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
- 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
At the moment all adapters are sold. New ones are on the way.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 or Tool32 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
- Connect the ENET adapter with the PC. The PC automatically gets an IP address from the adapter DHCP server.
- Rename the api32.dll in the C:\Ediabas\bin and C:\ISTA-D\Ediabas\bin directory.
- Copy Api32.dll and EdiabasLib.config to the C:\Ediabas\bin and C:\ISTA-D\Ediabas\bin directory.
- For ISTA-D: In Administration -> VCI Config select as Interface type: Ediabas default settings (ediabas.ini)
- Modify the following entries in EdiabasLib.config:
<add key="Interface" value="ENET"/> <add key="EnetRemoteHost" value="auto:all"/>
