Bought an ENET cable for E-Sys coding but cant get it to connect to my F30. The cable lights up when plugged in but E-Sys doesnt detect the car.

Ive tried:

  • Setting static IP (169.254.x.x)
  • Disabling firewall
  • Different USB ports
  • Reinstalling drivers

Nothing works. Anyone had this issue? Using Windows 11.

    Make sure your network adapter is set to the correct IP range. For ENET, you need 169.254.x.x subnet. Also try disabling all other network adapters (WiFi, etc).
