What is INPA and what can it do?
INPA is factory BMW diagnostics software that connects to all the systems and modules on BMW cars not just engine like generic scanners, it reads all BMW trouble codes and gives live diagnostics and data and GUI pages and test functions.
You can perform all the functions that a dealer can and these include things like:
– Scanning all systems and checking/clearing faults.
– Activating new modules installed into your BMW.
– And lots more. A quick google search with what you are trying to do and “INPA” in the term will let you know.
Please see here for a guide on how to install the software needed from Bimmergeeks.

Works perfectly as advertised and saves alot of money in the long run having this cable. It also works with the older round bmw connectors (with the adapter) for models like the e36 and e39 it makes trouble shooting codes and diagnostics as easy as possible
Product is great quality and works perfectly on my E60 and E46 using INPA, ISTA and NCSExpert
Great Product, works perfectly on my BMW E61. Had previously bought a cable on Ebay and it didn’t work, didn’t connect , this cable works perfectly first time, connects flawlessly to INPA. Don’t wast your money on the knock off eBay cables, just buy this one and put it to work!!!
Perfect item, at first I ordered one from China to save money, it didn’t work.. They one I purchased from these reputable guys works perfectly..
Worked perfectly. Quick shipping was also appreciated!
