USB OBD2 Diagnostic Cable for BMW INPA Ediabas with K+DCAN and D-CAN Support
This USB OBD2 interface cable is built for BMW diagnostics using INPA and Ediabas software. It provides full diagnostic access to BMW vehicles from 1998 to 2008, matching the functions of an OMNITEC interface. The cable incorporates two lines, K and D-CAN, allowing communication with multiple BMW protocols. It reads and deletes error codes, performs adaptations, supports driver programming and enables coding. For vehicles from 1995 to 1998, no K-line is required. From 1998 to 03/2008, it covers all models. The interface works with fast D-CAN and PT-CAN at 500 kbit/s, slow K-CAN at 100 kbit/s, and the standard BMW OBD interface. The package includes the cable and a CD driver, with colour options including BMW INPA KCAN Cable, FT232RL and ZYHINPAL.
Features and Construction
The cable is constructed with two diagnostic lines, K and D-CAN, to support a wide range of BMW electronic systems.
