Needed to program my 2006 325i. Found out I needed one of these cables and this was the one I decided on.

Cable hasn’t failed my yet. Done multiple programmings and coding of modules, never once have had an issue with the cable dropping connection.

Cable itself seems well designed and sturdy, the connectors have good strain relief and don’t seem like they’d break at all from normal use.

Works Great for 2007 BMW 335xi (N54).

Used it to install xhp TCU Stage 3 Flash and MHD Stage 1 tune with no issues.

Also used to monitor via MHD monitoring package, and all worked flawlessly, and car now performs amazingly.

xhp TCU:

backup = ~30mins

install = ~7mins

flash = ~1.5mins

MHD :

install = ~15mins

flash = ~2mins

Came with amazon prime next day shipping. Literally ordered the cables 24hours ago and now have a xhp stage 3 transmission flash and MHD OTS stage 1 tune, which woke up the 335xi to a whole different level. Also works with MHD datalogging.

*Note: I had a battery charger connected and 2amp trickle charge during all flashing procedures.*

I also bought:

(UGREEN USB C OTG cable) along with the K+DCAN OBD cable which also came next day with the K+DCAN OBD cable

As another reviewer mentioned, when flashing with my particular model of BMW the switch on the cable is set all the way to the right.

All flashing done with a Galaxy Note 9 + above mentioned UGREEN USB C OTG cable + this K+DCAN OBD Cable.

Does not work due to poor quality. Sends intermittent signal which disrupts communication between the BMW and laptop. Software which came with it is very old and not useable at all. I wish I have tried it before 30 days so I could return it. Complete waste of money!!!

Been using this cable for years on multiple BMWs. No issues

Cable works great, software install sucked. There was a install guide document on the root of the cd that they had sent. Unfortunately following it did not install INPA which is all I needed. With some manual moving files over I have INPA working. However one thing that is not well documented is the switch on the cable. e46 and earlier switch all the way to the left. All the way to the right for newer bimmers. Still a decent value.

Got it work with INPA and ISTA, but didnt use the cd that came with it. For older models you would also need 20pin adapter for it. There are instructions how to get inpa and ista online . but the cable also doesn't explain what position switch is for 7 and 8 pin connected and which is not. on mine it seems to be far right position. Buy this if you know what you are doing. Avoid if you don't. If all you need is a simple diagnostic tool get bluetooth obd reader and torque app

Worked pretty well in the first couple of months but degraded afterwards. Now inpa spits out errors and the cable cannot read all modules consistently. Save your money and purchase the bimmergeeks one from the get go if you plan to do more than just MHD and XHP flashes.

The cable worked on windows 10. That’s all that matters. The only issue was that there was not really any instructions on how to install it. The provided CD had the drivers and you had to search on the CD to install 2 missing USB devices on the device manager. Then you setup you com ports (I used com 3) and setup your ini files. I didn’t use the software on the CD. It’s not plug and play so I’m sure a few of people will give 1 star since they won’t know what they’re doing.

I used BimmerGeeks Standard Tools on a Windows 10 VM on my Dell 5530 laptop running Ubuntu Linux and this cable. Setup was pretty straightforward (using BimmerGeeks 'Install Instructions.txt' file) and was able to connect after a little experimenting. Did not have much luck with the included software disk. The cable switch did not seem to matter on this setup for the E46 (2001 BMW 330Ci), but ended up with the switch to the left looking at the plug with the cable at the bottom. You get some error messages from the software which can be ignored, these threw me at first thinking it was the cable, but turns out things like language or version errors can be ignored, and if you see "no controller response" it means that the part doesn't exist, nothing wrong with the cable. I was able to successfully diagnose, replace and verify the DSC module on my car.

Using the software, my engine is an M54 but I had to select M43 since M54 was not an option. For the DSC I selected Chassis, then DSCMK60. Press F1 for info, F4 for errors, and F5 to drill down to wheel sensors, DSC (steering angle, yaw rate, etc) and so on. Some nifty information there from the sensors while driving is pretty cool.

All in all, not the greatest software, especially with the annoying language and version errors, but it's usable. Cable is fine, works as advertised and seems to be well made. Would recommend getting it.

This cable is non functional and connectivity issues to the software.

This cable may please be taken back and amount refunded back asap.

i can buy something else out of this money.

Worked well will bimmer link and bimmercode

cant be happier... bricked my DME one time already bc of not knowing what i was doing..but i since then have got it back going and have made a backup on another MS43 DME one is my stock bin (0037) the other is 0069 which is what im running now. i believe 0037 has a little more UMPH in my opinion but i dont wish to fight EWS to pair it back at this time. just google mikes easy BMW tools and youll have all you need. follow the instructions as well. cant go wrong with this cable E46 2001 330ci if anyone is curious. again, flashes DME, modules, works with CARLEY as well!!!!!!!!

This cable comes with an unlabeled CDROM containing Windows drivers and software. While my PC could read the folder list on the CD it could not read most of the actual files, including the drivers. I tried it on another PC with the same result. The CD surface looked very scuffed so may have been a previous return.
