只看该作者
我看了一个相关的东西, 其实GT1 有可以编程的, 因为有GT1 BASIC的区分。要看软件的版本, 分为DIS, TIS 和SSS, 如果DIS 版本是 45以下的就可以进行编程, 45以上的就只能扫描不能编程, 但是 版本45以下的对2006年前的车子都有效, 对这之后的车恐怕没有效, 只有齐全了后才能进行编程, 至于最新的软件也只是兼容以前的, 而且笔记本电脑用的系统都可以使用这些软件, 唯一担心的是破解软件和芯片没有很好的兼容性, 只能扫描代码 不能编程, 我和卖家商量自己带笔记本电脑去他们哪里装, 装好后在车上测试一下, 如果可以的话就买下。
以下是美国BIMMER 对这个软件的介绍, 很多国外的个人都购买了这个软件, 自己编程, 扫描。至于编程的时候对车辆加电, 其实只要保证接头输出电压大于 13.6伏就可以。

Okay, there's not a lot of info. out there on those laptop based GT1s. I did some investigating and it seemed worthwhile to take a chance on it. So, I went ahead and ordered a system (w/o the laptop) along with two others from the forum - whom I won't mention because it's not my call.
I just want to say that I got this specifically for the X, though it can be used for other BMWs. However, there are different software/hardware considerations based on differing software versions and what you want to do with it that its too complicated to go over every single configuration - which I don't know anyways.
I'm just gonna be talking about my personal experience, good and bad, so that others interested can learn more. My purpose is NOT to sway anyone to buy anything but just to share my experience. I'll tell you what I got, what I did and why based on my needs/wants. The results will speak for themselves.
What I bought, and more importantly why, below.
GT1 Basics
GT1 is short for Group Tester One which is BMW's proprietary vehicle diagnosis system. The GT1 is used by BMW dealers to diagnose & program BMW vehicles not just the X5. The GT1 was phased out at the end of 2008 but is still used by the dealerships currently. They have a replacement system being implemented. However, since the E53 ended in 2006 the GT1 is not obsolete for my purposes.
Original BMW GT1 main unit sitting in its docking station
The GT1 is composed of the main unit (BMW calls it the operating unit), software and different diagnostic attachments and communications cables. I will not review all of them here.

Laptop GT1 Basics :
The laptop replaces the BMW operating unit. The laptop runs the main software called DIS and comes in differing versions. DIS v44 and below can use the DK/Scan Pro (yellow diagnostic head) to diagnose and program. I am using DIS v43 for this exact reason. I would have liked v44 but I could only get v43 at the time.
*** DIS v45 and above can ONLY diagnose - no programming! ***
If you have DIS v45 and above, you actually have to use another system called SSS to program. SSS can only program using a different diagnostic head called OPS/OPPS and is usually used for vehicles with the MOST bus.

DIS = Diagnosis and Information Sytem
TIS = Technical Information System
SSS = Software Service Station
OPS =

IBM ThinkPad T30 laptop ($195 shipped from Ebay):
Apparently the original GT1 hardware specs are very similar to the IBM ThinkPad T30. That's why sellers insist using the T30. I bought mine off ebay (2 GHz, 512MB RAM, 40GB HDD, WiFi, DVD). The T30 does not officially support more than 1GB of RAM but the system WILL recognize up to 2 GB.
Laptop GT1 Kit ($656 incl. shipping from www.yohotech.com):
(1) - HDD (DIS v43)
(2) - VMware CDs, DIS v55 and SSS 32
(1) - LAN Cable
(1) - 16 Pin OBD-II Cable (square head)
(1) - 20 Pin Diagnostic Cable (round head)
(1) - DK/Scan Pro Diagnostic Head (yellow multiplexer)
