Which year and model E46?
Always important to mention that.

I can communcate with the engine and trans but nothing else
any idea why INPA won't communicate…with anything other than the engine and auto box controller?

This post explains why pins 7 and 8 must be connected to access modules beyond DME and EGS.
What’s the cable switch for?

Uninstall the BimmerGeeks one and instead follow my guide. Pretty sure it supports M43.

How to Install BMW Standard Tools

This thread describes how I install and configure BMW Standard Tools, the suite of BMW software that includes INPA, NCS Expert, WinKFP, Tool32. I have my own custom way of doing this that is the shortest and simplest steps I could figure out. This set up is for E46 only. What is needed...

My airbag light is on due to removing the seats and having battery disconnected when I had to remove the interior for drying the flooded carpets. My research shows this is normal when the battery or seats have been removed and a fualt code needs resetting yet I can't get to the airbag module to reset the codes

An SRS light won't be set so long as you disconnect the battery before disconnecting any airbag components, including the seat belt pre-tensioners attached to the seats.

 

Interesting compared to the info I'd found so far. Evrything was working fine after the footwells were flooded and only after putting it all back together that the airbag lights come on.
