This adapter allows you to use the full power of the Foxwell scan tools on your 1987-2000 BMW. It adapts the 16-pin plug of the scan tool to your round 20-pin diagnostic plug used on OBD-I and early OBD-II BMW models.

1996-2000 model BMWs have both a round 20-pin diagnostic connector under the hood and a second 16-pin connector in the dash. The 16-pin OBD connector is typically for generic emissions test for a state inspection and has very limited access to the full diagnostic system. Starting in 2000 BMW switched fully to the OBD connector in the dash. If you have one of these 1996-2000 model BMWs we recommend doing all of your diagnostic work through the round "Pacman style" connector. 

This adapter is specifically made to use the Foxwell NT530 (and other Foxwell tools) to be used to connect to the proprietary BMW electronics on these 1987 to 2000 model BMWs. 

Even if your BMW is after 2001, and you don't think you need this adapter, we find it's good to have in toolbox. You never know when you might need to help a friend or neighbor out with their early round-port based BMW.... or if you might own a classic BMW down the road that requires it. 

Please note this adapter cable is specific to the Foxwell line of diagnostic and scanning tools. It may not work or function on other non-Foxwell equipment.
