OPPS (Optical testing and Programming System) is a device that may be used instead of the Diagnostic Head as a vehicle interface for either the DISplus or GT1. 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% and to diagnose the Fiber Optic communication systems MOST and Byteflight. OPPS can be connected into the MOST bus and the OBD connector simultaneously.

Refer to E65 CIP PROGRAMMING SETUP below, for details on how to connect and make use of OPPS for CIP programming. Each OPPS unit will have the Network settings for your service workshop configured when you receive it. API International has been contracted to perform this service:

No loading or configuring necessary upon receipt of the OPPS.

NOTE: OPPS is delivered with newer operating software than is available through the DISplus/GT1. Do not under any circumstances perform an OPPS software update available in "Connection Setup" or if automatically prompted by the DISplus/GT1 software until CD32. If an update is performed before CD32 the OPPS will be non-operational and must be returned for repair.

All OPPS units remain the property of BMW of North America LLC. Centers may not sell, transfer or assign any third party to use the OPPS and its software.
