If your cheap BMW INPA K+DCAN USB interface with FTDI chip failed to install drivers or the system prompt cannot locate the drivers. Here is a little write-up on how to fix it.
Disclaimer:
I am using Windows 8.1 system. No sure if it works on yours. You are on your own risk.
Does anyone have a link to download the latest version of INPA software (6.4.3 I believe) I've been looking for a while now and can't find a. I find this blog share the BMW INPA Download,but the links of INPA 6.4.3 is invalid. Free download BMW INPA EDIABAS software all in one. BMW INPA K+DCAN USB Diagnostic Cable. What you will install. BMW INPA K+DCAN cable fail to install driver (fixed) Posted on September 8, 2015 by sales. Here are the INPA driver & software, free download links. If the driver.
Pre-installation caution:
Here are the INPA driver & software, free download links. If the driver/software is working, then ignore the next part. Otherwise take a look at the following part for reference.
INPA Driver: http://www.obd2vip.com/download/inpa-driver.zip（Close antivirus software or set your browser to download success）
INPA software: http://www.obd2vip.com/download/inpa-2.zip
Procedure:
1. Open your Device Manager. Control Panel–Hardware & Sound–Device Manager.
2. Connect the INPA K+DCAN cable with computer/PC-Double click
3. Locate USB Serial Converter->DetailsDropdown Menu->Hardware IDs. The PID number is the one you want. Will most likely be 0000.
4. Download CDM v2.08.30
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM%20v2.08.30%20for%20Windows%208.1.zip
5. Disable “Driver signature verification” Settings–Change PC Settings–Recovery–Advanced Startup–Restart.
This will restart your PC to Advanced settings. From there: Troubleshoot–Advanced Options–Startup Settings–Restart–F7
Follow these picture guides:
Your PC will then restart with signature verification disabled. You are now able to edit the INPA drivers.
6. Unzip the Drivers file that you just downloaded and open up
7. Open ftdibus.inf
8. Replace every PID_6001 with PID_0000 to match your hardware ID. Scan through the whole document. Then save it.
9. Then find ftdiport.inf. Do the same to ftdiport.inf
10. Back in your Device Manager double click on your OBDII cable again.
Locate USB Serial Convertor Properties->Driver->Update Driver-> Browse my computer.
Locate your driver and install. You will need to install it for both USB Serial Converter and Ports & COM.
11. Setup INPA cable as normal and run INPA software.
It seems that the white FTDI chip INPA cables have to be manually put into D-CAN mode. This file will take care of that. It is normal for the LED to go out.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/35fnrnd3q3dvf3w/D-CAN.exe
If you put the cable into DCAN mode, the LED goes off, and it says there is no adapter connected. Please connect it to the car and run the DCAN mode.

BMW inpa cable
Basically, there are two methods for users to get the INPA K+DCAN usb cable, to buy a complete one or simply build one yourself. Read the following to get it.
One way is to build a cable yourself. Cost for this would probably range anywhere between 10 to 20 bucks. You will need to solder a bit but it’s nothing too serious if you follow the instructions to the letter.
Its actually very simple that any average person can do that has access to a drill and a soldering gun.
Tools needed..
