Installing the Next generation Abrites Diagnostics for BMW Software

During the half of 2014 Abrites ltd. released a new generation of diagnostic software.
The Software is currently distributed together with the older platform for the Abrites diagnostics for
BMW for user convenience. The new generation software (versions 20.0 and later) requires
internet access due to large calculation performed by the Abrites servers instead of the user's
computer. In order to install the software the user needs to make sure to connect their AVDI to the
computer they are going to use for diagnostic purposes as well as connecting the same computer
to the internet.
The installation steps are very similar to the ones for the normal Abrites Diagnostic Software, the
main differences are described below

- If you do not have your AVDI

connected to the computer during
the installation you will see the
following message:

- Once the interface is connected

the installation will continue:

- When the installation is completed the wizard will create a desktop icon. You can
distinguish this
desktop icon from your Quick start icon by the green internet connection bars.

Issued by: Abrites ltd. Manual Version: 11

display the messages for server
connection and AVDI connection:

- After that the Abrites Diagnostic

Software for BMW2 will display the
available vehicles:

Please, be informed that the installation

includes a copy of the users manual to
which you could refer at any time.
It is stored in the following location:

diagnostics
You could use the interface for any given
diagnostics by going to the following location:
Start -> Programs -> ABRITES software for IDxxxxxx -> diagnosticss (where IDxxxxxx is
your ADVI ID)

ABPROG
By going to the following location:
Start -> Programs -> ABRITES software for IDxxxxxx -> ABPROG Programmer for AVDI
(where IDxxxxxx is your ADVI ID)
You could access the ABPROG Programmer for AVDI.
ZN030-ABPROG and ZN031-M35XXX/SPI/I2C Adapter together with Abrites EEPROM
Programmer software allows you to erase and write SPI EEPROM memory with and without
incremental registers.

*A detailed user manual is included in the installation directory of the function described above.

Quick Start

The Abrites Quick Start for IDXXXXXX where XXXXXX is the ID of your AVDI is a simplified user
interface
which allows you to start working
with the AVDI in a much
quicker manner.

4. USING AVDI WITH A VIRTUAL MACHINE (VM)

If you like to use your AVDI interface (software ) with a virtual machine here are some preliminaries
that should be made.

4.1. Install AVDI software on the VM

After you have loaded and played the VM on which you would like to use your AVDI interface,
please install the ABRITES Software for the AVDI interface which you want to use on the VM. This
is done exactly as the installation on your host PC (see 3.1 Software installation steps).

Be sure that the checkbox about the installation of the interfaces USB drivers is set, especially if
you are installing the Abrites Diagnostic Software for the first time on this machine.

You should see the following window:

Wait for the drivers to be installed.

Note: If you do not see the above window after pressing Finish then go to C:\Program
Files\ABRITES software for ID VVxxxx\USB Interface Drivers (VVxxxx is your interface
identification number) and run the CDMyyyyy_Setup.exe file there (yyyyy are some digits
showing drivers version, for example CDM20814_Setup.exe is for the drivers version 2.08.14).

4.2. Connect AVDI to the VM

After the ABRITES Software is installed on the VM and you have connected the AVDI interface to
an USB port of your PC you should redirect this port to the VM, otherwise you cannot use the AVDI
interface on the VM!

This can be done in the following way (example with VMware):

From the main menu of the VMware player, select Virtual Machine Removable devices
future devices avdi interface Vvxxx Connect (Disconnect from host).

Issued by: Abrites ltd. Manual Version: 17

2.2

machine and connected to the virtual machine.

Press OK.

Your AVDI interface is now connected to the virtual machine and can be used with software
installed on this machine.

If you like to disconnect the AVDI interface from the VM (so you can use it on the host PC) you can
either close the VM Player or do it through the VMWare menu Virtual Machine Removable
devices future devices avdi interface Vvxxx Disconnect (Connect to host).

4.3. Set latency timer

Another prerequisite before you start using the AVDI interface on the VM is to set the latency timer
of the COM port where the AVDI interface is recognized to 1ms.

This can be done in the following way:

Open Windows Explorer then right click on My computer and select Properties.

online, only during the update(s).
The procedure for performing the AVDI internet update is as follows:
1. Download and install the latest AVDI Diagnostics update and please start the Abrites diagnostics
2. This internet update is performed automatically once the AVDI Diagnostics software is started. It
is indicated by the message "Performing internet activation...".
3. If the internet activation is successful, the next time you start the diagnostic software, the
message "Performing internet activation..." should be not shown.
IMPORTANT: If the message "Performing internet activation..." is not displayed the time you start
the application, your hardware is ready for use. The internet update will expire in one month when
you will need to reconnect your computer to the internet and make sure your interface performs the
update when you start your Abrites diagnostic software.
