Usually, K+DCAN usb cable and ICOM D adapter are the most cost-effective diagnostic bundle for BMW bikes/motorcycles. But some chinese knock-offs probably come with wrong pinout. Here share my pinout setup with you all.

I have ENET cable but could not use it with the bike. I have used USB-K+DCAN cable instead.There are only 2 pins incorrectly wired but this is something thoroughly discussed on specialized diagnostic fora so it takes only 10 minutes (and soldering iron) to correct the wiring.

So final wiring of 10 pins plugshould be like this:

OBD2 BMW 10 pin

4&5————-4 (Bat-)
7—————1 & 2 (K Line) – ECU / ABS
16————–6 (Bat+)
1—————10

or
OBD2 BMW 10 pin

4&5————-4 (Bat-)
7—————1
8—————2
16————–6 (Bat+)
1—————10

If the adapter you buy, has one of this set-ups you should be good.

2) I have bought my ICOM D from China (one week around to wait of course but it is really worth it).
some of the chinese ICOM-D cables are incorrectly wired and the 10 pin round connectors are of very poor quality, the correct pin out is

It will depend on whether the OBD end of the cable is screwed together as to whether you can change it

Then there is the question of what OBD interface you are using to the PC

In short, what I personally did (I am sure I know less then 1% what this powerful software can do):
-change the SA and VO code (adding/deleting options in case of the car and FA in case of the bike) – this was done with NCS Expert.
-coding the car with INPA and NCS Expert to “tell” it that I no longer have the rear right and rear door airbags
-coding with INPA and NCS Expert the passenger presence mat state which is broken, but rather then changing it, I just coded it.
-changed miles to km all the readings (speedometer, odometer, consumption) with NCS Expert on the car and ISTA-P on the bike
-unlocked the TV in motion on the car with NCS Expert and NCS Dummy
-updated the car and bike software with new Daten files using NCS Expert on the car and ISTA-P on the bike
-retrofitted LEDs on the bike using ISTA-P
-retrofitted factory alarm on the bike using ISTA-P
-set new service interval for the bike (both date and mileage)
-read and cleared the faults on the car and bike using Rheingold (ISTA-D)
-looked deeper into my exhaust flap operation by triggering it closed and open from Rheingold diagnostic software (in fact Rheingold is a very powerful diagnostic tool which I am told is used by the dealer already)

I am sure it can do much more, but this was what I bought it for and it did all brilliantly and it was as easy as moving the cursor around the screen and pressing a button (well, moving the stylus in my case as I have a Thinkpad X200 tablet)