1. Small philip screwdriver to take the D-can cover off
2 Radio Shack micro on/off switch (can be two prongs or three) and some wire 24 guage.
3. Soldering gun
4. Some type of glue gun or glue adhesive
5. Drill bit 5/16 to make hole in the D-can cover
Locate pin 8 which will have a number on the side of the board. One side will have the digit 1 and the other digit 8
Once you locate pin 8, thats the pin we will be using as well as the next one over. Connect each pin 7 and 8 with a separate wire and then use the soldering gun and connect each wire to the micro on/off switch… If you bought a 2 prong on/off switch connect it to each side, but if you bought a switch with three prongs, connect the middle and one of the ends, doesnt matter which one. At the end there will be one prong end not used…Neatly place the wires snug so that the D-can cover can be closed without anything preventing it to make a closed seal and your done. Screw in the 4 philip head screws in their respected holes. Note which postion is on and which is off by some type of label on the outside of the cover…SImple! Note on my first pic, I have a switch with 3 prongs, but I snipped off the 3rd one just to make it easier to solder…
I modified my cable with a switch and have 7 and 8 bridged to work with a 2004 E46. INPA and Dis 44 work perfect but I cant get Progman to work. Progman starts to reads the FA/ZCS after you choose the car model and then after awhile it says it requires an Edic/Icom cable connection. What needs to be done to make connection with Progman SSS V32?? Do I need to change anything in the Ediabas configuration. I know my modified cable works fine now that I modified it because Dis 44 and INPA wasn’t communicating before I modified the cable. Thanks for the help. I am stumped as I want to code the car for my brother-in-law. I actually can use Dis 44 as I already went into the CKM coding menu, but Progman is much better to help him choose his features he wants as its pretty much offers a checklist with dots!
Took a pic of my success with my modified D-can cable connected to E46 using Progman. My brother-in-law had no idea he had so many features that were not turn on…He also turn off his daytime running lights which he hated!
(NOTE: this diy guide is from cn555ic at e90post.com, the professionals have not tried, put it here )
But if you are not interested in building one, buy a dedicated BMW cable instead. This is a site that has been confirmed working by some of E-series friends: http://www.obdii365.com/wholesale/bmw-inpa-k-can-with-ft232rq-chip.html .. I wouldn’t recommend other sites, although they may work, problem is that they have not been confirmed working yet. Functions of k+dcan cable at obdii365 has been tested for years (many discussion in forums).
The version 2016 cable is great, designed with the FT232RQ chip and a switch to turn LEFT is for 7 pin or RIGHT for 8 pin (8 pin for K-LINE communication (old DCAN cables cannot do it) for BMW from 1998 to 2008)
the chips and switch on the cable….

How to install inpa on windows xp
Inpa installation video made by obdii365.com officially
I’ve used this install method without fault on umpteen machines now and not had to amend any registry settings or anything, its worked first time every time this way..
there is a myth you have to use com port 1 with INPA this is total cobblers! you can use any com port number you like as long as the INPA OBD.ini file port selection matches your actual com port setting on the vagcom interface you have set..
First things to do is Download the 326MB version of BMW INPA from a torrent site or anyware you can get it ( and extract it to a folder on your machine..
you also may need to download the FDTI VCP (virtual com port) driver for windows XP for the Vagcom USB interface from the FDTI website, unzip it to a folder and copy this folder to the 326MB INPA installation software folder so you know where it is and for any future installations…
Virtual COM Port Drivers
- Insert your modded OBD-II-USB vagcom cable into your usb-port
-once it is detected by windows and prompts for the driver (at this point windows may find the drivers for you depending on the vagcom type) point it towards your FDTI vcp driver folder in the INPA folder if windows fails to find the drivers…
It will then install the drivers (it will probably go thru this process twice just repeat the process)
In the windows Device Manager, you should now see [Ports COM & LPT] ->> “USB Serial Port (ComX)
right click this and click properties/port settings /advanced.
at the top change your port number to your selection( if you do not wish to move or force a device on COM1 to another port because its already being used just select an unused port usually COM2 is unused) just remember your port selection for the INPAinstall.
Now change the transmit and receive settings in the drop down boxes to 2048 for both transmit and receive
Now change the latency setting from 16 to 1
Ok the changes and exit
The usb vagcom cable is now setup.
- Always use SAME USB-port from now on.
- Installing INPA
you must copy and paste your downloaded complete INPA installation software folder to your C drive.
in your INPA folders click programmisation then double click setup.
It should default to English so ok this.
Click next till you get to the selection for software to install.
Select or deselect in options boxes but as a minimum select INPA ,EDIABAS and NCS expert if you want it.
Click next you will be asked to backup and restore (I declined this , unticked the box and skipped it all)
Make sure quick launch and desktop icons are ticked.
