How to Install BMW Standard Tools

This thread describes how I install and configure BMW Standard Tools, the suite of BMW software that includes INPA, NCS Expert, WinKFP, Tool32. I have my own custom way of doing this that is the shortest and simplest steps I could figure out. This set up is for E46 only.

What is needed?
– Windows 7, 8, 10, 11 laptop (32-bit or 64-bit), must have AC adapter plugged in
– K+DCAN cable with a switch, for example: Amazon.com: K+DCAN Cable with Switch
– Installer files from my Google Drive

What are the steps?
– Download the files
– Run the installer
– Replace the installed folders with ec-apps.zip
– Install the driver for the cable
– Test at the car

The following posts cover each step for Windows 10. Other Windows versions may be slightly different.

1. Download the files
– Use this link to access the BMW Standard Tools shared folder
– BMW Standard Tools – Google Drive
– Download all files in the shared folder

2. Run the Installer
These steps cover running the installer. You accept the defaults on each installer window except one where you uncheck the top two checkboxes. The following steps are for Windows 10.

– Open File Explorer and navigate to your Downloads folder.
– Right click on the BMW_Standard_Tools_Setup_2.12.0.exe file, and select Troubleshoot compatibility from the menu.
– Under Select troubleshooting option, click Try recommended settings
– Under Test compatibility settings for the program, click Test the program
– At the User Account Control pop-up window, click Yes
– After the installer launches, accept the defaults and click Next on each page except for the Select Additional Tasks page where you uncheck the top two boxes for Execute backup and restore wizard
– Continue until the installer gets to the end at the Completing the BMW Standard Tools Setup Wizard window, click Finish to reboot

3. Replace the installed folders with ec-apps.zip
After completing the installer and rebooting, we need to replace the folders created by the installer with those inside the ec-apps.zip file.
The installer creates all the folders and program files, but not the INPA scripts and required data files. The ec-apps.zip file contains the same files and folders the installer puts down, but I’ve added the INPA scripts and imported the data files in all the right places.

– Delete the following folders and all the files inside them
– C:\EC-APPS
– C:\EDIABAS
– C:\Entwicklungsdaten
– C:\NCSEXPER
– C:\NFS-Backup
– Extract ec-apps.zip into C:\ so that the following folders are created
– C:\EC-APPS
– C:\EDIABAS
– C:\NCSEXPER

4. Install driver for cable

– Open Device Manager
– Plug in the K+DCAN cable
– Wait a few minutes for Windows to automatically install the driver
– If it succeeds, you’ll see a USB Serial Port (COM1) item under the Ports section
– Sometimes Windows fails to install the driver. In that case, extract the CDM21228_Setup.zip file and then run the CDM21228_Setup.exe program accepting all defaults to complete driver installation.
– Verify the COM port shown is COM1. If not, change it to COM1.
– Or, if you cannot change it to COM1, edit the C:\EDIABAS\BIN\obd.ini file and change the COM port number at the top to match what Device Manager has for the cable. Those two must always match!
Cable under Ports in Device Manager

COM port setting in obd.ini file

5. Test at the car

– Connect the K+DCAN cable to the car and laptop
– Turn ignition key to position 2 (run)
– Turn off all accessories, such as radio, lights, etc.
– Start INPA by double-clicking its desktop shortcut.
– Verify there are two solid black circles at the top of the main screen.
– If they are empty circles, INPA hasn’t connected to the car. Verify the COM port of the cable and in the obd.ini file are the same.

Common INPA errors
If you see these errors when running INPA, you can safely ignore them.

How to Use BMW EF Scanner Read BMW ISN Code for CAS1-3+

This article show a guide on how to use bmw diagnostic tool E/F Scanner to read BMW ISN coding for BMW CAS1-CAS3+ system.

BMW E/F Scanner Interface:

V2018.12 BMW E/F Scanner II Full Version (Recommend)
2013.07V E/F SCANNER For BMW

The BMW Explorer program has a possibility of reading a code of synchronization of ISN (all versions of CAS1 CAS2 CAS3 CAS3+).

Go to the CAS control unit, “Additional functions”, “Reading ISN”

In the opened window ISN will be displayed.

If the machine is equipped with the EWS3 system where 2 bytes of the constant part and the change are used, it will be displayed in the window 2 bytes of ISN DME (the upper 3 windows will be empty), if necessary they can be changed.

If the machine uses the EWS4 system, then 16 bytes of constant synchronization are used and there is no variable part.

Also after 2006, CAS3 uses an anti-theft code for EGS

If there is an EWS3 system in the car, then this code is the same with the engine control unit, if the machine already has an EWS4 system, then EGS uses separate 2 bytes

The program is in place of the engine ISN, it will display the gearbox code .. as in the picture below

BMW E-sys vs BMW Carly vs BimmerCode

BMW Esys vs Carly vs BimmerCode

Esys vs Carly

Carly: not for coding; E sys: coding success

I have been using Carly on my F30 for over a year, but not for coding, as that’s still not supported on Android. Carly can read and clear diagnostic codes and a host of other things that E-Sys isn’t meant to do. I recommend going to their website and checking on its capabilities there. From what they’ve told me, their F-chassis coding will probably be limited to the KOMBI module (dashboard items), but it may expand to include HU-ENTRY/CIC/NBT/NBT2 and FEM_BODY in the future.

It’s a simple connect (via their BT adapter), read coding data, select features to activate or deactivate (or change values), then push back into the module. Same as E-Sys but with a much more simplified interface. It allows you to save the module coding data as a backup, just like E-Sys. It worked great for coding on E-chassis cars, so I’m hoping it will be the same for F-Chassis, although they’ve had quite a bit of time to get things working and so far, coding with Android still isn’t fully tested yet. I’ve since used E-Sys for coding my F30 and the wife’s F23.

BMW E-Sys works better than Carly app in Fxx coding

I used Carly for my wife’s previous E88 128 convertible and it worked great – no having to do one item at a time, etc. Not quite sure what the problem is with the F-cars, because the principle is the same – read coding data, modify, write coding data. Apparently the new “network” and whatever read/write protocol that implies is far different than the CANbus of the E-series cars.

By comparison, E-Sys has improved vastly over the past year or two and coding both my F30 and the wife’s new F23 was relatively easy, particularly since you can save the coding data, disconnect, take the computer inside to do the modifications on a copy of the saved data, then reconnect and push the data back using the modified file. No more sitting in the car searching for the feature to be coded while the engine’s idling.

Carly adapter– Bluetooth; E sys ENET cable– Ethernet to OBD

Actually, the Carly adapter is Bluetooth. E-Sys looks for a connection via the ethernet port on your laptop. It won’t recognize BT at all – at least, I’ve not been able to make it do so. If your laptop doesn’t have an ethernet/RJ45 connector, you’ll need to find a device that does. Pretty sure that you can’t use a USB-to-ethernet adapter, either.

BimmerCode vs Esys

Bimmercode plus vgate = ￡50 (roughly)
E-sys + pro launcher = $50 for 2.5 years

BimmerCode for quick convenience
ESys for fully featured use.

PSdZData is for use with E_Sys, which is for F/G/I Series cars only. For E-Series cars, the tools are all different, different software, and different cable.
