BMW Scanner 1.4.0 Windows 10-11 64 bit.

Troubleshooting
  1. Install the BMW Scanner 1.4.0 software. The configuration is located in the PA Soft BMW Scanner folder.

1.1 - If you have previously installed drivers that are not working or are faulty, use the Device Manager to find and remove devices such as "USB Serial Port (in the Ports section) / USB Serial Converter / BMW Scanner, etc.

1.2 - Find "CDMUninstaller.exe" in the Scanner Drivers folder. Run the CDM uninstaller, add > uninstall any remaining driver components from the laptop, and reboot.

  1. Go to the Scanner Drivers folder and find the "ftdibus.inf" and "ftdiport.inf" files.

  2. Right-click on each file and select "Install" from the drop-down menu. These drivers are digitally signed, so there's no need to disable driver signature checking, test mode, or similar. You don't need to install anything via the Device Manager.

  3. Connect the scanner module to the car and then the USB part to the laptop.

  4. Run the PA Soft BMW Scanner software. It will recognize the drivers and module and go to the menu. The menu The software will prompt you to change the key setting. Turn the key one click to position 01 (KL 1 or ACC). The software should recognize the car via the module.

  5. Ready to use!

P.S. If the scanner software welcome screen says "Drivers are not installed," it means the drivers are not installed, not working properly, or the wrong drivers have been installed. Newer Windows operating systems require the latest FTDI drivers available on the official website. D2XX Drivers > click the software version under 64-bit Windows (Desktop).

If an operating system update causes the software to malfunction, go to the FTDI website (as mentioned above) and check if a more recent driver update has been released. If so,

download, extract, and install the two .inf files as instructed in step #3. This will overwrite the previous drivers.

If the scanner welcome screen says "hardware failure," it often means the scanner module It's not connected properly or not at all to the car. The actual device and cable rarely fail.BMW Scanner 1.4.0.zip - Google Drive
