BMW data logging & diagnostics

In our continuous drive to develop BMW engine tuning tools and to help introduce ourselves to the OBD2 market, we developed ByteLogger. This tool will allow you to perform live data logging while driving on the road or on a dyno. In addition, it will provide engine diagnostics with the same precision found only in dealership software.

Reading DTCs has never been easier. Get a list of all errors in a matter of seconds with only the click of a button. Likewise, erasing the codes from memory is just as easy.

In addition to the primary DTCs that will cause your check engine light to illuminate, ByteLogger will alert you to any shadow codes which would otherwise be hidden. Typically, these shadow codes are visible only to dealers using specialized diagnostic software.

Unlike generic diagnostic scanners, ByteLogger also displays the freeze frame data from exactly when the error code was triggered. This information can help diagnose persistent problems with your vehicle.

In addition to the many OBD2 channels that can be recorded, up to 4 differential analog signals of your choice can also be logged in parallel! Monitoring your wideband air/fuel ratio, boost gauge or practically any factory or aftermarket sensor is now a reality.

We proudly support DATAQ Instruments DI-1100 analog data acquisition module which can be purchased separately on their website.  We’ve thoroughly tested this unit and it meets our needs for signal quality, cost and robustness.

ByteLogger is compatible with most USB OBD2 cables which support K-Line communication and BMW diagnostic protocols. It has been specifically developed to support the K+DCAN interface which is popular among BMW enthusiasts today. If in doubt, we offer compatible cables for sale in our store.
