How to INSTALL and USE BMW scanner 1.4 (EASY Diagnostics and coding)

How to INSTALL and USE BMW scanner 1.4 on Windows 10 (EASY Diagnostics and coding). This software is an alternative to INPA and NCS expert that is much easier to use. I also go over how to fix the common "Hardware not ready" error message on windows 10.

Just got my BMW 1.4 interface today. Using the steps in this video made the install smooth as butter. My interface even statred "For XP Only". Working great on Win 10 !! Thanks Evan

[@paulterhaar4862]

Just bought it for my '97 E39, thx for the manual and the software.

[@TristanLang]

Thank You Evan !!! The effort you spend is very much appreciated! U R A rockstar!!!

[@AzzaButter]

Mate you are an absolute legend! That worked a treat. For those playing at home if you get the faulty error issue you have to have it plugged into the care first.

[@matthewfard2196]

Fantastic. Works on Windows 11 too. Similar to someone else, I got an error message “hardware faulty”. However, after connecting the scanner to the car and relaunching the app, it worked perfectly.

[@randyfleet9968]

Just got my module and cable today and I'm thrilled. I have INPA as well but es specht nur in Deutsch! This one speaks American.

[@jakeharris2159]

First of all I wasn’t aware first time starting the application after installing drivers has to be done connected to the car or an error message will appear. Secondly, THANK YOU! I got a set of xenon’s for my facelift convertible and needed this to code them and after a few clicks I was all set 🎉

[@dillonmckay3364]

This is currently working on windows 11 x64 on my brand new HP laptop. The only issues I had and someone else might be having if they are trying this on a newer operating system is; 1. Windows 11 requires secure boot and digital signing for drivers, these have to both be disabled to run the command prompt command in this video. and 2. After selecting "have disc" the options I had to choose to make it work were different than the ones Evan used. I used to live in the stone age using NCS Expert on my old win xp laptop and thank god for PA Soft/ bmw scanner 1.4/ it's way easier to use

SUBSCRIBED. Great introduction to BMW scanner

[@marcus3128]

Awesome, thanks for this, I plan to try this soon. I threw my dongle across the room last time I attempted this so hopefully that's not broke lol. edit: Very good tutorial, a couple issues I had and how I fixed it to hopefully can help someone else: The command requires secure boot to be disabled so you'll have to change that in the BIOS first or you can also hold shift when restarting the computer and in troubleshoot > advanced you can disable driver verification. The software linked will not work unless it's plugged into the car and the car is on. Hardware Faulty DOES NOT mean the cable is bad. I recommend trying that first before buying a new one. I doubt it's the cable, I've thrown mine across the room and it's fine. Good Luck

[@makveldz]

This helped, thank you

[@operarter]

I installed the driver according to the description in your video. Device manager shows the driver without error. However, when I started the bmw scanner shortcut, it gave me the error message "hardware faulty". After I connected the scanner in the car, everything worked as it should. Thank you.

Hi there Evan. I have a question regarding the cable used with the BMW Scanner software. Clicking your link to buy the cable, comes up with an option that in the item description states that it has to be used with Windows XP. Searching about the same cable in EBAY, because I live in Greece I find that the most if not all cables also say to use with Windows XP. Will there be any problems using Windows 10, as u do?
