Default Which OBD cable? 545i

Hi I have a 2004 545i 6 speed. I'd like to get one of the cables for the ncs expert program. I've tried searching, and I'm finding a lot of "how to's" but not exactly which cable. (Likely my phrasing in the search bar is bad haha).

I'd like to be able to do the aux audio install and such.

Thanks

No worries!

If you do get that software, it is very easy to install but don't assume you can jump right into using the software like that too - you want to go easy, step by step. Follow that video on youtube that shows you coding the aux. Always pay attention to the job type - sg codering and sg lessen are the things you want to verify before click on process job

Great, thanks for the tip!

Would these programs also allow me to more easily service the car? For instance, oil changes and battery registering?
