TCS CDP PRO with BMW & Mercedes solutions

Here are some solutions of TCS CDP (cdp pro) running on BMW and Mercedes-Benz cars.

The reason that some CDP PRO cannot work with BMW or Mercedes-Benz:

The OKI chip is only for cars that support the PWM/VPWM protocol like Ford. BMW didn't use the PWM/VPWM protocol. The info that the TCS CDP does not work with BMW and Mercedes is bullshit.

The essential reason is located in problem with the m6636:

The problem with the m6636 is in the CDP pro not in cdp+. replace the 2 diodes and check if it works. the 2 diodes is for bmw and maybe mercedes, honda and others.

Solution of CDP PRO with BMW cars:

the 2 diodes are D701 and D703. back the pcb. And replace it with 1n4148.  I have replaced these two diodes and gained the communication with BMW cars which users could not communicate with before. So, well DONE

Solution of TCS CDP with BMW cars:
You have to know that the components for TCS CDP interface, removed from old devices like tv´s, radio´s etc. check all solder Joints of all components (especially relays), so I have fixed the problem. I use the same interface for all BMW cars and it works without problems.

If solutions above doesn’t work also, spend a little money to buy a new TCS CDP unit tested ok.

This CDP PRO with 2015r3 software works without issues on BMW 3 series e90:

How to solve Honda HIM HDS not connected to car

So I have one of those chinese HDS clones and Racy Jace was due to pop over yesterday afternoon, so I wanted to be sure I could get my Honda HDS HIM
connected to my Accord before Jace got there.

Unfortunately this didn't happen, no matter what I tried, the darn thing would not connect, now I have always had trouble getting it connected up and its just a pain in the back side. I failed to get the thing working in time for Jace visit to my place.

After Jace left, I thought I have another go, order of connecting things up seems very important with these things, so I went shopping for them.
He confirmed that I seem to be doing everything right, connected HDS to Com port of PC (make sure it's COM1), power on HIM (the actual box - Honda Interface Module), switch on ignition, start up HDS (Honda Diagnostic Software), click on connect, when it tells you to, plugin the OBD connector and voila it should work.

Nope still not connecting !! So I carry on messing about, try differing combos of powering it and connecting it without any joy. DD suggested that CJs theory is physical comm ports won't work and you need a particular type of USB-serial-COM port cable with specific Prolific USB drivers. Now I do actually have this cable and those drivers installed but had no clue where the USB serial cable would be.

With the combos exhausted and with me now getting annoyed I thought I try something different, on the HDS software there is a Self Test mode but to do this self test you need the loop back dongle plugged into the end of the OBD connector, and the chances of finding that somewhere were slim. Another option was to update the firmware on the HIM. So I thought lets try that, so I try it and it asks to press the button on the HDS for a few second, I press the button and hey presto it starts updating the HIM firmware.

Great, so its not got any issues with com ports, that part is working just fine. It then came flooding back to me, last time I used my HIM I remember suspecting that there was either a break in the OBD wire that comes out of the HIM or a connection/circuit issue on my HIM that was causing it not to be able to talk to the car.

So this time I decided to take it apart and have a look inside, this is what I was immediately greeted with :-

These are the solder pins for the OBD wire

These are the pins of the connector that connects the top and bottom boards together

Now both sets of solder joints were looking in a right sorry state, mostly rather dull looking, these could be referred to as dud solder or cold solder joint, which could result in giving bad electrical connection.

So what they needed was to be reflowed but there were a lot of them and do properly them one at a time would a real ball ache.
So what I did was take my gas soldering iron, remove the solder tip and use it with a naked flame and just heat up all the joints.

Here's the result :-

Actually those pictures aren't that great but the end result was that all the solder joints looked much much better, they all now had a shiny look to them rather than a dull look.

Review on MPPS V18 cable and software

This  is MPPS V18 review.we have two part to share.

Part 1- review on MPPS V18 cable:

The cable is a nice quality OBD male cable, it looks like many ones, but it's a true EU Clone MPPS V18 fully open (Tricore, MultiBoot, OBD). Tricore cable adaptor looks like many ones too, but very well made!

