My battery is a bit iffy, it shuts down the radio after about 3 mins after stopping engine with a yellow battery light on the dash. I'm going for the charger option personally haha

This has been a good thread and I've appreciated opinions and thoughts from all angles.

Sorry to revive an old thread but out of curiosity what year is your 1er? I have a April build 09 and the cable you linked says it only works up too 2008 bmws. Wondering if you have an 08 or 09+. Not trying to spent $100 on a BMW INPA / Ediabas K+DCAN when a lot of people are using the cable you linked below for less than $25 shipped . Please let me know if you think it'll work for my car .

With tuning these guys have helped me heaps getting my car right

If you want local tuning talk to JD75 aka justin@advan

If you are experienced home tuner and know how to do your own logs, read logs and do fine adjustments talk to Trebila

http://www.1addicts.com/forums/member.php?u=206175

Before any flashing make sure you have a charger, these are the best and on special atm on ebay

Make sure your jb4 (if running one) is always

on Map 0 before flashing or it will corrupt your dme.

There is a fix for people with the white boards to get your cable working I haven't tested it myself but other people say it works

I have the files to do it just haven't got a non working cable to try and see if the fix
works if someone in Sydney has one that doesn't work I would love to borrow it and
see if I can fix them and do a full write up

Any volunteers are willing to give me a non working cable ?

on an android tablet from the link provided you don't have to install any drivers, its
all plug and play

Everything works straight out of the box

The only software you have to download is the MHD software and pay for the licence to use it.

Here you go, these are untested by me.

I hold no responsibility if something goes wrong.

Use at your own risk

I cant give instructions how to do it as I haven't done one yet

The are some jpg's in the download that show you how to do it.

Thanks. Actually, I've had this soft. Sometimes it helps with WORKING cables . Unfortunately, most white board cables hv deeper problem - in order to make it work, Almtel chip must be re-flashed. (Like BIOS on motherboards).
Chineese guys often flash it with wrong parameters. (frequency and divider as I remember).
In order to flash - you need programmer and some knowlwdge - basically google helps..
Actually, it's easier to buy new one (if U hv not done it before)..
Basically, it COULD BE possible to flash right paramenters without programmer - so special utility from manufacture needed . The problem is that in order to flash - you hv to set +5V at the PIN .
This cable probably lacks this feature (erase and put flash in writeable state).

Thank you anyway.

I still have dramas with mine. Even with charger connected the OBD port shuts down about 2-3mins into a read. The light goes off the cable and the app just sits there. Tried on 2 android devices same issue. Green board cable from the first post and the otg cable from the first link as well

I can't win with this

Thanks Marty for compiling the "parts list" to use with MHD. Got the Lenovo tablet today and was just about to pay for the cables and cover on eBay when I decided to check the thread again.

Spectral can you let us know what device(s) you are using that didn't work with the dcan cable.

You must have a dodgy battery or the charger is not strong enough.

Make sure you turn everything off

Lights, stereo is on mute, navigation is turned off.

Make sure your battery is fully charged.

Turn your charger off and wait 30 sec, then turn back on again

Try to do a read when the charger is on bulk charge.


I ordered 3 of those cables and they all work on the Lenovo tablet

JD75 is using one on his Samsung phone

On the Lenovo tablet the read takes less than 10 seconds.

There must be something wrong with the phones your using.
