I have been playing with a Rover 75 MEMS3 ECU (from a 1.8 K series). It doesn't seem to like pscan connecting to it in ISO mode but much prefers BMW mode.
As far as I can tell the other cars with MEMS3 seem to be happy enough with BMW mode so I am thinking of making this the default.
Please could those of you with a MEMS3 car update to version 0429 of pscan and connect to it in BMW mode (select MEMS3 and then on the top right change it from ISO to BMW) and connect to it. See if you can read the VIN number okay and try other features.
Please let me know if works or doesn't work just as well as ISO mode.
If you connect first in ISO and then want to flip to BMW or vice versa then you have to turn the ignition off and on again.
thanks, Philip

The Rover 75/Z/ZT-T is loosely based on the BMW 5 series some things are different to the other K series cars.
Unfortunately my only MEMS3 car is away from me at the moment or I'd give the above a try.
