Allan8932 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Good day, everyone. The 2008 BMW 320d e90 had battery-related difficulties, leading to repeated jump-starting attempts. This imprudent course of action is believed to have resulted in complications with the DDE (Digital Diesel Electronics) and CAS-3 (Car Access System-3). I successfully replaced the battery and interchanged the two modules from a donor vehicle, resulting in the successful initiation of the car's engine. Upon reattaching the panels underneath the bonnet and in the footwell, I made an endeavor to initiate the vehicle in order to transport it for tire replacement, just to encounter a recurrence of the same issue. Upon engaging the ignition, activating the start function, and seeing the illumination of the lights, the subsequent deactivation of such lights, and the application of pressure to the clutch pedal, the engine is started. However, despite the engine's repeated attempts to ignite, it fails to achieve combustion. What are the potential factors that might lead to a disruption in communication between the modules, or is there a possibility of an other underlying problem?

Paulinelinker Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Have you conducted a scan using diagnostic software? Additionally, it would be worth considering the option of resynchronizing the CAS-DME system instead of resorting to the substitution of components from another vehicle.

Allan8932 Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 Initially, I had intended to reestablish synchronization, procured a laptop, and made an endeavor to obtain ISTA/INPA software, but without success. I attempted to engage in a do-it-yourself (DIY) project, but unfortunately, it did not provide the desired results. Consequently, I resorted to acquiring a new DDE/CAS-3 module together with a corresponding key from an online marketplace, namely eBay.

Allan8932 Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 Is there an individual or organization in close proximity to Worthing that has diagnostic software or has access to downloadable versions that do not need a license key?

Allan8932 Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 Is it possible to do a synchronization using INPA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulinelinker Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 It is plausible to assume so; yet, my own experience with INPA is limited since I have had difficulties in successfully using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan8932 Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 Is it simpler to work with ISTA-P? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulinelinker Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 In order to engage in programming activities, it is necessary to use either ISTA-D or ISTA+ software, since the P version is specifically designed for this purpose. The use of ISTA becomes quite uncomplicated when the first challenge of program setup has been overcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkippyTom Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 It is indeed possible to re-synchronize using INPA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan8932 Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 I express my gratitude for your assistance. I have successfully installed INPA, but, I had difficulties in installing ISTA. I am now able to cease my search and, with optimism, proceed to travel via the INPA system and initiate a re synchronization process.

Allan8932 Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 Is there an available live download link for ISTA-D / ISTA+? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatSuru Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Have you been unsuccessful in reestablishing synchronization with INPA? What error codes are displayed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan8932 Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 The downloaded INPA software was in the German language. I possess no prior familiarity with either application - from which source should I get its download? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatSuru Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 The website has a Standard Tools button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan8932 Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 Is it necessary to have both the SP-Datens and the Standard Tools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
