ENET (Ethernet to OBD) Interface Cable for BMW E-SYS ICOM Coding F-series Reviews

Hi,

my problem was very specific and self-inflicted.

The date of Windows in my virutal machine I installed Rheingold/ISTA was set to November 2017. At every start Rheingold displayed a licence error. Seems Rheingold checks if current date is before development/release date.
I set Date to December 2017 and Rheingold starts without any error. It reads the VIN of the car but when I choose „set up the connection“ it does not connect. The error message „check ignition“ is useless. I tried Operations -> New -> VIN -> Input VIN. After typing in the VIN (last 7 characters) and choosing „Accept“ it also does not worked. It sayed something like dealer id not allowed. If Rheingold is correct installed and there is no licence problem, this must work.

In the registry I found a key HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> BMW Group -> ISPI -> Rheingold -> License
It contained two dates. One of them was expired. The easiest way to fix this is running RCleanerV4.4.
You can also check the registry key above, if your Rheingold installation does not start after some years. It seems some installations only working for a certain time.

Conclusion:

- Rheingold 4.9.13 works fine with Windows 10 (x64) and ENET (Ethernet to OBD) Interface Cable
- EDIABAS or BMW Tools are not necessary for working Rheingold 4 (ISTA-D) with ENET
- Don’t set date before release date of Rheingold
- Use RCleanerV4.4 and start Rheingold/ISTA-D again, also if you have problems with connection
- Try Operations -> New -> VIN -> Input VIN, if this doesn’t work check your installation or licence

Hope this can help.
Best regards
Steffen

Hi,

I found the problem. It was a corrupt registry key concerning the Rheingold licence.

Cable now works with Rheingold 4.9.13 and Windows 10! J

Thank you very much and best regards!

Product arrived on time, well packed. Cable is well constructed, and seems to be made of good materials. Works as advertised, and beyond as there are endless items to customize. Came with a full, updated set of 5 software dvd's for your convenience, but I opted to download mine online. Used on a 2014 BMW i3. Great work guys! Saved me the time soldering and making the cable myself.

Great support thank you

very well received the cable,thx

There is no E-Sys_Setup_3_22_5_b34057.exe on the discs. And the part: psdzdata\swe\swfl\swfl_0000045d.bin.008_038_008 was corrupted :(

Unfortunately the disc don't have the e-sys on... also there is one small disc that only works on an old fashioned tray cd drive. the whole thing is worthless

powerful cable, thank you

cable is cheap, but really do great work.
