Equipment Configurations

2001 BMW 530i AutomaticSECTION Equipment Configurations

The diagnostic and programming equipment available in the workshop should always be configured to have the DISplus, GT1 and SSS connected directly to the LAN/Workshop network. To ensure uninterrupted service/data transmission, it is highly recommended that the radio/wireless connection of the diagnostic head is NOT used to perform any type of Programming or Coding function. 

The normal configuration (when coding or programming) of the DISplus & GT1 to the diagnostic/OPPS/OPS head are as follows:

DISplus (1) - Connected to network using SI LAN cable (2) 

+ Diagnostic/OPPS/OPS head (3) - Connected to network using DK LAN cable (4)

+ OBD or Diagnostic plug cable - Connecting diagnostic head to vehicle
