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.

2.2
- When the software is launched it will

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:
Start -> Programs -> ABRITES Common -> AVDI Common User's Manual

2.2
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.
After the installation is complete you should have a
Quick start icon on your desktop as well as a start menu shortcut.
1.4 Interface preparation and connection to the PC
Connect the USB cable from the AVDI package to the

interface.

2.2
Connect one of your diagnostic cables (OBDII, Deutsch etc.) to

the interface.
Connect the main USB connector to your PC.
If you are connecting the interface to your USB port for the first time wait until Windows notifies
you that the drivers are installed successfully. Please, take into account that if you reconnect
the interface to another USB port of your PC for the first time you might need to wait again until
Windows confirms your successful installation.
Connect your extra power USB

plug (RED and optional) to another
USB port of your PC. This step is
not mandatory but it is strongly
recommended.

2.2
You are ready to run some of the diagnostics.
When you start a diagnostics you

should see this:
This means that the connection to the

interface is OK:
Software checks for connected TAG programmer:

2.2
If you HAVE connected a TAG

programmer you should see this
message:
If you have connected a TAG programmer you

should see a message that the Tag Programmer
is successfully recognized and you can start working.
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:

2.2
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).

2.2
Here VVxxxx is your interface identification number.
You will be shown a message informing you that the USB device will be unplugged from the host
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.

2.2
4.4. Shut down the VM

After you have finished working with the Virtual Machine you should perform Shut down of the
Operating System. This applies also when using the J2534 Passthru driver on Virtual Machines.
From the System properties window select Hardware and press button Device manager.

2.2
In the opened window select "Ports (COM & LPT)":

2.2
Your AVDI will appear in the list as "USB Serial Port (COM xx)" where "xx" can be different
number. Double click on it.

2.2
From the screen select "Port settings".

2.2
Then press "Advanced"

2.2
Make sure "Latency timer" is set to 1.
Please, note that if you connect your AVDI to a different USB port you should do these
steps again for the new COM Port.
4. USING SAE J2534 DRIVER FOR AVDI
Together with the software for your AVDI interface SetupInterface_VVxxxx.exe you will also
receive an installation file for the PassThru J2534 driver for AVDI:
SetupInterface_VVxxxx_PASSTHRU.exe.
By using this driver your AVDI interface becomes compliant to SAE J2534-1.
Each SAE J2534 compliant interface can be used to access the manufacturer's reprogramming
web site and to update the software of electronic control units in the vehicle.
This way, your AVDI interface can be used to perform online diagnostics or ECU reprogramming of

2.2
a wide range of vehicles. It can also be used as a vehicle communication interface with many other
third party software such as:

6.3 Internet synchronization (hardware update).
The latest AVDI Diagnostics update introduced a mandatory update of the hardware over internet.
This update is regular and should be performed at least once a month.
If the internet update is not performed, the hardware will have limited functionality and will be not
able to connect to vehicles until it is activated.
Please note that performing the internet update is an essential initial step. For most of the
functionality of your AVDI you will not require to have an internet connection to your computer.
It is required only for the Internet update. You do not need to have your computer constantly
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.

2.2
4. If the message "Performing internet activation..." continues to be shown the internet update was
not successful and the possible reasons for this issue might be:
- No internet connection to the computer you are installing your software on. In that case please
allow the connection of this computer to the internet.
- The date on your computer is incorrect.In that case please set the time and date on your
computer to the current time and date at your location.
NOTE: Due to the time zone after running the latest SW update for the first time, the internet
update might not be successful in the first 1-2hours.
Effects if the internet update is not performed:
- The AVDI hardware is recognized OK, but no connection to the vehicle is possible.
- Some diagnostic software might crash if you try to connect to the car.
-The update MUST be performed periodically (every 30days) in order for your AVDI to always work
properly and not experience any of the symptoms above.
Make sure to connect your AVDI and allow it to perform its internet update every 30 days.
In case the procedure does not go as planned and you encounter an issue different to the ones
above please contact support@abrites.com with a detailed description of the steps you took and
their effect.
- Upon starting the Abrites diagnostics software in the top right hand side of the screen you will see
how many days (or hours) you have until the next synchronization. In case you see the following
message you will need to perform the online update of your hardware.
- Then perform the following steps (After making sure that you have a stable internet connection):
1. Start your Abrites diagnostic software
2. When you start the software you will see the following message:

2.2
