This should be the socket that I plugged the adapter intoĭoes that mean i need to run the patch so that the ADS driver would point to the PCMCIA adapter? There is another item 'PCMCIA adapters', under that with 'Texas Instrument PCI 1520 cardbus controller'

The adapter reads 'High speed communication port (COM26)' in the device manager under the item 'Ports (COM & LPT)' I hv bought a PCMCIA->RS232 adapter and also an ADS interface Thanks very much, very pleased to get ADS working on my laptop :) at 12:16 AM Jaroslav Klíma said.Īvusm3: I'm glad to hear that - what programs are you using? Any luck with NCS expert?īorre: I don't think anyone tried an ExpressCard yet, but it should work if the virtual COM port has an I/O address. NET framework 2.0 is needed to run this software. Works using ADS and cheap PCMCIA serial card from ebay on e36 m3. Sorry if my comment gets doubled but Blogger screwed them up at 3:56 PM avusm3 said. What about PC ExpressCard? Is it working as well, having in mind that it is pretty much newer version of the PCMCIA, right?ĭo you know anything about COM port via ExpressCard? Has anybody tested this? I mean the ExpressCard standard pretty much replaces the PCMCIA one, right? Manufacturer of the PCMCIA card shoul be irrelevant as long as the virtual COM port has an I/O address (unlike USB devices) at 1:01 AM Anonymous said. It would be good to add also producers and symbols of PCMCIA cards which passed test. Lifetime warranty - if it ever stops working for any reason, send it back and have it repaired for the cost of shipping.Your solution of using PCMCIAto work with ADS is very interesting. It is up to you to provide the software and to know how to use it and this interface.

USB and some PCMCIA serial ports will NOT work. (E36, E38, E32, etc.)Įdiabas.ini must be configured with 'interface = ADS' rather than 'interface = STD:OBD' to use this interface.Īs with any ADS interface, a 'real' serial port is required to use BMW's software with this interface. It is compatible with BMW's original ADS interface and will work with all vehicles and software which BMW's interface worked with. It is ready to use out-of-the-box with INPA, DIS, etc.Ĭomes with 3 meter serial cable attached. It comes fully assembled and housed inside the 20-pin ADS connector. This auction is for one Tiny ADS Interface with 20-pin connector. Specifications and all other information, including schematics and design files, can be found here Great build quality and in a perfect condition. Bought this last year for the E36 from the US, used it once or twice and was able to pull error codes with INPA.
