Fits E30, but didn’t work with my scanner
Didn’t work with my E30 BMW, but fit perfect. Probably was my scanner.

Required on some BMW models even if they have an OBD2 port!
I was desperately trying to get my Foxwell scanner to work on my 2000 X5. I could read engine codes from the OBD2 port but the scanner was not able to speak to the other modules even though it said it supported my BMW. I was baffled as to why it could see the CEL codes but not SRS/SAS/etc.....Turns out...Some BMW's were fitted with BOTH the OBD2 port *and* the "PacMan" port located in the engine bay! Seriously? Yup...AND....BMW only does diagnostic from the 20 pin PacMan port so reading codes from the OBD2 port is impossible. So much frustration but this little conversion adapter helped me read the SRS codes and ABS codes to diagnose and clear codes. This is a must-have for the early model BMW's but be sure to understand that some models have BOTH ports and if you are trying to read non engine codes, this is the only way to do it.I did read on the forums that everyone agrees that the PacMan port should be the ONLY port used for all purposes and never use the OBD2 port even when smogging your vehicle. Makes sense because I always have a problem with the smog station trying to read my VIN but now I no longer have that issue.

Plug and play with my Harbor Freight diag tool
I got this because I picked up a 99 e36 vert with the CEL on… reset every thing and got it down to 1 code out of the 5 original. I have a laptop with a few software options, and BimmerGeeks ProTool (normally for my wife’s e70) as a backup plan to my normally used Harbor Freight reader that’s been working well so far. Again, it’s beem useful to me on all platforms, so I give this 5 stars.

Works fine
Some of the older cars will not allow you to read certain modules frim OBD port and you will need this to get to them
