Trying to do some programming on my E39 and figured it would be handy to have the capability to have the software, so I took the plunge and bought Carsoft V12 from the manufacturer. The software and hardware arrived and then realized I needed a serial port equipped Windows PC (have not owned a PC since 2005), so I bought a 2014-ish Panasonic Toughbook.
Installed the software (per the directions that came with Carsoft) and I keep getting "dongle not found" errors. Nothing works with either the 20 pin round connector, or the OBD2 style connector.
Machine is a CF-53 Toughbook on Windows 7, which the label says is Carsoft compatible.
Has anyone here had any experience with Carsoft and could maybe walk me through what the issue may be/what I'm doing wrong?
Many thanks.
