If you want to have your none-WIFI China Clone BMW ICOM A2+B+C diagnostic system (SP168-B/SP168-C/SP168-BA some without socket on PCB) with WI-FI, here is a good DIY tutorial.

Disclaimer: We’ve made the experiment. You are on your own risk. If you need ICOM A2 with original WI-FI, then go for Item No: SP168 WIFI BMW ICOM A2.

We bought a wi-fi (ba)nano router TP-LINK TL-WR702N.

Check the small PCB inside the router

We use switch to power on router when we want wi-fi, and power off it if we want wired connection.

Then solder mini-USB connector to make power on only router without ICOM A2 to change router settings.

We put our switch there because we don't have third connector on ICOM PCB.

Then we unsoldered RJ45 connector from router PCB. Soldered router pcb directly to RJ45 on ICOM PCB and +5 power to ICOM USB through switch.

After than put router PCB on 3M scotch. (see picture)

You can see how it looks inside

Look outside

Now we have WIFI function in ISTA-D, E-SYS, WinKFP, INPA etc software... but failed to work in ISTA-P.

BMW Scanner 1.4.0 and INPA K+DCAN cable, which is better?

My vehicle:
BMW X5 E53 3.0L 2002 200K KM North American

Aim:
Read BMW specific error codes to diagnose ABS, Brake, DSC traffic lights issue that I have right now. Or any other future issue with my car.

My Experience:
Never hook up my car on computer stuff. This is the first time. I am not looking for coding right now.

My current understanding:
My car had K-line interface, I should get a USB cable not serial cable.

My confusion:
Which cable and software should I use? Where can I go for it? I am not willing spent large amount of money on professional devices. I will mess it up.

Cable options I see online
BMW scanner V1.4.0 interface
INPA K+DCAN USB cable

Software options I see online
PA-soft
INPA
I post my information and intention on forums, these are the answers I got:

Member 1:
PA Soft (BMW Scanner) MUST have a PA Soft interface to work.
The D/K CAN (may) work with BMW software. I say may as I generally avoid crap shoot interfaces for cheap prices.

Member 2:
The BMW Scanner 1.4.0 needs its own cable. It cannot use a generic OBD to USB interface cable.
Member 3:
----- BMW SCANNER 1.4 for people who do not want to complicate long life, you can do many things but not all

----- EDIABAS INPA complicated of get it going, complicated to handle, but you can do all or most of what they do in the once, and increasingly now that VMware wheel ISIS professional tool .... (INPA) vs Interface for the whole family (BMW SCANNER)

Member 4:
I have downloaded the Pa-soft software and downloaded the cable driver for the Win 7 32 bit version and manually install it you can get it working. I prefer BMW Scanner 1.4.

Member 5:
I know 1.4.0 supports models:
E38 (7′)
E39 (5′)
E46 (3′)
E53 (X5)
E83 (X3)
E85 (Z4)
and 2.0.1 supports:
E60/E61(5′)
E63/E64(6′)
E65-E68(7′)
E70/E71(X5/X6)
E81/E82/E87/E88(1′)
E90-E93(3′)
BMW OBD2 Scanner 2.20 k+Dcan supports the same models, or it support more earlier models like 1.4.0. and that is the difference between 2.0.1 versus 2.20 k+Dcan in function range, coding ant etc. 2.20 k+Dcan to work on newer models need to remove pin 8 from obd connector.
When I first used BMW Scanner 1.4 I fell in love from first time. But I took a week to load, translate, read, try INPA software….after few more cars I learned been faster.

So PA-soft is simple, INPA is VARY complicated.

Member 6,7,8….
But I have made up my mind to buy both this two cheap cables (38 bucks from obd365) and make my own comments in the next few weeks.
