BMW Carsoft 6.5 everything you should know to make it work
Carsoft is an On board Diagnostic system, it is well known in the BMW community.
What you need:
- a Laptop with a serial port
- or a laptop with an expresscard serial port adapter (10$USD from china on ebay)
-Carsoft OBD2 & BMW 20-pin interface from ebay for about 40$USD(shipping included)
-Soldering iron (probably)
*Important: if you use a usb to serial cable carsoft wont work and you will get a bad connection error!*
If you have already installed carsoft and it crashes uninstall it using this tutorial
You are going to need to download bmw carsoft interface, I'm not gonna give the link but search it on google.
1- install carsoft from the CD you received with your carsoft interface CD/BMW6.5/setup(.exe)
2-Follow the instructions
3-Install BMWv65SP01ENG (From the Carsoft + SP1 folder you downloaded) which will search out and install to the CARSOFT/BMW Folder that has been copied to your hard drive.
4-Open the CRACKS Folder (From the Carsoft + SP1 folder you downloaded) and copy ALL of the files contained in the Folder (including Instructions) to the BMW folder located in the newly created CARSOFT program Folder on your Hard Drive. The easiest way to accomplish this is firstly to open the CRACKS Folder then left click on the first file it contains and then each subsequent file whilst holding down the SHIFT key until ALL of the files are highlighted, then choose COPY THESE FILES and when the Dialogue Box pops up, locate the BMW folder in the newly installed CARSOFT folder on your Hard Drive, left click on it and then click on the COPY button.
5-Once this process has been completed, use the EXPLORE function to view the files in the BMW Folder of the newly installed CARSOFT Program. There will be 2 files with 6.5 Icons, labelled CARSOFT and CARSOFTBMW65. Delete the CARSOFT file and re-name CARSOFTBMW65 as CARSOFT.
6- Restart your system
(Step 3 to 5 are from David Mc original post)
Now you have a carsoft 6.5.6 that wont crash when you scan your BMW
You can now scan your car
Turn your key to the 2nd position, and start the diagnostic
