The Installation guide you refered to worked for me with all 圆4 machines Running Windows 7 and above except one machine. But afaik all models which are covered by bmw Scanner 1.4.0 Need this. I know that some newer E Models do Not need (meaning they Must be separated) those pins bridged. You Will Not be able to access any module besides DME (maybe also DDE) as Long as Pin 7&8 are Not soldered together. Nur the only thing they recommend is to try Windows XP, 7 or 8 which always Leads to the Same issue.
Those Selters have no idea what they are selling and in the 'Support' they are pretending to have 'engineers' to solve the problems. I had to desolder some shorted pins in my adapter before it would work.Desolder? The only thing that happened multiple Times with interfaces (BMW Scanner or k+dcan) is that the shortcut between pin 7&8 was missing. Try the instructions in the 7th post here:
