Driver side air bag light on, horn and cruise control not working

[05_3.0i_zoom]

So, I think I messed up the engine after replacing the valve cover gasket Is the order of the coil pack important? I did not number them when removing. Now the car starts for few seconds, vibrates a little bit and dies

Update:
I found out I hadn't linked up the air intake hose. That was the cause (Air entering after the mass air flow sensor).. Was cranky after spending 10 hrs on replacing the oil pan gasket. Ready to vroom vroom now!!

Thank you all for the help.

I only had to fiddle with the operating system to get it to work (can't remember exactly, but it may have needed a different version of .NET Framework or Java). The cable was fine as it was. I use an old Windows XP 32 bit laptop.

Edit: Just tested my cable and pins 7 & 8 don't seem to be connected, but 1 & 2 plus 4 & 5 are.

Tried all wire combination! Still no go My next move is to install xp and go from there..

If you give up on the INPA install give BMW Scanner 1.4 a go, cheap on ebay and easier to install, the software is PA Soft and will scan all modules fitted to your car, capable of some coding functions as well as code reading and clearing codes. Must admit since I got the Creator 310+ that gets to be first choice on both my Z3 and Z4, BMW Scanner 1.4 on the laptop next and BMW INPA for really in depth diagnostics.
