[QUOTE="Kim1980, post: 722848, member: 44033"] Since some members asked me how to install it on win7...I found this tutorial: [COLOR=rgb(20,24,35)]"Go ahead and install the BMW scanner software. After you're done, plug the scanner into your OBD2 port, without having it plugged into your computer. Wait like 5 seconds (not 100% you even need to wait the 5 sec). Then, plug it in.