Click next.
Now select STD-OBD in drop down box (should be by default).
Click next.
Now select the com port number you selected earlier from the drop down box and tick the USB to serial adaptor box.
Click next and install (if it ask for backup and recovery just click skip to these prompts if you wish)
Finish install
Reboot
Now go to C/ediabas/hardware/OBD/OBDsetup.exe
Double click OBD setup.exe
If all is well you should get a black DOS box up with various settings shown with a full house of ok’s on them, you may get the start one saying warning instead of an ok if you have selected an alternative com port just ignore it)
press any key to exit if the list is ok.
Reboot
Go to C/ediabas/bin..
Find the OBD.ini or OBD file and double click
Your settings will be dispayed make sure they read as below
PORT= COM? (your com choice entered and set earlier)
HARDWARE=USB
RETRY=ON
UBAT=OFF (type this command in manually in this position)
Exit and save
Right click andCopy the amended OBD.ini file and paste it into your C/windows folder
Now go back to the INPA install folder on C drive.
Open C/INPA folder/REFERENZ/INSTALL.
Double click instprog.exe
Ok the german writing page
Select English and continue.
At destination drive page make sure C drive is selected and continue.
Now select BMW “GROUP RECTIFICATION PROGRAMME UK” from the list and click continue
Now select the following:
Ediabas tick update box
INPA tick update box
NCS expert expert tick complete box
click continue
Tick the box “delete the old NCS expert “
Click install
double check that C:EDIABASBIN has been added to the path string in enviromental variables (right click my computer/properties/advanced/enviromental variables and select path in the list, click edit check its there and exit without changing anything)
That’s it. you should be done and ready to get diagnosing
Always use the SAME USB port on your laptop when using the software…
PS if you want to do recoding with NCS expert (highly doubtful like its in german and impossible) you need ignition sensing which you dont get with a Vagcom but you can flip the FDTI chip (FT232RL chipset) on the interface with Mprog software to fake the batt and ignition sensing so you can encode…
bmw inpa windows vista 32bit
here is my successful INPA install method for Vista (i have been told it works for WIN7 32 bit too)….
- Firstly again open up your £7 Vagcom interface by removing the 4 x phillips screws on it
Get yaself a fine soldering iron and with a blob of solder,solder pins 7 and 8 together on it and put it back together…
there is a myth you have to use com port 1 with INPA this is total cobblers! you can use any com port number you like as long as the INPA OBD.ini file port selection matches your actual com port setting on the vagcom interface you have set..
First things to do is Download the 326MB version of BMW INPA from a torrent site or anyware you can get it or just PM me If you want a known good working version to download, i have uploaded it zipped with WinRar with the FDTI drivers included just extract it to a folder on your machine…

inpa installation windows 7 32bit
This DIY was tested with Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 (SP1) running on a circa 2008 Lenovo S10 netbook with a K+DCAN cable from one stop electronics.com. My netbook is used solely for coding and as such this DIY assumes that your computer is dedicated to this purpose as well.
I recommend starting with a fresh 32-bit Windows 7 installation in order to collect the necessary INPA 5.0.2 configuration files that you will need after installing BMW Standard Tools 2.12. I suggest disabling Windows Update automatic updates during the Windows 7 installation process. After entering your product key, the following screen will pop up security message.
Select “Ask me later”, this will prevent Windows 7 from automatically installing any updates.
If your installing from pre-SP1 Windows 7 media, I highly recommend that you manually install two Microsoft updates:
System Update Readiness Tool (KB947821):
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl…s.aspx?id=3132
Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (KB976932):
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl…s.aspx?id=5842
During testing pre-SP1 Windows 7 no longer displayed a mouse pointer after successfully installing EDIABAS & WinKFP and rebooting the system.
INPA 5.0.2 can be found here:
Follow steps 2 through 6 of the installation guide. During the EDIABAS & WinKFP install (step 3), select Windows XP (this is not mentioned in the installation guide.) For all other selections, accept the default and click Weiter which is German for “further.”
