BMW Scanner 1.4.0 VS 2.0.1 VS 2.20 K+Dcan
Every BMW owner knows BMW Scanner series, especially BMW Scanner1.4.0car diagnostic tool for its low cost and high efficiency, do all kind of stuff including very easy coding. Here I would like to make a comparison between the three popular devices, they are BMW Scanner 1.4.0,BMW Scanner 2.0.1 and BMW Scanner 2.20 K+Dcan.
Vehicle models they support:
I know 1.4.0 supports models:
E38(7')
E39(5')
E46(3')
E53(X5)
E83(X3)
E85(Z4)
and 2.0.1 supports:
E60/E61(5')
E63/E64(6')
E65-E68(7')
E70/E71(X5/X6)
E81/E82/E87/E88(1')
E90-E93(3')
BMW Scanner 2.20 k+Dcansupports the same models, or it support more earlier moddels like 1.4.0. and that is the difference between 2.0.1 versus 2.20 k+Dcan in function range, coding ant etc. 2.20 k+Dcan to work on newer models need to remove pin 8 from obd connector,
Some info got that here is the quote from a BMW thread:
"Since 2006/03, BMW use" Dcan", means that diagnosis use no KL15, so as GT1,need to change the OBDII cable.
The old OBDII cable cannot use on cars which was assembled after 2006/03.
And Since SOP 2008/09, you must remove pin 8 then you can do everything."
Coding:
When I first used BMW Scanner 1.4 I fell in love from first time use until i startedusing more and more and i got disappointed with it (Incorrect Index) When I first used Scanner 2.xx I always keep in Mind CAS - Bricking When I first Used INPA-Suit i used DIS along with Progman..... Until i bought a Car just too learn how to code with INPA-Suit since CarSoft BMW messed up during
Service Reset, and after a Week of Loading, translating, reading, trying I learned.... after few more cars I learned been faster.
Conclusion:
1.4 is VARY SIMPLE
2.x VARY Complicated
Both of them are limited.
Hope this helps.
