Hello,
Used to INPA and DIS for my E-series BMW's I wanted to make a step further and set ISTA for F-series (my wife's and father's BMW's), planning to use it with a K+DCAN cable (the one with a switch) for diagnostic purpose
I downloaded ISTA 4.39.20 standalone provided here : https://www.bimmerfest.com/threads/ista-4-39-2x-standalone-sdp-full-4-43-21-torrent.1411305/
Installed it on a fresh new W10 updated to 22H2, never connected to Internet
Installed all VcRedist, .NET Framework, Chrome as required by minimum requirements + BMW Tools and 4.43.21 PSDZData + FTDI usb drivers
Changed settings of cable to Com1, 961200 bps, latency 1, changed Ediabas.ini to STD:OBD, OBD.ini on Com1, made a copy of OBD.ini on C:\Windows too
On ISTA com settings is set to Ediabas
But still can't connect ISTA to a car (tried '20 F40 118i and '08 E90 M3), although INPA can connect to my E90 !
Tried with D-can.exe found on this forum, can't set the cable to 500kbit DCAN : error Timeout answer when switch is correct and timeout echo when switch is on pre-2007 cars
So when I try to connect ISTA to cars listed above, I have the ongoing backward process bar moving for like 20 sec then it disappears and nothing more (complete identification, identification without vehicle test and all switch positions have same effect) : I don't have the following menu
A weird thing is : when I enter both VIN's it tells me The VIN is not valid and/or not assigned
![Image]()
Would it be possible to have some help setting it up please ?
I don't really know what could I do more 😖
Regards
