    Laptop Connection for KSD CD?

    I recently purchased the TIS/ETK/KSD cds on ebay and would like to be
    able to connect to my car to read the fault codes. Anyone know why
    type of connection I need (number of pins?) to run from my laptop to
    the car?

    TIS is for repair instructions & service information. ETK is only a parts
    catalog. And KSD is the warranty labor times, operation codes, and defect
    codes. None of those CD's will read faults from your car. You would need a
    DIS tester, or a GT1 for that.

    OK, if I had a DIS tester or GT1, can you also change the key code setting
    etc? And are these magical boxes or a bit of software and you still need the
    lead that we dont know what it looks like?

    TIA

    The DIS tester and GT1's are BMW diagnostic equipment. They have every cable
    you could ever need to do whatever you want to the car. But... they're not
    available to anyone except BMW dealerships. I'm sure there may be some
    aftermarket units available, but I'm only familiar with the stuff we use at
    our dealership.
