Your ediabas.ini file is not good.

The interface parameter is wrong.
It should read:

Interface =STD:OBD

Now it reads
Interface =Remote

So you have to change that and save that.
Als my tracepath is set at:
TracePath =C:\EDIABAS\TRACE

I dont know if thats an issue but maybe change that too. (and make a C:\EDIABAS\TRACE folder if you dont have that yet)

Also check in the device manager that when you plug your cable in (in the usb port) that its assigned at COM3 (that is the com port designated in your obd.ini)
If your device manager decides to assign a different com port (could be any of them), change it in your OBD.ini
So thats this parameter:
Port=Com3

It can sometimes happen that if you use a different usb port, the cable gets a different com port assigned, so take that into account if you have connection problems.
Also I believe you have the cable with the switch. In one switched position it works, in the other one it doesnt (but thats usually clear to everyone)


What you also have to check are the system variables.
Go to the properties of my computer (of how its called on your pc); thats rightclick on my computer icon in windows explorer (file explorer), select properties.
Then you get a screen that gives you info on your computer, installed operating system version etc.
Go to change settings at the computer name/domain/workgroup section.
You get a new screen, select advanced.
Select environment variables (I think thats what its called, I'm doing this from a computer in a different language...)
Check at the window 'system variables' if you have a:
"ediabas_config_dir" set at "C:\ediabas\bin"
If not, add that parameter.
And check if at the variable "Path" it also says "c:\ediabas\bin"
At the path variable theres a whole bunch of things, you you have to click edit and scroll with the cursor from left to right to read all the path variables. If c:\ediabas\bin is not in that line, you have to add ;c:\ediabas\bin at the end (note the ; )

My guess is that those last 2 bits are all sorted, but check them anyway.
This should at least get INPA working, for Rheingold there could be other issues, but assuring that the ediabas software connection to the car works is the main thing.

of course also check if ediabas is loaded when inpa is started (you get an ediabas icon in the system tray)

Just gonna restore the laptop and try installation from scratch.

Had two versions of the .ini files and neither was correct so time to bin it all and start again..

Thanks will let you know if I succeed.

With some installations you have to run a file called obdsetup.exe to initiate the changes needed to use it with the K-line/D-can usb cable.

Still no joy HELP

Personally could never get DIS or SSS to work properly, ended up trying ISTA/D and ISTA/P and they work perfectly.

With some of the cheaper cables you need to link pins 7 and 8 together, that's what I had to do before the car would see any of the software or vice verser. Open up the plug and use a bit of solder between pin 7 and 8.

[ph001]

Thats what the switch does on the bcables one.
