Be ready for any BMW-related challenge with this 20pin-to-16pin adapter! Made for 1996–2001 BMW scan tools, this helpful little accessory turns your 20pin connections into 16pin ones. For those who like to stay ahead of the game, convert like the pros! (But don't worry, the adapter won't make you a know-it-all.)
This adapter is for your pre-obd2 BMW to connect to a BMW specific scan tool
This will not work with OBD2 scan tools because if you need this adapter your car is not OBD2 compliant
Mainly for BMW's built from 1996-2001 with the 20pin plug in the engine bay
Works great with our Foxwell, icarsoft and BMW specific tool range
Glad that it was suggested to purchase the adapter after contact via online chat. 2000 BMW e39 has both 16 & 20 pin connection points, but only linked through 16 pin.
