The BMW ENET cable (Ethernet OBD) is a professional diagnostic, coding, and programming interface for BMW F, G, and I series vehicles. With it, you gain full access to the vehicle's electronic systems, the ability to program factory options, adapt control units, update software, and read real-time parameters. The cable is compatible with dealer software: E-SYS , ISTA-D/P , and Rheingold , which is installed on Windows PCs. Please note that the software is not included in the package, and we do not provide installation services.
For proper operation, please refer to the detailed BMW ENET connection guide for Windows computers
The cable also supports connection via mobile devices running Android and iOS (Apple) . Depending on the chosen cable version, you can perform diagnostics and coding using the popular Bimmercode and Bimmerlink apps (paid versions available in Play Market and App Store). The advantage of a wired connection is high data transfer speed and stable connection, which is especially important for coding operations where wireless adapters sometimes fail.

Using Bimmerlink , you can perform full diagnostics of all electronic control units, read and decode error codes (up to dealer level), and clear them.
Bimmercode allows fine-tuning of factory parameters: disabling headlight washers, adjusting wiper sweep count, activating Video In Motion, configuring central locking behavior, adjusting DRL brightness, and much more. The app's interface is intuitive, supports English with detailed explanations, and includes an advanced Expert Mode for experienced users.
Using mobile apps eliminates the need to install complex dealer software, configure databases, and study technical documentation. All you need is the ENET cable, a phone, and two apps.
Available BMW ENET Cable Versions We offer several cable variants for different tasks and devices:
Connector Type Price (EUR) Product Code Purpose RJ45 (LAN) 35 OBDBMEN Connection to PC/laptop with Ethernet port USB Type-A 45 OBDBMEN.A For devices without LAN port (e.g., laptops) USB Type-C 50 OBDBMEN.C For modern Android devices Micro USB 50 OBDBMEN.M For Android devices with Micro USB Lightning 55 OBDBMEN.L For iPhone/iPad (iOS)
For Android devices (USB Type-C or Micro USB) , manual IP address configuration may be required (typical settings are shown in the screenshot below). After connecting the cable, an Ethernet option will appear in network settings.
For iOS devices (Lightning) , before starting, switch the device to Airplane mode; sometimes Bluetooth and Wi‑Fi must also be turned off. In Bimmercode and Bimmerlink settings, select the connection type MHD ENET Black .
Bimmercode App Capabilities Bimmercode supports coding for BMW E, F, G, and I series (for E series, a D‑Can cable is required). The app allows changes only to factory parameters, eliminating the risk of critical modifications. A detailed overview of Bimmercode features is available at this link .
The richer the vehicle's equipment, the more control units and options are available for configuration. Examples of functions that can be adjusted on a BMW X3 F25 (and other models):
Reading identification data: VIN, production date, paint code, software integration level, full equipment list. Managing seatbelt reminders. Configuring climate control, including disabling forced air conditioning activation in AUTO mode. Adjusting rearview camera activation and deactivation. Deactivating the Start/Stop system by default. Changing incoming call ringtone. Activating sport transmission. Adjusting daytime running light (DRL) brightness. Configuring brake light behavior (normal and emergency braking). Managing high-beam assistant. Disabling fog lights when flashing high beams. Setting passenger mirror tilt when reversing. Disabling error messages after installing LED bulbs. Activating welcome lights with smooth on/off settings. Managing tire pressure monitoring (via sensors or ABS/DSC system). Configuring display information: speed, navigation, turn signals, media lists, phonebook, etc. Controlling headlight washers (on/off, cycle count, spray duration). Adjusting rain sensor sensitivity. Setting maximum seat heating temperature.
Bimmerlink App Capabilities Bimmerlink is designed for diagnostics of BMW E, F, and G series. In addition to reading and clearing error codes, the app provides extra functions:
Monitoring diesel particulate filter (DPF) status: time and mileage of last regeneration, option to force regeneration. Service mode for retracting brake pads during replacement. Detailed battery diagnostics: charge level, remaining capacity, mileage of last replacements. Important: after battery replacement, it must be registered in the system, even if the new battery has the same capacity. The IBS system considers battery type (AGM or lead-acid), originality, and natural aging.
The BMW ENET cable is a universal solution for professionals and car owners who want full control over their vehicle's electronics. Fast, stable, and secure connection, compatibility with professional and user software make it an essential tool for diagnosing, coding, and programming BMW F, G, and I series.
