I have installed ane re-installed the Bimmer Geeks version of StandardTools and ISTA D. I have been able to get the software installed but when I go to VCI Config I do not have the option for the K+ DCAN cable. It only offers ICOM/ENET. This is what I see. Please any help would be much appreciated.

Hi guy, any advise for this issue (kindly refer to photo), i follow the guide here but no luck, try uninstall and re-install few times, appreciate your advise.

Nice thread on ISTA, thanks! I'm about to throw in the towel on INPA (too difficult to maintain in English, etc.). I understand that ISTA+ is only a full replacement for F-series and up, but I've got E-series. Would ISTA-D together with ISTA-P handle both diagnostics and coding for my E-series? (EDIT: The answer seems to be yes). I have both xDrive and key replacement projects pending. My plan was to blow out INPA from my VirtualBox Windows 10 32-bit VM and replace INPA with ISTA. (EDIT: That didn't work, so I'm moving on to a completely fresh install under a new Win10-64 VM). I have a native switchable K-line/D-CAN cable leftover from INPA (no iCom cable and hoping I won't need one just yet).

I decided to go with a fresh install under a new Win10Pro-64 VM. I've installed BMW Standard Tools from the linked folder, thanks! I'm now trying to install ISTA by following the "GUIDE TO ISTA+.pdf" installation instructions. Steps 1 and 2 refer to "Unblock.reg" and "Prerequisites.7z". I can't find either of these in TOOLS nor in ISTA_v4.29.21. What am I missing? EDIT: Is fix.reg a suitable replacement for Unblock.reg?

I have this but I don't see the install instructions in the folders anyplace. Does anyone have them?

If you have a windows pc I don't see why you would run a virtual machine
since it slows things down and the two levels of interfacing makes everything
more difficult.
Is the 7z a zipped file ? Did you try opening those files in a txt editor like note.
If it's a 7z file you have to unzip it.

Ista + does e90's it just does the other newer cars to .
at least the bimmergeeks old Ista + download does.

Are you allowed to do software updates with ista+/D or is that only with ista P?

[guho]

I installed Ista+ 4.32.20 from a torrent but now it is asking for a license file? There is no ISTA+Launcher only an ISTA-P launcher in the torrent. Any advice welcome.

Hello together,

i need to set the windows new, so I want to. use a newer version of ista. but the mega link is offline :'(

is there a new one ?
I used it last in 2020 and there was everything, it was so cool

I have everything up and running but I don't get an emulator option for using K+DCAN cable. Yes I have run patch. All other programs work great, ISTA+/INPA/Tool32/NCSExpert/WinKFP.

This is ISTA/D 4.15.31 with a torrent for SQLiteDBs. I can get ISTA/P but I really have no use for it, and like pointed out, it's password roulette.

Links are no longer available, does anyone have anything new that works?
thanks

[frodmyster]

Same here please. I'm looking for links but can't find any at the moment and need to turn my airbag light off

I'm using a K+DKAN usb cable like this.

L.E: Why is ISTA/D + ISTA/P so large? Why does it use so much space in my DRIVE? BMW-ISTA D & P use at least 280GB on my drive.

Hi, I’m Kevin from the future, 2025. I know this is old, but holy shit. 260GB? Was that right? It said you would need 40-50gb of space, definitely not 260GB. Did you get it working eventually? Welcome to 2025. Hope all is well with you 🙏🏻
