FS: PASOFT BMW SCANNER 1.4

Yep - after some consideration I have decided NOT to mess with trying to get my main Win 7 laptop (ThinkPad T520) to work and fiddle with VM and all that. (I like this main laptop way too much to risk), and just get an old Win XP laptop from Ebay or amazon. That way, the set up should be straightforward.

If I get a laptop set up with XP and is proven to work well, I would also be willing to let Mafia members borrow it, too.

I did find this on E46f on how to get Win 7 to work, but just reading it and some people getting BSODs with this trick just doesn't sound comforting.

Has anyone from the latest group that got the scanners work with them / tested them yet?

Hey, Thanks for the offer., and I may contact you, sir. Very kind of you.
Was this on a Win 7 ? and have you successfully coded some stuff already?
Thanks again!

Windows 7 Professional. My Dell desktop has Windows XP.

ugh - ok.
I am / was hoping at least with win xp this would be a smooth process.
If you PM tony, let me know what suggestions he has. (for XP).

No problem. Yes, the laptop I used had Windows 7, and have coded stuff successfully (except for trying to change the service interval, it didn't like that). Since it sounds like you're trying to run it on Windows XP I'm sure Tony has a way to get it to work there as well. Probably pretty similar.

Is it possible to activate rear foglights with PAsoft?

I think that requires LCM 4.0. Someone else that knows more will probably chime in though.

I believe there is a screen for rear fogs off the top of my head. I believe all you need is a faceplate with rear fogs. I coded this via ncsexpert.

Sorry about any delays. Work has me super busy with over 50 hours a week and little sleep/rest to do anything else. All packages has been shipped and should be arriving soon. I do have tracking on them however I can't seem to find the slips. Thank you for being patient.

Got a not too old ThinkPad R61 in great condition with Win XP sp3 from eBay for $90
2.2 Ghz and 2GB ram - should be ok - I can always add more RAM I guess.
Should be arriving by Saturday ... Excited to start playing with PA soft

This will be my dedicated coding / diagnostics laptop.

I would PM him. Tony seems to do them in batches.

Got the coding laptop today:
( Lenovo R 61 with XP)- 2.2 Ghz Intel and 4 GB RAM ( and no dreaded Nvidia graphics)
14.1" WXVGA screen, Bluetooth and even fingerprint reader!

Will try to setup PA soft soon


Setting up and configuring the laptop to my taste right now
... It's in amazing condition and pretty snappy as the XP was a fresh install

Yeah I'm a little late to the coding/scanning game here. That's what happens when you're best friends with the owner of Eurocharged and the owner of iND.

Not to mention I haven't owned a windows PC since I was in 6th grade (about 25 years ago)

Tony you get my PM?


GoingHAM mobile

You have a tracking for me?
I paid already
Thanks

Ok where are some instructions for Win XP (SP3)? have PM'd Toni and got a folder which contains drivers etc but I am at a loss still on how to proceed.
Do I still need the CD that came with the coding dongle?

Can someone who has installed this software using WINDOWS XP (SERVICE PACK 3) please chime in?

Thanks in advance.

Wish I could help. You can ask BP likely


GoingHAM mobile

I think there are instructions. The CD contains the drivers for the device. Usually 2 ways, either install the drivers then connect the device, or some connect the device, then the system ask for the drivers, and you then point to the CD directory with them. I think this install is the latter. Tony was great with tech support, so I'm sure when he's available he'll help out.

Guess this is the way to go ??
(I guess after the initial program installation, dude must be plugging in the dongle, which is NOT shown, and then goes back and loads drivers?)
All this I am assuming, can be done withOUT plugging anything into the car with Win XP?

Got mine, thanks.

Says drivers are installed but when I plug it into the car it won't go from yellow to green telling me the scanner is plugged in. Wtf?


GoingHAM mobile

Got mine also, have not plugged it in, going to connect it on Friday.

Any good ideas on "must have" coding options?

I took a look around the first post in this thread. Tony lists a lot of good things (convenience unlock, turn on/off DRLs, recoding the temp gauge to be more accurate, etc).

Win7

It's BPs old laptop and I know it works since he was using it.


GoingHAM mobile

When you go into windows device manager, are there any exclamation points on any devices?
Key on in second position?

Yes when plugged in it has an exhumation point next to it saying missing drivers.


GoingHAM mobile

BP included the drivers for it since I don't have a disc drive but I don't know how to install them lol


GoingHAM mobile

You can probably go to PA SOFT webpage and download drivers from there to a usb stick or just the desktop and load it from there ?


Sent from my NOT bent iPhone 6 using Tapatalk

Problem is I'm retarded with PC/Windows so I have no idea what I'm doing or how to install drivers. All the drivers are there, BP preloaded them, just don't know how to connect both ends so to speak. When I try troubleshooting the device it searches for drivers but can't find them.


GoingHAM mobile

Do you know where bp saved the drivers to? As in where is the folder containing the drivers located on the pc ?


Sent from my NOT bent iPhone 6 using Tapatalk

Ya it's all in the PA soft folder


GoingHAM mobile

I think you probably have to " point " the device manager when it's asking to locate the drivers - I would not let it search for drivers automatically but when you connect the dongle choose the manual option from the pop up box and point it manually to that folder so the program can find them and let it install from there
Look at the video I posted a few posts ago - although it's for XP the process for windows 7 might be similar

The one thing I don't have is the install app
