How to install ISTA+ for BMW diagnostic & programming
BMW ISTA+ download:
Free version:Go to BMW forums and download ista+ for free
BMW forums such as bimmerfest, bimmerpost,bimmerforums, bimmerboard etcetc.
Here list a link for you to have a try:
https://mega.nz/#F!5pIW1DyY!jYoL2TxwI1WyWfuudfN4nA(unknown security)
BMW_ISPI_ISTA-P_DAT_3.63.0.400.istap
BMW_ISPI_ISTA-P_SYS_3.63.0.400.exe
Tested version:Use ISTA-D 4.08.12 ISTA-P 3.63.0.400 with relief
What is ISTA and what is 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 used DIS (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.Rheingoldbecame 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. This document only discusses ISTA+.
Eventually, based on the direction that the company is taking, ISTA-D and ISTA-P for F-/I-/G-/Mini/RR series cars will be rolled up into ISTA+ for diagnostics AND programming.
That is, ISTA-P will contain all chassis data until around August 2017, then BMW plans to phase out all BN2020 vehicle data in ISTA-P. So, ISTA-P will be used for Programming on E-series only and ISTA+ will be everything else.
Programming (or also called Service Data) in ISTA+ is required for programming F-/I-/G-/Mini/RR cars. BMW now provides these files as deltas to original programming (SDP) data.
ISTA+can be used to diagnose ALL cars BUT program only F-/I-/G-/Mini/RR series cars and beyond. E Series Programming is not supported in ISTA+.
BMW officially breaks up the new ISTA+ application capability into two parts – Diagnostics and Programming. Following is a short breakup of each feature within ISTA+:
DIAGNOSTICS:
- Vehicle identification for specific vehicle management
- Information research for repair and maintenance
- Guided troubleshooting
- Software repair
PROGRAMMING:
- Software Update
- Control Unit Replacements
- Retrofits / conversions
System requirement:
- Minimum system configuration is now hard coded into the program, although the standalone versions have this check removed.
- 2.2Ghz CPU – 2 core minimum, core i5 or i7 recommended
- 4GB RAM, 8GB recommended
- Minimum 20+GB HDD free space for ISTA+ Diagnostics with ONE language, and minimum 100GB for Programming Data.
- This version has hardware check removed, however, future versions MAY not have this feature. A faster system is required.
- This version discusses included English Databases only. If more required, add to SQLiteDBs folder, which will need more space.
ISTA+Installation instruction:
VARY WITH SOURCE
NOTE: While there are multiple sources to procure ISTA+ and "install†on a laptop, the following instructions apply only to ISTA+ obtained on this site, and specifically asked for and received through the Rheingold/ISTA-D request thread. Each source has its own installation method and those are not discussed here. Versions in pictures used as examples only. Actual version may vary.
Step 1:
Download and run unblock.reg BEFORE downloading anything else. Then REBOOT the computer, this is a critical step.
Step 2:
Install everything in Prerequisites folder, only if you don’t have a previous Rheingold installation. For 64-bit Windows, install both vcredist x32 & x64 from Microsoft, if not already installed.
Step 3:
Install the following – you can get both from Microsoft.
- Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013
- .NET Framework 4.6
Step 4:
Download Rheingold.7z using MegaSync or JDownloader. Once downloaded, check whether "Rheingold.7z†is blocked. If it is, unblock it. Right click on the file, go to Properties and if files are blocked, then you will see the unblock button as in the picture below:
Step 5:
Extract Rheingold.7z using 7zip ONLY. You may have to give admin privileges for extracting. Location doesn’t matter, but preferred location is C:\. If extracting to this location, you will need admin privileges for 7zip before extracting the file. To avoid future issues with admin rights etc. you can also extract this file to the root of a secondary drive, for e.g. D:\
Step 6:
Assuming you extracted the file to the location suggested above, create desktop shortcut from "C:\Rheingold\TesterGUI\bin\Release\ISTAGUI.exeâ€. If not, create the shortcut from the location you extracted the files to.
Step 7:
Run the following registry fixes, depending from your OS:
- From the Mega site, download and run the following two registry files: o Ista-prog-x64.reg
o Ista-prog-x86.reg
- Also run the following registry fixes from the C:\Rheingold folder (scroll all the way to the bottom to see these files):
Step 8:
Run ISTAGUI shortcut from your desktop as administrator.
Step 9:
When prompted for license, copy the license key from the "rheingold-license.txt†located in "C: \Rheingoldâ€
Step 10:
If/When prompted for dealer ID, enter "1†and ignore following warnings. ISTA+ will close.
Step 11:
Run again ISTAGUI shortcut from your desktop as administrator and verify the databases in Settings > Version tab in ISTA/D If you encounter start/running issues, delete the "Rheingold†folder from "C:\â€, run "RCleanerV4.4.exe†as administrator and start again from step 5.
NOTE: If you have no good source of ISTA+ download or think it hard to install ISTA+ yourself, go to have the plug-and-play,ISTA+ HDD. Just insert it into your laptop and use with relief.

How to solve ISTA-P 94201 63031 63014 error
If you has ISTA-P94201 63031 63014 Error when runningBMW ICOMsoftware, here's the proper solution.
This is the screen.
Maybe you've seen this error at least once you useISTA-P
Most likely EDIABAS or PSDZ errors.
1. Exit ISTA-P first and exit the program.
2. Disconnect ICOM connected to OBD terminal of vehicle.
3. Remove the battery terminal of the vehicle for about 10 minutes.
4. Reconnect the vehicle battery terminal.
5. Turn on ignition of the vehicle.
6. Connect ICOM to OBD terminal of vehicle.
7. Run ISTA-P Loader to select ICOM.
8. Run the ISTA-P program.
If you do this, most of the work will be done.
(Assuming that EDIABAS and the rest of the programs are in place)
If the same error is repeated in other ICOMs as described above,
Most of them are EDIABAS, so try patch,
If you still have symptoms, you will need to reinstallISTA-PBMW Diagnostics, Programming, etc.

How to Backup BMW F-series E-sys Software
Here we provides BMW F-seriesE-SYScoding program backup and recovery method.
***************** How to backup *****************
1. How to backup with SVT
Read SVT actual from VCM -> Save
1-1. How to recover the whole
Load -> Code
2. How to get backup by module
Read SVT -> Read Coding Data by Module -> C: EsysData / CAF -> Copy and Paste Same CAFD.ncd file into folder you want to save
Read Coding Data If a new window pops up, you can save it without closing it.
2-1 How to recover by module
Read SVT -> Read Coding Data by Module -> Replace with saved CAFD.ncd file into C: EsysData / CAF -> Code FDL
3. How to get a backup of all modules at once
Read SVT -> Root SVT -> Read Coding Data -> C: EsysData / CAF -> Copy and Paste All CAFD File into folder you want save
3-1 How to recover all modules at once
Read SVT -> Root SVT -> Read Coding Data -> Replace with saved CAFD.ncd file into C: EsysData / CAF -> Code FDL
It is often called the factory reset when an error occurs.
Therefore, it is recommended to set the backup as default.
At this time, the meaning of the code is not the meaning of the original, but it is more likely that it means that the coding values ​​are reset to factory reset.
If an error occurs, you can erase it with a scanning device that can be scanned or erase the fault code using BMWHAT or useBMW ENET cableE-sys software.
