Optical Testing & Programming System (OPPS )

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 18 other vehicles, including the 2002 BMW Z8, 2002 BMW Z3, 2002 BMW X5, 2002 BMW M5, and 2002 BMW M3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Optical Testing and Programming System (OPPS) is a device that may be used instead of the diagnostic head as a vehicle interface for either DISplus or GT-1. When used, it replaces the diagnostic head. OPPS was developed to reduce the amount of time required to program E65/E66 MOST control modules by 30-60 percent and to diagnose fiber optic communication systems MOST and Byteflight. OPPS can be connected into the MOST bus and the OBD-II connector simultaneously.

OPPS comes with 2 OBD-II cables. A short version (663 111) is used for CIP programming through the OBD-II connector, and MOST bus as well as diagnosis of all E65/E66 modules. A long version (663 112) is used for optical module and bus testing of modules located a distance from vehicle OBD-II connector such as in vehicle trunk. Long OBD-II cable (663 112) only transmits at a baud rate of 10400 compared to the high speed 115K baud for 663 111.
