for BMW Scanner 1.4.0 V1.4 Diagnostic Code Reader for E38 E39 E46 E53 (Must Work with Windows XP)

Worked great, was easy to install and setup, was able to reset the mileage in my e39 540i's LCM and the tamper dot went away (after a few cycles of the key).

Great for older Bimmers. Amazing value for the price. I was able to reprogram a locked MRSZ4 module after it gave me an error 240. My E39 had a DSC error and airbag light. DSC required the steering angle sensor adaptation which is done in LEW module which the tool performed with no issue and the MRS needed a clean BIN file which I was able to upload into the unit and adjust it's programming. No lights on the dash now. Tool is super easy to install if you follow the installation guide which you can find on the CD. I am very happy with it.

I got this scanner and proceeded to install it on an old Windows XP machine. The first thing to be said: the description of the scanner says it will ONLY run in XP, but that is not true. With a little search on the web, you can find drivers to make it run on W10, making it more convenient. I was able to reload it on my W10 machine (do a search for BMW SCANNER 1.4 windows 10 drivers, not that complicated). The hardware is fine, although a bit fragile. You need to make sure you treat it with care. After installation, it is quite powerful and it runs a lot of diagnostics for a lot of BMW's, although not the latest models. It comes with NO USERS' MANUAL, so you need to try it by yourself, but there are some good videos online. All in all, it is much more powerful than most standalone diagnostic tools and for the price, it can't be beat. A good purchase if you do not mind spending some time setting it up.

This tool has a lot of capabilities for older bmws. The scanner can with the disk, install wasn’t too bad. Got drivers for windows 10. Pins 7&8 were already soldered which is nice. Overall worked great

Worked perfectly. Used on a 2003 BMW M3 to program LCM. To have it properly read all vehicle modules you must solder ports 1&2 and 7&8 (clearly labeled on the inside of the adaptor). I am terrible at soldering, but was able to do it and the unit read all modules easily. Operating system: Windows 10 (with a little effort). This video shows everything you need to do to get windows 10 to work with the drivers for the device: https://youtu.be/bZLhlfDmmog Software: I did download drivers separately, but the device already comes with a CD that contains them (I was mainly just following the above tutorial step by step). The BMW Scanner software that comes with this (otherwise known as PA Soft 1.4) works flawlessly and I was able to both read error codes and program (with the above physical modifications to the device, otherwise it will only read the engine DME. I believe this is only needed on M3s though). Overall, for 20 bucks versus the cost of PA Soft w/ scanner ($650), this unit is WELL worth it if you’re willing to fiddle with it.

Piece of garbage! If you love being very frustrated, then this is perfect for you. You get the device, a USB, a tiny disc, and no instructions. Shouldn't be that hard I thought, put in the disc, run the installer, done. NOPE. The read me file links to a few forums that talk about how difficult and all the problems this device has when installing. I followed the instructions online to a T. Still doesn't work. I installed windows xp on my laptop thinking it must be my OS that's the problem. NOPE, still doesn't work. I double checked to make sure my car is supported, no problems there. Try it again on windows 7. Still no dice. I took the device out to my car, reading somewhere that the device had to be plugged in and the car on. Still nothing. Tried it again on windows XP, not even close. In the end I say screw it! I don't know how the few people magically got it to run. But I'm a computer IT support tech, and hours later I still can't get it to work. I'll take another crack at it tomorrow but this might be a return and call the company that sells it to let them know what I really think!

Works great for my 04 325i

I had one bad experience after another with this product. I contact QiNaiSi through Amazon and I immediately received a response. They helped me through every trouble I have had. Extremely customer friendly! That's why I chose to continue with this product. I was glad everything had worked out. Dropped this product off and then chirped out, Today was like one of those fly dreams. Didn't even see another car flashin' those high beams. No helicopter lookin' for a Taco. Two in the mornin', got the Fatburger. Even saw the lights of the Goodyear Blimp And it read, "QiNaiSi has the Drip!" (Yeah)

Works well once you experiment a bit with various unsigned drivers and get Windows to install them.

Worked flawlessly for my Laptop running BMW Scanner software to edit modules on my BMW e39 530i

Faulty chip - Tried on four different PCs from winxp to win7 to win11. On every one it stated 'No device descriptor supplied.' Ordered one for half the price from AliExpress which worked straight away on all the same PCs. Was not worth the cost or hassle to try to return the cable. Hopefully mine was just a faulty unit and others have no problems.

Works great! Price point is awsome for what you get.

I managed to get this cable working with the software and drivers installed on a fully updated Windows 10 (version 1909) MS Surface. You will need to be patient and willing to try and try again. And then again. I read a lot of install guides (many of them outdated and contradicting each other) but in the end the 'release-bmw-scanner-inpa-drivers-for-windows-10-dummy-friendly-installation-guide' thread in e46fanatics worked for me (drivers and very good instructions are available via this guide). In the online forums, there is much talk about soldering odb2 pins 7 & 8 and (less often) pins 1 & 2. This product shipped with 7 & 8 already soldered, and I did end up soldering pins 1 & 2 as well (in one of my many attempts to troubleshoot this thing) but I don't think 1 & 2 made any difference one way or the other. For me, the final roadblock was that I have two odb ports in my vehicle. I have the odb2 port under the steering column which I plugged this cable into (expected), but I also have an obd port under my hood (unexpected!). If you have a similar setup you *MUST* insert jumper/short wires as per instructions also found in various forums. This resolved the 'Connection error with IKE and EWS' issues and suddenly everything worked. Very satisfying.
