1. How to Configure Rheingold ISTA Work with K+DCAN Cable. February 13, 2020 auto Do It Youself, How To 0. My blog have share the guide on ISTA work on ICOM and ISTA work on ENEN cable before,so now in this instruction will show you guide on how to configure BMW Rheingold ISTA work with K+DCAN cable with COM port 9 as example.

Here, I will chip in with a few words of the reason why you should have Pin 7 and Pin 8 on your K+Dcan cable and how to use the switch mode

3.Go back to 01Step1 folder and open the NFS folder. Open Entpackt folder. Open disk 1, find SETUP.exe and right-click it. Goto Properties/Compatibility and set it to run in compatibilty mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3). Also, check the box for Run as Administrator. Hit Apply then Ok. 4.Double-click SETUP.exe to launch.

Connection by soldering is a bad option as it limits the usefulness of the interface, I have an adapter but consider a switch to be a better option

With theseK+DCAN cables there are two subtle different versions, one with pin 8 enabled, one with it disabled. The one with it disabled is ideal for e90 newer than 03/07 & that era, these leads often come with a black adapter to re-enable the pin 8 (by just tying it to pin 9) so it will also be suitable for e46/e39/e63 etc. The ones with pin 8 active are just older versions of the cable. Worst cast scenario you just need to modify the cable & stuck a switch on it to toggle pin 8 on/off as needed.

The reasons being that on DCAN cars one pin is used for a ethernet connection and the other to the K data line – on K line cars, both pins are connected to K data lines and that creating a switch mode circuit would cost more than the interface is worth. The 2 most sensible options are both hardware-related:-

K+dcan Cable Setup

– Use an adapter (such as the one sold by One Stop electronics) which internally bridges pins 7 & 8 or…

– Mount a small switch on the OBD plug end of your adapter, which can bridge (for K line) or separate (for DCAN) the connection between pins 7 & 8.

As soon as you connect the interface to the car and your computer, run DCAN.exe to configure the comms rate. I have only used the K+DCAN interface with DCAN cars.

Fyi, You only need to run DCAN.exe when you are switching between modes. If you run it the first time you connect to a DCAN car, your computer will retain the settings.

Switch K+D CAN adapter between K and D CAN protocols for use, depends on the car that is connected.

The last, K+DCAN cable you see the PCB
Very fine work, bridged soldering of 2 pins is intentional.
