BMW Standard Tools 2.12

WinKFP, NCSExpert, INPA, Tool32, etc

PC Specs:
Windows OS (including 7 and 8)
x86 or x64 bit systems.

I have not tested with MAC as I am not a MAC user but if anybody can post feedback for MAC it will be greatly appreciated by many members ===============================================================================================
Note:

This is a base install of BMW Standard Tools 2.12. INPA, WinKFP, and NCSExpert will be incomplete. After installation of BST 212 you will need to build from here. Below are instructions I made up on the fly. If I made a mistake or missed a step or have something to add let me know and I will make the appropriate changes. Cheers!!

INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO INSTALL!!

STEP 1: INSTALLING BMW STANDARD TOOLS


Download and install BST 212 from this thread.

Since BST (BMW Standard Tools) was designed for Win XP 32bit operating systems users have faced issues with tools like WinKFP and NCSExpert since Win 7 64bit systems have been introduced. Running in XP compatibility mode just wasn't enough. Presenting you with several errors or not running at all. Only solution was to install on a XP system or like me... XP VMware. Well that all changed with BST 2.12 which works on 32 or 64bit systems.
WIN 7/8, 32/64bit OS
===============================================================================================
STEP 2: INSTALLING INPA (will need it after coding certain modules such as DME for CAS or EWS Alignment)

Download and install my version of INPA 5.06 with Fxx Support by simply replacing the existing folders with the folders provided in the INPA I send you (request by PM only):

Replace C:\EC-Apps\INPA
Replace C:\EDIABAS
===============================================================================================

STEP 3: INSTALLING NCSEXPERT IN ENGLISH

Download and install NCSEXPER32_ENG.zip attached to this post.

Copy and replace contents in the .zip file with contents in C:\NCSEXPER\BIN. Now NSCExpert is in English but you will find the Hot Keys do not work. This is a bug a fellow CT member discovered and haven't really worked on trying to fix it so for the time being just click on the F# key with your mouse.

Not done yet with NCSExpert. Need to import profiles to NCSExpert. How? well download the PFL.zip and copy and replace all contents from PFL.zip to [b]C:\NCSExpert\PFL. (you will also find a lot more PFL's by searching for NCSExpert profiles in Google)

Now you have a working WinKFP and NCSExpert with profiles loaded on your PC we can continue to Step 4.
===============================================================================================

STEP 4: INSTALLING & CONFIGURATING DCAN INPA CABLE

Configure your DCAN/INPA cable. If you followed my steps correctly than your EDIABAS should already be configured to STD:OBD for use with the INPA cable. If not you can download ediabas-konfigurator if it is not already in your C:\EDIABAS\Ediabas-Konfigurator folder. This tool allows you to easily change the ediabas.ini to your desired interface. So if you are switching from INPA to E-Sys you could use this to switch from STD:OBD to ENET.

Now to set your COM Port we must first find which COM port is being used for your cable.

Connect your cable to your PC (some may require a 12v supply to power the cable)
Allow the device drivers to install (for best driver use the driver that came with your cable. If not then let windows install the best suitable driver for it)
Navigate to Control Panel, Device Manager, and scroll to Ports (COM & LPT)... see pic bellow

So in my case it's COM5. So we need to change this in the obd.ini file located in the c:\ediabas\bin folder. But first lets make some changes to the cable.

Right click on your INPA cable driver for example mine is labelled "USB Serial Port" and click on properties. Now in the property window click on the advanced tab.

Now every driver is different but the important part is the settings such as latency timer and received and transmit bytes. See pic bellow for the ideal settings. You may also change the COM port number here as well for tutorial I left it at 5. Once your changes are done we can proceed by clicking OK to accept the changes. No close all windows to return to the desktop.

===============================================================================================
STEP 5: CHANGING THE OBD.INI

Navigate to C:\EDIABAS\BIN and find file obd.ini and open it with an editor such as notepad.

First 3 lines will look like this...

[OBD]
Port=Com1
Hardware=USB

So we need to change the Port to reflect our INPA cable which in our case is COM port 5. So change it to look like this...

[OBD]
Port=Com5
Hardware=USB

When done click File -> Save and exit out.

Very important to remember which USB port you connected your cable to as plugging it into a different USB port will allocate the INPA cable to a different COM port and neither tool will see the cable until the original USB port is used again or changed in device manager and obd.ini as mentioned above.

