Gotta love the E36 325i, I know I do.

Join Date Jun 2004 Location florida Posts 149 My Cars 95 RHD euro m3 turboi dont know if its even possible to get the GT1 software to work with anything but the diag head or OPS
the head communicates over LAN and is actually a windowsCE based computer
i know someone that made a cloned OPS head but he never got the voltage recognition working and dropped the project
i should give him a call and see where the leftovers are
would there be any interest for such a unit?
probably somewhere in the low 4 figure range for working ones??

Join Date Nov 2006 Location Texas Posts 1,069 My Cars 93' 325i (RIP)DIS runs fine w/ ram at 128 mb, I installed this on many machines successfully, and also 256mb ram when Gt1 came out was like 2gb today, it's uncommon :P Gt1/sss can be retooled to work with a k-line adapter, of course some functionality i assume is lost. Hp omnibook and Thinkpads are the choices I use for a Gt1 installation, it has flawless installation and drivers are out of the box, and dealing with sco. especially with server 5.5, drivers are a non-existant thing :P08-11-2007, 08:42 AM #14

I would not mess with an old PC or laptop. It is a royal pain to get installed if you have the wrong size disk (or modified the scripts.)

Join Date Dec 2003 Location Maryland Posts 1,141 My Cars Avus e30(sold), '95 AvusVery interesting. Would be a huge help to smaller independents that can't get
there hands on a GT1, Dis, or Modic (are any of these even still in use). Now that dealers will be going to 3G starting this fall with complete integration within
2 years it may be worth holding out and actually pic up a gt1 though. I see them talking about V39. That software is pretty old,, we're up to cd 50 now and V51 will be out shortly.
I'm confused about how you comunicate with the vehicle though with no DK or OPPS heads. I don't forsee how this would work with all of our D-can vehicles now either.

I have not tested CAN yet. Someone brings me a car, I have an interface to try, I think it will work. Who's in Virginia?

man im too dumb to understand any of these instaructions . is a there a Marine version ? like 1+1=2 i want to do this but i cant seem to understand any of the instructions .
What would perhaps be easier is for someone to post their VMware hdd image it already installed. I finished the install of mine last night which was fairly straight foward but of course without the head/s it was just an exercise to see if I could do it.
I would do it but I only have 1500kb down and 256k up. hardly useful .
Anyone out there that can help those that are having problems with the instructions?
