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:
