I am having trouble finding/purchasing a cable that is going to work with my 2011 MCS. The link in the NCSExpert thread takes me to ECUtool.com but for some reason their cart system will not work for me. Are there any other vendors for the correct cable out there?

 

eBay is a good second....

Thanks! When I searched, all I was getting were the $250+ "complete kits" lol.

 

You need this...

It works. Lots of folks have bought one on BMW Coding. It does take a while to arrive, so it helps to order and en go on a vacation or something so you are not sitting around at home waiting for it!

 

Dang, that one is twice the price of the ebay one I bought... I did have to un solder pin 8 or whichever one, but it works like a charm as of now

 

Yep. But when you desolder, your cable is limited to working on one group of cars. The $99 one has an adapter so it works on newer cars out of the box and older cars with the adapter.

 

^^Truth.

However, I only own 1 MINI and I seem to be the only one around town.

 

I just soldered in a switch and printed a label so I can switch between the 2 types without carrying around an adapter.
