What’s included in torrent:

“standalone” ISTA-Ps were on torrents for some old versions. They are basically copies of folders taken from the installed version. Then you just paste them to your computer at standard locations and use beemerboy88’s launcher.
You can still make your own “standalone” ISTA-P by installing it to a computer which has more disk space and then copy to the computer with insufficient disk space. Just be sure to uninstall old version first, else it will be a mess and you will never be able to uninstall them.
You also need to take into account that ISTA-P ON https:/www.cnautotool.com creates multiple temporary folders/files for each session and they may take some considerable amount of disk space. I would not risk using ISTA-P on a computer which has less than 10-20Gb of space left after pasting such “standalone” version.

HOW TO DO PROGRAMMING WITH ISTA+

Until now, different systems for BMW diagnostic tool vehicle diagnosis (ISTA) and programming (ISTA/P) have been used. This means it was necessary to change systems several times when repairing a vehicle using software.
ISTA+ has been expanded so that all the required programming functions for the series F, G and I are integrated.
E-series vehicles still have to be programmed using ISTA/P!
The functions relevant for programming can be accessed via the following menus:

Vehicle treatment
● Software update
● Comfort – as per the suggested measures plan
● Advanced – with broadened scope
● Additional software (range of functions is not active yet)
● Control unit replacement
● Before exchange (preparation) – control unit read-out for the exchange
● After exchange (subsequent evaluation) – control unit configuration after exchange
● Vehicle modification
● Retrofit
● Conversion o Conversion (only coding)
● Back fitting
● Immediate measures

HOW TO DO DIAGNOSTICS USING ISTA+

How to start the ISTA workshop system:
Double click the BMW diagnostic software ISTA+  icon in the Windows desktop created during the installation process above. After ISTA is started, the start screen appears. A list of news is displayed. You can set the display period in the Administration.

Once you have read the “Note on using ISTA”, close the dialog using the button “Next”. You can open a process from the start screen: Select the “Operations” menu.
SELECTING A VEHICLE WITHOUT CABLE CONNECTED TO CAR
Method 1:
You can enter your short VIN (Last 7 of the VIN) and be able to pull relevant procedures or troubleshooting instructions without actually connecting to the car. To access this feature, launch ISTA+ and click on Operations tab (1). Then enter the short VIN into the VIN box (2). Then click on Accept (3). The Accept button will become active only when a VIN number is entered. You can explore features specific to your car from here.

Method 2:
Follow the steps as in the picture below:

SELECTING A VEHICLE VIA “READ OUT VEHICLE DATA” WITH CABLE CONNECTED TO CAR
After you select the “Operations” menu from the start screen, the workshop system changes to the “Vehicle identification number” tab under the “New” menu item.
We will assume that you have connected the right interface to the car at this time (Refer to interfaces section). Our example will use BMW ICOM A2+B+C.
This is how to identify a vehicle by reading out the vehicle data, while automatically creating a process:
1 Click the “Operations” main menu item in the navigation area.
2 Select the “Read out vehicle data” tab and follow the instructions provided.
3 Click the “Identification without vehicle test” or “Complete identification”button

The connection to the vehicle is now established. The workshop system performs an identification of the vehicle. It also reads the vehicle identification number and further data from the vehicle. The progress of the identification operation is displayed on a progress bar.

Start vehicle test
If vehicle identification was called up via “Read out vehicle data” and “Complete identification”, the vehicle test starts automatically following vehicle identification, followed by the vehicle operation and service data transfer and analysis. The control unit tree is displayed during the vehicle test

Here you can observe the ongoing determination of the control units that are fitted. If no control unit tree is available, the “Control unit list” mask is displayed automatically.
The control unit tree contains all the control units identified in the vehicle and displays their allocation to the relevant bus system. The control units are identified in succession and their fault memories are read out. The color then changes to display of the detected state. An explanation of the colors can be found in the lower section of the displayed mask. From this screen, if required you can restart the vehicle test or also call up control unit functions so that you can read out measurements or activate actuating elements.
Before you can access a test plan you must first display the fault memory. This is how to view the fault memory:
1 Wait until the vehicle test is completed.
2 Click the “Display fault memory” button.
Show fault memory
After the vehicle test, click the “Display fault memory” button in the “Fault memory” mask. The fault codes that are read out and the associated description are listed here.

The function “Delete fault memory” can be carried out at the end of the guided troubleshooting. In order to start the guided troubleshooting, first calculate a test plan.
This is how to calculate a test plan:
Click the “Calculate test plan” button.
Processing the test plan
The test plan lists the components and functions that might have caused the fault. The documents and test modules corresponding to the components and functions are displayed in the “Type” column, identified with “ABL”. In the “Type” column, documents and test modules are identified with an abbreviation.
Procedures localize a fault and give advice on rectifying it. This is how you start a procedure:
1 Select the required procedure from the test plan.
2 Click the “Display” button.

