Ista P Vehicle Order Import

[Pernille Pennebaker]

Thisis my first time posting on this forum. I just want to say first of all how much I appreciate all of the good information being posted on this forum. I look forward to contributing more here in the future.

This is my first time programming a BMW vehicle. I have been doing a lot of reading about precautions and things to be aware of when programming BMWs. I thought that I was going to use ISTA P to program the car (per the bulletin), but when I finally got that software running, it said that the programming tasks for these cars (F series) should now be performed in ISTA +/ISTA D/ISTA 4.0 (whatever you call it). So, after some time getting that software to run properly, doing a complete vehicle identification, then clicking on the vehicle management tab, and then the software update tab, I have run into a snag and have a few questions that someone with more ISTA programming experience may be able to help me with:

Thank you so much to anyone who is able to help me with this and takes the time to respond. It seems like the learning curve for ISTA is kind of steep compared to other manufacturers, but I will get it eventually

Somebody needs to start screaming stop when BMW F and G chassis are attempted to be programmed j2534. My advice is don't do it unless you have a genuine icom. Using aftermarket tooling will also probably be a waste of time. Many times aftermarket tooling does not have the latest calibrations. Selective programming can also cause problems with F and G chassis cars.

Using ISTA once you enter the programming it will ask you if modules have been replaced - select No. You should get a option to exclude infotainment but otherwise you can not just update the DME. ISTA will determine a measure plan and you will accept it.

This is what I think OP clicked when trying to update the DME only before knowing all modules would be updated. Simple mistake, should just be able to create a new measures plan with that unchecked. Me wonders if you went through with the current measures plan and didn't even unplug the DME and just spammed the next key if it would just reprogram anyways and accomplish what he needs.

Thank you for your input. Unfortunately, there was never a point where ISTA asked me if modules had been replaced. I have run through the procedure 3 or 4 times to make sure something like this was not going on.

This behaviour can also occur if no control unit has been replaced.

The background is the update of the programming functions contained in ISTA for future derivatives.
