#NAVCODER DB9 TO 20 PIN DIAGNOSTIC CABLE FOR BMW SERIAL#
My serial port’s COM Port is port 2 by default.

By doing this, you are making the L line(pin 15) from the car communicate through the K line of the carsoft 6.5 module. On the female side, i followed the same pin out except i took pin 8 from the male DB9 and put it in pin 3 of the female DB9. On the male DB9 i followed the same pin outs that i found while testing except left out pin 3. This only applies to my cable, other manufacturers could use different wiring schemes which is why its best to confirm using a multimeter.Īfter i found the pin outs, i made the custom male DB9 to female DB9 cable. I used continuity test on a multimeter to find where pins 14, 15, 17, 19, and 20 were located on the DB9 connector on the other end of the 20pin connector cable. Remember that the above image is of the cars port and not your 20 pin connector cable(mirrored image i believe). My DB9 connector did not have the same pin outs as the one in the chart but the BMW 20 pin connector has the correct pin locations. I saw that some ppl have pins 17 and 20 connected together internally but mine were individual. This explains why oil and service interval reset never worked with carsoft. The first thing i did was open the 20 pin connector cable. Carsoft 6.5 couldn’t read the ABS module with the cable i made until I had set my serial port to COM Port 1. I have an old laptop with a real serial port running windows 95 and Carsoft 6.5sp1 installed. A DB9 connector is what the serial port connector is.

I made a custom male DB9 to female DB9 cable with the pin changes. It was purchased very early on and I don’t see any kits now that looks like mine. I have a generic .uk carsoft 6.5 cable kit. Some people were confused so i hope this helps. He said he had to connect the L line(pin 15) from the 20 pin connector to the K line(pin 17) going into the carsoft module. Not sure if this was covered but I got the idea from someone in the carsoft success thread.