Now to test if your cable installed correctly. Plug it into the vehicle's OBD port and open INPA. You should look like this...

If not follow the above steps again and correct your error.
===============================================================================================
STEP 6: SPDATEN FILES

Download and install SPDaten files of your choice (always recommend the latest) in this case it is 51.2. Once downloaded you can now follow the instructions provided bellow labelled "How_to_start_WinKFP.pdf" this will explain how to import the SPDaten files to WinKFP.

**EDITED 10-12-2013**
For NCSExpert to install or update the daten files, copy the files from SP-daten-E##\daten to the C:\NCSEXPER\DATEN\E##\ (where E## is whatever chassis you're updating). You will also want to copy the files from SP-daten-E##\SGDAT to C:\NCSEXPER\SGDAT (they're not separated into different chassis in NCS Expert, so you just want to copy and paste everything to that directory. Overwrite everything it asks about). Then copy the files from SP-daten-E##\ECU to C:\EDIABAS\ECU

After copying the daten files to c:\NCSEXPER\DATEN\E## copy the following files to the following locations:

copy C:\NCSEXPER\DATEN\E##\*.000 C:\NCSEXPER\DATEN\
copy C:\NCSEXPER\DATEN\E##\*.DAT C:\NCSEXPER\DATEN\
copy C:\NCSEXPER\DATEN\E##\*.ASC C:\NCSEXPER\DATEN\

That's it guys... You should now have a fully operating PC with the latest BMW Standard Tools and programming/coding files. I also posted some documents to the thread as well in case you are unsure or if my instructions were unclear. Enjoy
:thankyou:

Cheers!

Best Regards,
Mike

This is awesome... By far the simplest NCS expert setup on the net... Question though since Im new to this and Im just trying to reprogram for a different battery. Would NCS Expert be needed or just INPA alone?

Hi try wiht inpa
1: select BODY from the left hand pop-up menu
2: select POWER MODULE in the right hand list
3: select ACTIVATE from the next menu
4: Select ACTIVATE2 from the next menu
5: Then select F7 - Register battery replacement. Almost instantly you get the message: "Register battery replacement Activated properly.

THIS IS ONLY FOR REGISTERING AN OEM BATTERY FROM BMW! Alternate replacements will need additional coding to match voltage etc differences


Battery capacity / type in the FA change with NCSexpert

FA read -> prepared following the new battery parameters in the FA change (eg,-A100,-B090 ..) -> FA in CAS and LM (depending on BJ o.FRM) Review - encode> Vehicles

A few more questions...

So will both NCS Expert and BST 2.12 run on win7 64 bit?

Any leads on where to find updated Datens or INPA? I have PMed the OP and waiting his response. I have also downloaded BST 2.12 and NCS Expert. Im really excited to get this to work. Been trying since Jan. Lol

Here's 2013 sp daten 2.51.2 full package for all cars (torrent download). Torrent files are split by chassis number so you can choose to download part or all of the archives.

Thanks man, I really appreciate this... So last question. If I only need e90 support, I can just use INPA and EDIBAS that comes with the above posted BST 2.12 ??? If thats it, then I can go ahead and install this puppy...

SP daten files are for Winkfp and NCS expert for programming and coding only.
Note: SP Daten E89 = E81,E82,E84,E87,E88,E90,E91,E92,E93.

Inpa is used for basic diagnosis and some adjustments, no coding. Mainly works on cars 2008 and below. Limited use on newer cars. You should install the package that comes with your cable as it'll contain most of the ipo files needed to communicate with your car. But I recommend you install the new 2014 Rheingold software instead for diagnosis as it'll do everything inpa does and a lot more. It's easier to use and works on all cars and can be used with the K+DCAN USB cable or the blue GT1/DIS USB cable (note: the blue usb cable works on cars < 2007 only). You'll find the Rheingold download and all instructions on this forum.

BST 212 will work on 64bit OS. I also PM'd you a version of my INPA, SPDatens 51.3, NCSExpert, which is also 64bit ready and already has 51.3 SPDatens installed.

Thanks man, I really appreciate this... So last question. If I only need e90 support, I can just use INPA and EDIBAS that comes with the above posted BST 2.12 ??? If thats it, then I can go ahead and install this puppy...

INPA that comes with BST 212 is blank. No scripts and no IPO files. Just basic compilation of INPA that will show battery and ignition on. I sent you all you need just follow my instructions and will be fine. If you need any help let me know and I will assist you the best I can.

Cheers!!