The priority in the test plan does not necessarily specify the call-up of the processes. The priority is to be regarded as a recommendation for processing.
A test module is primarily designed to identify the cause of a fault. Furthermore, service functions can be performed via procedures. Information can be displayed within a test module, as well as measured values read out or entered. Furthermore, queries can be made available in procedures via selection screens.
After a test module has been carried out, additional information is added to the test plan if this is necessary for further troubleshooting or fault elimination.

After the test plan has been completed, you should carry out the “Delete fault memory” function.

How to use BMW Rheingold ISTA

ISTA is a workshop system that contains BMW AG Data and Information. ISTA stands for Integrated Service Technical Application. Way back when, during the initial development of this tool, BMW diagnostic software (Diagnostics Information System), and as the programs evolved and due to the nature of the file naming conventions utilized by BMW, the workshop system became known as Rheingold in the enthusiast world. Rheingold in actuality is the folder that contains the main application and data. Rheingold became ISTA-D (D stands for Diagnostics) and BMW’s programming application (not discussed in this document) used the same nomenclature, ISTA except with a P (for programming) or ISTA-P.

What is used for BMW G30 ECU flash

Purpose: Need to flash a BWM G series G30
Puzzle: Is the ICOM Next mandatory or is the up to date ICOM 1st generation ICOM from 2012 ok?
Can I flash NBT EVO with old ICOM?
Advice & Options:
1.
ENET cable would probably be better for you.
2.
I flashed NBT EVOs with old ICOM without problems.
3.
Flashed all Cars with ICOM Next and Online Aos with DHCP over Router. Since that i have Never any Problems with NBT or other. Flash E/F/G with this Setup.
Note that Online Aos is the online version of the BMW software for Diagnostic, Programming any many other things.
4.
To answer your question
1st : you doesn’t need iCOM NEXT ON CnAutotool to flash the G series…but It actually Lot better & save up your times because iCOM NEXT has build in Gigabit connection.
2nd : old iCOM working find. It just take a lot longer.
5.
Icom best any type , router I noticed w my setup I use desktop w 2 lan port and on a few f cars it actually faster then oem it programs up to 8 module same time w gigabit switch , and handle data lots faster than etnet cable and for certain modules the router is a must will crash hu high in kombi in a few others
6.
Any icom will work , but to be safe with f,g,i series vehicles , use a dedicated router as kafas huh and a few other modules will crash if you do not use a router it handles the switches for Ethernet as those modules use more than 1 path way , in short it uses all 4 two pair wires and without router not good , this has worked for me for some time now good luck. note my router does not connect to wan
Conclusion:
ICOM Next is the best option for G series, working better and faster than old BMW ICOM cables. It handles multiprogramming and coding quite nicely. Gets the job done much faster if flashing the complete vehicle. Also, another benefit to Next will be compatibility for future cars.

BMW ICOM Next is faster for BMW G series cars

Here, I’m perfectly aware what BMW ICOM NEXT A+B+C is and I have it.
Icom next runs a gigabyte lan port. So if router and laptop also running gigabyte ports you increase speed, that’s only if the car and software allow it.
Also the Icom next is faster for G series cars which I suspect also have gigabyte Ethernet bus.
Also it has USB3.0 instead of USB2.0 and a better wifi card.
Note that ICOM Next B is different from ICOM B. And ICOM Next A does not work with ICOM B on full speed.
For BMW G series:
Interface = ICOM
ISTA-D=Diagnostic software
ISTA-P = Coding Software
ISTA-P= Programming (Flashing) Software
BMW G series coding:
Unlike E/F series, all Diagnosis and Coding on G series cannot be done with a cheap ENET Cable or K+DCAN cable.
BMW ICOM is the only option for G series.
BMW G series programming:
For Programming (Flashing ECU’s with new Firmware), then you must have ISTA/P for G-Series cars
Note that for F-Series Programming, you will need an ENET Cable, but for E/G-Series Programming, you can use an ICOM emulator.

How to delete BMW car warning light using E-Sys

Sometimes when coding, warning lamps for various vehicles may be displayed. It usually happens when you touch the value of a feature that should not be touched. Some warning lights include a warning light that turns off and on after a short period of time, or disappears naturally over time. At this time, BMW diagnostic tool ENET cable E-Sys you can delete the warning light of these vehicles through. Of course, the one-off error caused by coding mistake is that the warning light does not come on again after deleting the warning light, but if there is a fault in the vehicle, the warning light will come back on again.
First run E-Sys (basically the same as coding, run E-Sys with E-Sys Launcher).
And connect to the vehicle.
When connection is established, right click on FA folder on Coding screen and Activate FA.
Then External Application > External Application select from the E-Sys left screen .
Transmitter Double-click on the right side .

When the Transmitter screen is displayed, Connect press the button at the bottom of the screen (if you press the Connect button, the connection will be displayed.
Predefined Services At the bottom of the list Clear all DTCs...., select the item that starts with.
Send Press the button at the bottom of the screen .
I did not capture the screen, but the results screen will display a message like this, and the warning light will be deleted immediately.
