ENET WiFi Adapter
For the BMW F-models there is a WiFi adapter available, that allows to communicate directly using the BMW ENET protocol.It is based on the hardware of an A5-V11 3G/4G Router. The adapter has the following features:
- MediaTek/Ralink RT5350F processor with 350MHz
- DC/DC converter for improved power consumption
- With additional CPU heat sink for over temperature protection
- OpenWrt operating system
- LuCi web interface
- Firmware update possible via web interface
- DHCP server
- ESSID: Deep OBD BMW
- Default Wifi password: deepobdbmw
- Default IP address: 192.168.100.1
- Default root password: root
- At the moment a new power supply concept is in preparation, by replacing the DC/DC converters with a TPS560200, that is able to use a maximum power supply voltage of 17V. The feedback resistors have to be changed to 49.9K/20K and 61.9K/20K because the feedback voltage is different. Additionally one input capacitor has to be replaced with a higher voltage type.
Buy an adapter
New adapters are available.You could buy the ENET WiFi adapter from EBAY.
For BMW pre F-models use the Bluetooth adapter
Factory reset
If the adapter gets unreachable after a misconfiguration there is a possibility to perform a factory reset.You have to open the adapter and press the reset button after the adapter has booted.
Use the adapter with INPA, Tool32 or ISTA-D
You could use the Bluetooth adapter on a windows PC with INPA, Tool32 or ISTA-D as a replacement for an ENET adapter cable. The following steps are required to establish the connection:- Install .NET framework 4.0 or higher and VS2015 C++ runtime
- Optionally connect the ENET adapter with the PC. The PC automatically gets an IP address from the adapter DHCP server.
- Download the latest Binary package and extract the .zip file. Start Api32\EdiabasLibConfigTool.exe and follow the instructions in the status window: Search the adapter, select it, optionally click Connect, click Check Connection and patch the required EDIABAS installations.
- For ISTA-D: You have to select the EDIABAS\bin directory inside ISTA-D first.
- Optionally you could also open the adapter configuration page in the web browser.
- For ISTA-D: In Administration -> VCI Config select as Interface type: Ediabas default settings (ediabas.ini)