The very first time you attempt to install EDIABAS & WinKFP (step 3), regsvr32 will fail to register two Windows ActiveX controls. This is normal, upon re-installation everything will work properly.
Click on OK and then click on the large red circle with a white X at the bottom of the screen to see the second regsvr32 error.
Click on OK to acknowledge the second error.
Press any key to exit the EDIABAS OBD setup program. Don’t be concerned about any registry key warnings, this installation of EDIABAS will never be used.
When prompted to reboot, select Nein for “No” and then click on Beenden or “End” to exit the installation program. Go to Control Panel and uninstall the program.
Once you have uninstalled the program, reinstall it. On the second attempt, the ActiveX controls will register properly.
This time, select Ja for “Yes” and reboot.
Even with SP1 installed, on occasion the system will no longer display a mouse pointer after rebooting the system at this point. If this happens, depress the Windows logo key (on some keyboards it may have an icon of a house instead) to display the Start menu. Depress the right arrow key once and then depress Enter to initiate a proper shutdown. When powered back on, the system should have a functional mouse pointer.
Continue with steps 4-6 in the installation guide.
At the completion of step 5, the Windows Program Compatibility Assistant may appear. Click on “This program installed correctly.”
At this point you could optionally install the latest EDIABAS/INPA update (ES-76) from FAL’s EA-90X distribution. I don’t recommend doing so as the latest INPA scripts are in German and not necessary for coding. Installation of the ES-76 update is outside of the scope of this DIY.
You now have the base INPA scripts and configuration files that you’ll need to get the latest version of INPA (5.0.6) up and running. Copy the the INPA CFGDAT and SGDAT folders to removable media for safe keeping. They are located in C:EC-APPSINPA.
If your curious, INPA 5.0.2 is operable at this point. If you were to install the K+DCAN drivers from Windows Update, set the cable to COM1, etc. the battery and ignition clamps are working properly.
That’s cool, but INPA 5.0.2 and friends are not totally compatible with the latest SP Daten files (i.e. 50.2), so let’s move on to installing BMW Standard Tools 2.12.
Links to BMW Standard Tools 2.12 and NCS Expert profiles can be found in this post:
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo…postcount=4476
SP Daten 50.2 can be found in this thread:
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=882353
Blow away your previous installation of Windows and start over with a fresh install. INPA 5.0.2 and friends made changes to the Windows registry, etc. Now that we have the two folders needed to bootstrap INPA 5.0.6, it’s best to reinstall Windows. If your installing from pre-SP1 Windows 7 media, don’t forget to install the System Update Readiness Tool (KB947821) and Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (KB976932.) In addition, because this will hopefully be your final re-installation of Windows I suggest that you manually install one additional Microsoft update:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl….aspx?id=40779
When the K+DCAN cable is initially plugged in, Windows will indicate that the device driver was not successfully installed.
Click on the white box circled above when it appears to change the driver update settings.
Click on “Change setting.”
Select “Always install the best driver software from Windows Update” then click on “Save Changes.”
Windows Update will install the latest FTDI drivers needed for the one stop electronics.com K+DCAN cable. Notice that the FTDI driver has defaulted to USB Serial Port COM3. You need to change this to COM1. Click on “Close.”
Click on the Windows Start button to display the Start menu. In the Start Search box type the following command and depress Enter to launch Device Manager:
Code:
mmc devmgmt.msc
When Device Manager opens, click on the arrow to the left of “Ports (COM & LPT)” to expand the Ports device tree. Double-click on “USB Serial Port (COM3)” to open the device properties.
Click on the “Port Settings” tab and then click on the “Advanced” button to display the Advanced Settings for COM3.
Change the COM Port Number to COM1 and the Latency Timer to 1 msec and click “OK.”
The USB Serial Port should be set to COM1. Close Device Manager.
Install BMW Standard Tools 2.12. Accept the defaults and click “Next.”
