Title: INPA on M42
Post by: cristimm on September 03, 2010, 07:04:35 AM

Did anyone used INPA diagnose software on M42? I just bought an ADS interface like this one:

I just got it today, didn't had time to test it.

I managed to make it work. It is so much better than CARSOFT. I'll come back with some screenshots.

However I still have a big issue: I can't access the DME.

Hmm.  I wish I had INPA.  I have the cheap EBay Carsoft reader that sorta works.  I was under the impression that INPA won't work.  Can you PM me some directions if you've found differently?

I have a carsoft as well but I want more. INPA and DIS will work for sure with the right interface. It is already working on my car on every module except DME. I'll post details when I'll sort out this issue,

Hi Dave;

i am considering buying INPA. is it good enough for M42 diagnostics? i want to see the running parameters as what Autologic is able to do. including resetting errors and LEDs

thank you.
