How to use BMW Scanner V1.4.0 on Windows 7 64 bit

Step-by-step guide on how to use BMW Scanner V1.4.0 on Windows 7 64 bit OS

So many talks are given to the pretty mess of interface BMW V1.4.0. V1.4.0 is the update version of BMW Scanner. The required operating system is Windows XP. But I have hooked it up successfully on Dell 360 Windows 7 64 bit system. Following are my attempts, you can have a try.

1) First
of all, install BMW scanner software

2) Plug the BMW scanner interface to your vehicle’s

OBD2 socket after complete software installation, but do not connect it with
your PC/laptop at this time

3) Wait
several seconds and plug the interface to the computer USB port

4) Download FTDI

driver on the http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm web site. It is not difficult to
perform according to the window instructions.

5) A black DOS

message will show up and then install the driver after downloaded it on your
computer.

6) Go back to the main
program, find out device manager and click BMW Scanner to select driver software
you want to update.

7) Select “Browse my computer for driver software”>> “Universal
serial bus controllers”>> “FTDI driver” >> “USB Serial
Converter”, then
accept window prompt to go on operation

8)
Install the FTDI driver

9) Wait
some seconds until the BMW scanner detects the software. Run software and
select your options after successful install driver


Warm Prompt: You can download a secure
program from Windows XP Mode, Virtual PC and Microsoft before operating.
