Disclaimer:
You are on your risk. We do not recommend you setup INPA software on Carsoft interface, better load it on INPA K+DCAN cable. The test result was done by E36, not sure if it fits all BMW series.

21. Using CarSoft 6.5 Interface with INPA

23. Assigned to COM1
24. FIFO buffers are enabled
25. Receive and Transmit Buffers are set to 8
Note: I have found it is necessary to run CarSoft once to get the interface to work with INPA.
26. Start CarSoft software, and perform a diagnosis of the DDE:
27. When the test completes you can close CarSoft. If it fails, you need to get your communications with your interface and CarSoft working before continuing:
28. Start INPA with the shortcut INPA(_.IPO)
29. Try and perform a test.
