Will try tomorrow! If it works, I'll owe you the biggest pint of beer ever known to man kind! (I owe you one anyway, thanks bud! :thumbsup)

 

[mistreku]

Go into C:\EC-APPS\INPA\SGDAT and try running both DME338DS.ipo and DME338K2.ipo - they're both variants of the troublesome DME331.ipo...

No luck, I'm afraid. Same thing. Unless I find a file for Non EWS M50, it's DIS for me.

When doing the automatic identification, DIS says that it can't connect to the control unit and then lists the possibilities: It's a Non EWS car? Is the EWS working? and another one which I can't remember. So it's defo the EWS which is causing all troubles.

Fortunately, DIS can skip that and go into manual mode, in which will connect to everything. However, I noticed that it's a lot more slow when engine is running. And sometimes I get the data transmission disturbed error.

Unfortunately, INPA can't skip the EWS check, and I can't use it.

Anyways, case closed for now, I'm pretty much resigned with this. Thanks everyone for input! :thumbsup

No problem. I'll try and modify/re-write the DME331.ipo at some point over the next week - see if we can fix it.

 

[mistreku]

That would be absolutely awesome if you could, mate! I'm almost sure that would fix the issue.

 

[mistreku]

Update: interface definitely OK, tried it today on a 323i E36. INPA connects to absolutely everything, smooth sailing. So it's definitely a SW error, more to the point, the DME331K20.ipo.

FAL mate, if you can re-write that, modify it somehow to skip the EWS test, you'd make me and the whole horde of 325 owners everywhere pretty happy! Been reading a lot on this and apparently this is a very common problem with this file, all 325/525 non EWS owners abandoned hope and switched to DIS.

Try these. Add the .ipo file to C:\EC-APPS\INPA\SGDAT and the .prg file to C:\EDIABAS\ECU - https://www.rapidshare.com/files/3117026834/mistreku.zip

 

[mistreku]

You, Sir, made me (and the rest of the non EWS 325's owners) pretty happy! INPA works now. Says something about version mismatch, I remember it was something easy to fix, but it WORKS! Thanks buddy, owe you big time for this one! Cheers!

 

[TheEnd]

Excellent work!

 

[DarkendViper]

Is there any chance of getting this file uploaded again? I've been having the same probs and resorted to DIS for connecting to my car, but inpa works on all the others i've connected to.

 

[TheEnd]

Here it is.

 

[DarkendViper]

Thanks, will have a play this weekend with it.

Thanks, will have a play this weekend with it.

It will work, but I found DIS to be more useful for two reasons: it's more detailed, and live data works (even if it's rather slow). INPA will work to some extent, but live data values are rubbish.

Try these. Add the .ipo file to C:\EC-APPS\INPA\SGDAT and the .prg file to C:\EDIABAS\ECU

I did just as you write and it does not work, it shows errors, says that it found dme331 and dm331 and dme331k20 but they are in the c / Ediabas / ecu

 

[mistreku]

Did you copy the .prg file into C:\EDIABAS\ECU AND .ipo into C:\INPA\SGDAT ? They should work regardless of the version of INPA you're running.

 

[grzesiek2304]

I did,
errors:
"SYS-0012: IDENTIFICATION ERROR. Program will be stopped!"
"Reqested control unit: 'DME331, DM331k20' not found. Control unit found: ". Program will be stopped!"

 

[mistreku]

Just noticed your car is a '91 model. I presume it's the non vanos, so maybe that's why it's not working. It's a different ECU.

 

[grzesiek2304]

so without VANOS engine. bosch ecu same DME331

 

[mistreku]

Yea, but you could put this the same way regarding the EWS, couldn't you? EWS/non-EWS, it's still a DME331. But somehow, it doesn't work unless someone modifies it. Not saying this is necessarily the problem, but it could be.

 

[TheEnd]

The non vanos is DME M3.1.

M3.1 - Non vanos
M3.3 - M3 3.0 Non vanos (vanos is controlled seperately)
M3.3.1 - 325 with vanos control.

 

[grzesiek2304]

What amazes me most is that the error was found and DM331k20 DME331 since the files are in the directory. Today I ask a fellow to check your engine with VANOS.
any ideas what to do?