The tool is clone, but med17 edc17 are no problem, the tools are a 1:1 of original, original software no cracks or loaders etc

Part 2- review on MPPS software

MPPS V18 success:

Med17.x.x works no problem

med17 edc17 are no problem

its working perfectly. All modules are open including tri-core

For all TC, 1797 included its auto read/write

I have tested on 6F3.
Read/Write all Micro, flash and eeprom via OBD.
Very fast and stable tool.

If can not extract password it is useless.

buy few time ago that MPPS V18 to work on Tricore ECU.
BDM/Tricore frame is soo nice. High grade aluminum, good weight, nice top plate, tight shafts and good probes!

have just manage to read via obd with multiboot function a Bosch ME7.9.10 from Fiat Punto T-JET 1.4 turbo ... This tool is the only one that can read from obd this ecu .....

MPPS V18 software failed:

it cannot do c64

V18 doesn't support EDC17C64

EDC17C64 TC1797 can be read with MPPS v18, BUT!!! you need password before. MPPS cannot read password from EDC17C64...

Foxwell NT510 is the most cost-effective professional scan tool for enthusiasts, small garages, independent repairs, specialized garages and technicians by delivering OE-level diagnosis on all the electronic systems. It does not only include basic functions such as codes and live data, but also is capable of advanced functions such as actuation, adaptation and programming. In addition, it lets you to access the most commonly required service features such as oil service light reset, throttle body adjustment, DPF regeneration and much more.

Here are some Foxwell nt510  reviews on  BMW E60 M5, VW golf 05 and GM 05 malibu:

I bought a  Foxwell NT510 multi-system scan tool , Thus far I am satisfied. Registered a user name and download the GM software, after that I pay additonal BMW and VAG software. I would like to share here my personal experience on this NT510 scanner.

NT510 scanner review on BMW E60 M5:

I got the BMW program & was amazed at how much it does! The Foxwell NT510 interface is very easy and straight forward.I was having some unexplained problems with my E60 M5(Like everyone else) And Foxwell NT510 was able to read the BMW specific modules very easily and help me diagnose the problems. You will ultimately save money owning this. It is small, and you will feel like a pro being able to read, and reset the BMW specific codes. This is far beyond a regular OBDII scanner.

You can also preform BMW maintenance functions such as registering a new battery, read and clear adaptations, activate and test all of the modules individually, engage the transmission, among many others.

This is the best scan tool for BMW DIYers i have come across so i'm sure it's great for the other makes' programs too. Highly recommend!

NT510 scanner review on 2005 vw golf:

NT510 tool is freakin' awesome on the VW/Audi cars! It is able to adjust the electronic throttle on a 2005 vw golf. It did the job with ease.The number of things it can check and adjust is pretty amazing. It's easy to use, and you really don't need an instruction manual. I frankly expected less, but was pleasantly surprised by a very comprehensive menu.

NT510 scanner review on For GM 05 malibu:

I'm using Foxwell NT510 for GM. The website would not recognize the serial number when I tried to register the tool, but that was solved in a timely manner by an email to foxwelltech.com . I was able to download the GM software (not pre-installed, but free once the tool is registered).

All functions seem to work well. I tried NT510 on GM 05 malibu, it will autoconnect / read the VIN on my 05 malibu.

It will not auto-read my 03 gmc, but I know it is a "K" series so that is easy to enter manually 08 Acadia will not auto, and it is a "lambda" and that isn't one of the choices. I haven't contacted anyone, but reviews say that the mfgr is responsive.

I can see all the ABS and SRS data. I haven't tried anything like the Throttle body cal or abs auto-bleed, but the options exist.

I did try to calibrate tire size on the 03 gmc, and it didn't work. Again I have not had the time to work through tech support yet.

Overall happy with the purchase

In conclusion:

Foxwell NT510 is great! There is no VIN lock so it can be used on as many vehicles as you want for the make you buy plus works as universal OBD for generic like check engine.
