April 2021 - Introducing the completely revised version of the pss-autosoft BMW and Mini Wiring Diagram System (WDS).
- In this video you will learn to deploy windows using WDS From more Info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WindowsDeploymentServiceshttps://technet.microsoft.com.
- Got few messages about the fact people can no longer access the BMW Wiring Diagrams from the site. WDS is getting old and with regular Java/Browser updates it is hard to access old sites Here you, all you need to do is change your Java security settings.
The difference from the original BMW released version and ours
Sep 30, 2011 bmw 3シリーズ セダンの配線図情報（wds)を確認するに関するモトアリの整備手帳です。自動車情報は日本最大級の自動車sns「みんカラ」へ！. BMW MINI WDS is an original product which contains all required information due to the type of automotive catalog (repair manual, spare part catalogue or diagnostic software/hardware). After purchasing the catalog or workshop manual you will receive high quality technical support according to installation of the software to your PC. After the udhcpc command in the script. You will leave the unused Basic/Network Setup/'Gateway' GUI field to 0.0.0.0, or, to get a GUI feedback of the currently assigned wangateway nvram value, have this field filled by the value of the nvram langateway value by setting this last the same way as the one below for wdswatchdogips.
Biggest difference as of April 2021: For users with any version of Internet Explorer 10 and newer, there is NO reason to install Java. The only users who will need the Java Runtime (JRE) are those who have Internet Explorer version 8 or 9!
Bonus: While Internet Explorer is the preferred Browser, and must be present to successfully install the new WDS, the WDS can also be opened on any of the currently available Windows browsers - Edge, Chrome, Firefox and work perfectly.
About the original BMW version:
The WDS from BMW is readily available from many sources but they ALL share one common issue. They were designed and intended to work with a specific configuration - one that is no longer easily possible to duplicate with modern computers.
The original intended system was a version of Windows with Internet Explorer 5.5 through 7, running the Adobe SVG Plugin, with JavaScript and the Java Runtime environment.
In other words Windows XP or older operating systems, that had NOT been updated to Internet Explorer 9.
NOTE: This is for ORIGINAL BMW or MINI WDS, not ours!

Describes all functions
of correctly functioning
BMW and Mini WDS.
The controlling factor is the browser. Here are the ONLY browsers that work with the original BMW or Mini Wiring Diagram System:
Internet Explorer 5.5 (long obsolete) Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7 (and Internet Explorer 8) are the only browsers that the OEM BMW or Mini WDS will work with.
This issue is hard-coded into ALL the original BMW or Mini WDS.
So for those who are using any current version of Windows, these requirements eliminate everything past Windows 7.
For Windows 7 or Vista this is only if Internet Explorer 7 or 8 is still installed - which with the Microsoft automatic updates, pretty much eliminates both Vista and Windows 7 too.
And really, nothing else will function. Period.
If you did try to make it work on something else you were limited by the issue of the original image files being specifically coded for use with the Adobe SVG plugin (which is obsolete since modern browsers have built in SVG Support).
This special coding was what made the original WDS so powerful. (See the above 'Help' button) Each image had links embedded into the file that would allow you to instantly jump to any related system in the navigation tree, which allows user to quickly track a circuit and all its branches.
Unfortunately there are many vendors offering a BMW or Mini WDS that is not at all usable under normal conditions. In order to make it work you have to play with the settings in Windows, change operating systems to use it at all. And naturally no seller tells you this before you purchase.
- Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Here are several optional screen versions to download:
That means that for the original distributions, when used on any system other than the operating systems/browsers that met these requirements, you could (with tweaking) at the very best view the images for the diagrams, but not navigate to any related images or documents.
This video highlights the problems with any standard BMW or Mini Wiring Diagram System (WDS) DVD. The first portion shows you a functional use - on Windows XP with an early Java Runtime installed. Then we show on Windows Vista, Windows 7 and finally on Windows 8.1.
Then we finish the video with the original, fully functional pss-autosoft.net version of the BMW and Mini WDS on a single DVD. running on the same Windows 8.1 system. This is the old version, without the remastering of all the data files to eliminate the need for the Java Runtime Environment.
At the bottom of the page you can see the current pss-autosoft.net Remastered WDS running on Windows 10 (64 bit) without the Java Runtime installed.
The pss-autosoft.net difference
Our NEW version of the BMW and Mini WDS has been completely rewritten to function correctly on any modern version of Windows, from XP with Internet Explorer 8 through Windows 10 with Internet Explorer 11.
And by function correctly we mean, the internal testing to validate the operating system and browser, the internal links are all 100% functional. It does not matter if you have a 32 bit or 64 bit version of Windows, it works.
Bmw Westchester
We rewrote almost all of the internal HTML, CSS and JavaScript to allow the BMW or Mini WDS function on your modern computer system - all you need is to provide a PC which has some form of Windows from XP onwards, and has Internet Explorer.
The system as written runs directly on your PC, utilizing about 1.9 GB of disk space.

Above you saw a video of the failures of the standard BMW or Mini DVD that you will find from many sources, ebay, Amazon, forum shares. And they all share the same faults - they will NOT work correctly, if at all, on any thing other than the intended browser or operating system.
With the pss-autosoft.net BMW and Mini WDS you get 100% functionality. You don't have to find an old computer to run it on, you do not need to get a system with a XP Virtual machine (as some have done and sold - where is the COA for that XP install??), you just install the program we provide and run the WDS.
- Your browser does not support HTML5 video.
This is a video captured from a system using the pss-autosoft.net WDS system on Windows 10 64 bit. We run through many of the functions, and the WDS is running natively on the Internet Explorer 11 without any faults, or Java needed.
