Sounds like it's time for me to get serous and look for a DIS VM and get the proper cable. I've experienced trouble previously getting the right USB hardware to talk through USB on the mac into VMware Fusion and then into my Windows VM (XP OR Win7), and subsequently into the software I was using. At least knowing it'll run solidly in a VM is better than nothing. Later cars don't have this requirement.Īh well. The cable is NOT a red hearing if you need to use BMW's proprietary ADS interface to read every modules and as well as writing to them. They all run on Windows 10 (32bit) just fine so you don't need an outdated OS. However I bet running them on iOS OSX will be problematic. All of the tools can run in a VM, indeed DIS comes pre-packaged in a VM.
