The "VIN Auto-detection" works well with all Z3's. This is an all cars, all modules scanner. This works for Z3's built 03/98 and later. You can then select the module on the scanner accordingly. If you are unsure about compatibility of your module, look up your module in and hit the part number to drill down to the E36 models where it is used. The early Z3 modules are common with the early E36's. Select "Yes" and you can now select the module you want to scan and it will do it with OBD1/ADS. Right at the beginning it asks you if the car is built before 03/98. Go to the E36 section in the scanner (the Z3 is a E36/7 after all). For OBD1/ADS modules/cars you need to be smarter than the average bear. The Z3 listings in the scanner only starts at build date 03/98. Its compatibility page lists a wide range of early BMW's like E30 and E36, so it talks OBD1/ADS as well as OBD2. I purchased this scanner so that I could talk to early model Z3's with OBD1/ADS modules and it works. Runs really well and only talks to OBD2 modules/cars.

I run INPA on a Windows 10 Surface Pro with a USB2 connector. USB3 connections sometimes give problems, don't know why yet. This is the most common setup found on the Z3 and E46 forums. You buy the FTDI FT232RL lead and 20 pin adapter, but due to using a USB lead, it will only talk OBD2. INPA loads up OK on windows up to windows 10.

Most people, buy or have an old laptop without a true serial port, but with a USB connection.

The INPA software pack also includes the software tools needed to do the coding.

If you have to replace one of the modules on your pre 03/98 Z3, then this is the setup you need to code the new module to your car. Once you have your laptop with a true serial port, you need an ADS adapter. There is something about the serial handshakes that the modern leads do not do that stops the OBD1/ADS signal from getting through. But how ever you do it, a true serial port is needed.Ī modern smart USB to serial lead does not work. Some people get around this by having an old docking station with a true serial port in it. To talk to OBD1/ADS cars/modules, you need a very old laptop with a true serial (com 1) port. Still looking for a link to post here in future edits. I don't have the information to hand to do that. If you want to set INPA up to talk OBD1/ADS, then you need to change the config files. This software is all set up to talk OBD2 through the USB port. It will also talk to OBD2 cars/modules as well. It will talk to all early model BMW's like E30, E36 and others These early model cars talk OBD1/ADS to the cars/modules. It is very detailed and can talk to all modules in the car. It was designed talk to many BMW platforms. There are two parts to setting up a INPA diagnostic kit. What's why I'm saying to use a Good scanner with BMW software is needed. Note: Most OBD2 scanners can only read the engine DME and not read the other BMW Z3 modules. 03/98 and later Z3's only need a good scanner with BMW software to talk OBD2 to all modules. Pre 03/98 Z3's will need a good scanner with BMW software that can talk OBD1/ADS and OBD2 to talk to all modules. An adapter lead is often needed to convert from the OBD2 to the 20 pin plug. This port will allow access to all modules including the engine DME. Sometimes called the Pac-Man port due to the shape of the center pin. As its an OBD2 port, any OBD2 scanner will work.Īll Z3's have the 20 pin round port under the bonnet/hood. If you have a OBD2 port under the steering wheel (some very early Z3's don't), then this port is for scanning the engine computer (DME) only. Please feel free to add a review of your scanner that can also read the early Z3's. This "How To" will cover two ways to scan the pre 03/98 non M Z3's.
Don't know about the Euro S50 Z3M's, it might be the same? Seem that the USA S52 Z3M's had ADS for the ABS and Instrument cluster up to the year 2000. 03/98 and later, the non M Z3's have all OBD2 modules. This is because before 03/98, the Z3 has a mix of OBD1/ADS and OBD2 modules.
Many people who own a pre 03/98 build date non M Z3's find it hard to scan any modules other than the engine computer (DME).
