In fact thinking about it I use the same adapter for INPA, DIS and ISID. As mentioned if you only use the adapter on the e39, run the utility once and set the adapter to K CAN and leave it at that. I use the DOS version of the DCAN utility. I always switch my K+D CAN adapter between K and D CAN protocols as I need to, depending on the car that IвЂ™m connecting to. The OBD port only allowed access to limited modules, I think only the DME in fact. Q : How do I switch back to K-Line? Just by connecting the two pins or is further action on the computer required?ДЄ :В Earlier e39 had both the OBD port in the cabin and the round 20 pin connector under the hood. If you run it the first time you connect to a DCAN car, your computer will retain the settings. Q : Is it necessary to do so every time I want to use DCAN or is the interface staying in DCAN mode once I ran DCAN.exe?ДЄ :В You only need to run it when you are switching between modes. I have only used my K+DCAN interface with DCAN cars.

Q : Is there anything else to do for switching from K-Line to DCAN then disconnecting pin 7&8? Unfortunately I donвЂ™t have a DCAN model available.ДЄ :В As soon as you connect the interface to the car and your computer, run DCAN.exe to configure the comms rate. Q : So you have to physically connect (K-Line) or disconnect (DCAN) pin 7&8?ДЄ :В Yes, I think 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.

How to use/switch/connect to K-Line or Dcan pin 7&8? 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.Use an adapter (such as the one sold by One Stop electronics) which internally bridges pins 7 & 8 orвЂ¦.The 2 most sensible options are both hardware-related:. I assume the reasons being that on DCAN cars one pin is used for a ethernet connection and the other to the K data line вЂ“ 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.
