-do-Emergency-Flash-(2)

Change Interface= remote:OBD_abc625 to Interface= STD:OBD

Delete Interface_1, Interface_2, Interface_3 values K+DCAN-INPA-cable-do-Emergency-Flash-(4)

WinKFP starts emergency flash

Note: it won’t work now, because my car is disconnected

How to set up Router or DHCP server for BMW KOMBI and NBT programming

This is how to set up Router or DHCP server for BMW KOMBI and NBT programming with Enet e sys cable or ICOM A2 Ista-p.

Why LAN cable connection better than WLAN from rounter to PC:

Because ista P does not support wlan connections. Probably due to stability liability.

Ista p does not support wifi (wlan) and will not start ista p server if the wifi is enabled on the laptop, only ista p client will open and you cannot select istap server to program. Imagine if the wifi connection drops during programming then the car is screwed up. There are good reasons why bmw doesn’t allow programming via wifi

How to use the Router programming:

ICOM and computer must be connected through a router with DHCP server enabled. no direct connection laptop -> icom.

But you don’t have to use a router. But you do need a DHCP server running on the laptop on the ethernet interface.

It’s pretty easy,

1) Set a static IP on the Ethernet (not wireless) interface – I use 192.168.254.1
2) Install DHCP server (http://www.dhcpserver.de)
3) Configure DHCP server to listen on the Ethernet interface
4) Click on the buttons to set firewall ports and run as service
5) Connect up your ICOM and it’ll get a DHCP address from the DHCP server

Then you can program everything without faults.

I use this on multiple ISPI laptops and never had an issue and never needed a router to connect the computer and ICOM to.

This is a customer share of configuration that worked flawless:

Router DHCP, Icom DHCP and Windows Ethernet: automatic dhcp
First of all the ICOM should be configured this way:

ICOM Config

ConnectionMode = STATIC_IP
Ip = 192.168.68.85
Netmask = 255.255.255.0

BMW ICOM or ENET cable: which better for flash

There are problems with both ICOM and ENET. ENET can’t flash all ZGW modules and ICOM can’t flash any NBT units (including all other control units in MOST bus like KOMBI, AMP and so on). Fix is the same for both, use DHCP server to assign IP adresses. With ENET you can flash NBT even without DHCP server and with ICOM you can flash ZGW without DHCP server. You can even flash whole car without DHCP server by first flashing the ZGW with ICOM and then flashing the rest with ENET.

I meant that ENET is no worse than ICOM, and very very likely original ICOM is no worse than ENET. Anyway the difference is academic. Chinese cloned ICOM’s can be worse than ENET. New original ICOM Next costs around 510 euros, I think that there is no different between it and ENET in reliability. I don’t even remember when I last time used ICOM for F-series flashing, it was over a year ago anyway.

KOMBI and NBT programming review:

I flashed several F10,F20 with 3.56.4 and ICOM A2 through dhcp and its working well.
MOST connection will be used in Exx series, i flashed also some R56 and many E91 with most connection.

Just add a router and connect the icom to it and offcourse your laptop to the router.
Open a browser and type: ip address of your icom:60080 (User name: root Password: NZY11502) and change lan setting to dhcp. Reboot icom and check with iToolRader the new ip address of your icom. It should be 192.168.x.x
Fire up ista-p and do your coding.

Renault CAN CLiP disconnect when using(solved)

Renault CAN CLiP feedback:

CANCLIP interface disconnects automatically when i’m using it…

I am using CAN CLIP with PCB as follows: (it’s item no. SP19-D)

http://www.eobdii.fr/wholesale/can-clip-for-renault-diagnostic-tool.html

Hi, I’m sorry to hear that.

For the connection issues of CAN CLIP Renault SP19-D, you’re advised to rework the PCB:

Solder and make the two connection

Then it will work again.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Renault CAN CLIP diagnostic interface without connection/communication issues.

It’s the Quality A+++ CAN CLIP for Renault,1:1 clone of the original

In the PCB, engineers add the high quality chip CYPRESS AN2135SC or CYPRESS AN2136SC.

This chip AN2135SC/AN2136SC solved communication issues of old CLIP versions. That make CLIP work more stable and can be used for a longer time.

Using other versions of Renault CLIP, the diagnostic interface will disconnect if users have no operation for 10 minutes around after successful communication to the car.

That’s all we can do for you about Renault CAN CLiP connection issues and how to solve.

Mercedes WIS Online/Offline Vehicle Schema

It was very useful information of Mecedes workshop information system….In WIS online I noticed that it is possible to toggle cable colors between black/white and their respective colors.In my WIS offlineI also have at the moment no possibility to check it.

This only works for newer vehicle schemas.

“Newer” – it works from 204 and up. So from 2007-today.

(But this option does not exist at 202,210,211,220 etc, not for all models.)

To enable the button do the following: (I only can tell you in German, just google for translate if you cannot follow.)

Optionen -> WIS -> Leitungslinien schwarz-weiß anzeigen (uncheck it)

That option is there for all models. It is there even without choosing any model. But it doesn’t do anything.

To be honest, I often prefer Starfinder to WIS for wiring diagrams, pretty much all the diagrams have colours, also reference values and location of components come in nice and handy.but Starfinder is not always right.. WIS is far more accurate.
