PCB of this cable looks that:

k+dcan-inpa-pcb-1k+dcan-inpa-pcb-2

 

Useful solution by he tried:

In Rheingold, he clicked on the wrench key logo (settings), then clicked on VCI Config and selected the first option as shown here:

rheingold-on-inpa-cable-1
The adapter was only bridging pins 7 and 8, so he was advised to go ahead and solder them together as shown here:

rheingold-on-inpa-cable-2

And after soldering, it works !!! Rheingold and K+Dcan cable can recognized and diagnose BMW E39.