When prompted to select additional tasks, de-select the “Execute backup and restore wizard” selections under Data backup. You don’t have an existing installation of BMW Standard Tools to backup. Click “Next.”
Click “OK” to acknowledge that the backup wizard has been deactivated.
When the Hardware Interface Settings screen appears, select “USB to serial adapter” then click “Next.”
Click “Finish” to complete the BMW Standard Tools setup and restart your computer.
Please note: This section of the DIY could be improved for neophyte Windows users. It assumes that you understand command line syntax. In this context, X: denotes an unknown drive letter (i.e. the USB thumb drive that you saved your INPA CFGDAT and SGDAT folders to.) For example, if in Windows Explorer under Computer your USB thumb drive is denoted as Drive E:, then you should use E: instead.
Code:
C:Users808>copy E:CFGDAT*.ENG C:EC-APPSINPACFGDAT /v14 file(s) copied.
If you chose to store the CFGDAT folder in another folder named MyStuff, then you would have to include MyStuff in the source path.
Code:
C:Users808>copy E:MYSTUFFCFGDAT*.ENG C:EC-APPSINPACFGDAT /v14 file(s) copied.
The drive letter and path to the source file(s) is dependent on where you stored the files.
Click on the Windows Start button to display the Start menu. In the Start Search box type the following command. Right click on the Windows Command Processor (cmd) under Programs and select Run as administrator.
Code:
cmd
When the User Account Control dialog box appears, select Yes to allow the Windows Command Processor to make changes to your computer.
Copy the Windows ActiveX control MSFLXGRD.OCX to C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32 and manually register it.
Copy the Windows ActiveX control RICHTX32.OCX to C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32 and manually register it.
Overwrite the INPA initialization file in the C:EC-APPSINPACFGDAT folder with the INPA.INI from your saved CFGDAT folder.
Code:
C:>copy X:CFGDATINPA.INI C:EC-APPSINPACFGDAT /v /y1 file(s) copied.
Copy the INPA scripts and configuration files from your saved CFGDAT and SGDAT folders.
Code:
C:>copy X:CFGDAT*.ENG C:EC-APPSINPACFGDAT /v14 file(s) copied.C:>copy X:SGDAT*.IPO C:EC-APPSINPASGDAT /v468 file(s) copied.C:>copy X:SGDAT*.SRC C:EC-APPSINPASGDAT /v11 file(s) copied.C:>copy X:SGDAT*.TXT C:EC-APPSINPASGDAT /v2 file(s) copied.
Copy the group files from the SP Daten E89 folder to C:EDIABASECU.
Code:
C:>copy X:E89ECU*.GRP C:EDIABASECU /v80 file(s) copied.
Import your daten files into WinKFP using this guide (steps 2-8):
WinKFP Import.pdf
Create a C:NCSEXPERDATENE89 folder and copy the contents of the E89DATEN folder into it.
Code:
C:>mkdir C:NCSEXPERDATENE89C:>copy X:E89DATEN*.* C:NCSEXPERDATENE89 /v430 file(s) copied.
Copy the contents of the E89SGDAT folder to C:NCSEXPERSGDAT.
Code:
C:>copy X:E89SGDAT*.* C:NCSEXPERSGDAT /v224 file(s) copied.
Go to the E89DATEN directory and execute the LADEN.BAT script.
Code:
C:>cd X:E89DATENX:E89DATEN>laden.bat
You’ll receive errors at the end of the script due to the missing C:EC-APPSCARSERVER directory, ignore them.

- Buy a cable
I purchased a USB cable from china, it came with software but I didn’t use it and instead used online resources that I downloaded for which I’ll provide links. The cable I purchased is a USB to OBD2 connector that plugs into your BMW to the right hand side of the steering wheel, in the foot-well area.This is the specific cable that I purchased and that I can confirm works:
- Download the software
There are many sources on the internet for INPA/EDIABAS, some seem to work, others do not – I used these specific downloads and they worked perfectly:
** UNFORTUNATELY THE DOWNLOAD LINKS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE – BUT I WILL SEE WHAT I CAN DO **
If for any reason the above links are missing/broken, PM me and I’ll see what I can do. Thank you to whomever is hosting the above files and I hope that you do not mind me providing these links.
