Best OBD2 laptop software for BMW?

[Fast.asleep]

I'm looking to get into scanning my 2009 128i. As a techie I want to go the laptop route.

I've read about INPA, Toolset32 etc. What is the preferred software for our cars?

Hi,
have you found any software yet?

I am also around looking for some software that I can use..

I purchased this cable: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/221418264572

Nothing yet. Either few people use laptop software for there cars or no one posts in this section

I personally use BMWHAT. I did look into the diy solution first - just looked like more work than I wanted. There is lots of info on BMW Coding .com

Hey JTB,
what can you do with the BMWHAT?

The Bavarian Technic one looks good but pricy, http://www.bavariantechnic.com/Condi...edService.aspx

I guess the name changed to mycarly since I last used it. Fair amount of functionality. Missing a couple things I would like and they charge an additional $10 for registering a new battery which is a little irritating for a $45 app. It does work and is easy to use.

That's what you're looking for. Full diagnostics, coding, etc.

The android based MHD flasher app has basic fault code reading/clearing functionality - aside from the performance tuning which is what it's intended for...

The standard set of software used by most is the NCS-Expert, EDIABAS & INPA. All 3 are windows based.

Hi ccdre,
are all 3 windows software free? I hope that the cable that I ordered will work: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/221418264572

K+DCAN will work. As to being free.. umm, ebay vendors for the purchased cable generally supply a download link. I'm not so sure the software is properly licensed at that point - if that answers your question.

Thank you!.
I just received my cable and will test the software in the next few days!

Any one use BMWLogger? I tried to use it to register a battery but it keeps saying cannot connect to DME even though it recognizes my K+DCAN cable and the ignition is on.