- Setup/Configure your OBD2 USB Cable
Put the DVD that arrived with the cable into the DVD drive on your PC.
Plug in the cable into a USB port on your computer, you must ONLY use this USB port from here-on for this cable. If your computer is connected to the internet it should automatically search and install in the USB cable drivers.

Reference:
bmw inpa windows 8
writing this to help others achieve INPA on their Windows 8.1 64bit laptop.
I’ve done it, verified it works.
FYI The installation of the first package will be in C: so you know
I’ll be hosting it on my dropbox for a little, if someone can mirror it, I would be grateful.
First download this INPA package.
Bmw Inpa K Can Software Download Torrent
unzip, go to programinstallationsetup.exe , run it in xp compatability mode press next all the way through then reboot
once rebooted go back into the unzipped folder, go to referenz2006 and then run the exe in that folder. choose english and then UK preferences , only update the first two. complete it.
No need for reboot
Next you need the e39.eng and e39.ger files to place in your INPACFGDAT
this is CFGDAT zip , take the e39.eng e39.ger from this and place it in the folder above.
here is the e39 sp daten files. replace the ECU folder in the ediabas folder , replace the daten CFGDAT and SGDAT in the NCSEXpert folder with the ones from the zip.
Go into INPACFGDAT and double click inpa.ini , change any of the lines you wish to represent which F button it corresponds with “E39” for all three lines . FYI our S62 engine is hidden nicely under shift + f9 for old models under e52. You can also use the e39 profile under Shift + f9 for old models if you don’t want to edit your INI file
Example :
F6 = E39
F6_Text = E39
F6_ARCHIV = SGBD_E39
save it close it run inpa enjoy!
Feedback needed incase i missed a step, thanks!
Edit: If i’m missing any files let me know, i sort of want to revive the whole INPA tutorials since there aren’t any written for 8.1

SOLVED…
just in-case someone else stumbles upon this with the same problem.
Check your settings, in device manager, set com port to 1 and latency to 1. check your ediabase.ini is set to Interface =STD:OBD
check your obd.ini is set to Port=Com1
Hardware=USB
then reboot. I had all those setting correct and the cable was communicating through IPNA. The reboot fixed it. the alpina b3 flash is the titties!
bmw inpa windows 10
Note: It’s a customer solution! Try on your own risk
install the drivers for INPA K+D-CAN cable (version with FTDI FT232RL chip only)
disconnect from the Internet because it is possible that the drivers are installed from Windows Update (if you want to use the latest home FTDICHIP then disconnect or reinstall)
why run the executable CDM 21216_setup.exe; It is compatible with 64-bit versions of Windows 7,
If necessary, you can download the latest version according to the OS on the site FTDICHIP
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
This is an interface / cable VCP (Virtual COM Port) so there are two features and therefore an installation in 2 phases if done manually
1 – Cable driver
2 – VCP driver
if using the automatic executable (.exe) offered on the site, then the 2 self install a result it’s easier and without going through the Device Manager =>
then plug the INPA cable into a USB port
NOTE WELL PORT IDENTIFY THIS CAR ALONE WILL WORK AFTER SETTING IT WILL THEREFORE ALWAYS CONNECT THE CABLE ON THE PORT
in Device Manager there will be a new entry: “COM and LPT ports” / sérial USB Port (COM3) eg for now
Then you must configure the port that will emulate the virtual COM port 9 (eg. Default for Ediabas 7.3 patched) but it’s tune to your install
Open Device Manager, choose COM Ports / USB serial port / port settings / advanced / set “COM 9” and the latency to “1”
finally install BMW Standard Tools, all versions are not compatible with win 7 and 64-bit architectures, so use the BMW STD Tools version 2.12, which includes a recent version INPA 5.0.6 and 7.3.0 Ediabas.
