Problem:BMW ISTA+ "Display” Function isn’t working, files were downloaded from forum, all files were extracted and unblocked. Car can be identified and fault tree is shown. Everything works fine, but when I create a test plan for faults and click ‘display’,the next page is blank and ends up semi-freezing the program.

How to fix BMW ISTA+ "Display” Function is blank?

To do a fresh installation again,

Disconnect from internet,

Stop antivirus programs, windows defender or any software that may block files,

Use 7zip to extract all files then try again.

Follow the installation guide, pay attention to windows software like .net framework 3.0,3.5,4.0,4.5, VC++ all versions starting from 2003 up to at least 2015 x86 and 64 bit, and java.

You asked for the sitting for the Ediabas folder in Rheingold folder ediabas.ini , interface, it should be set to "REMOTE” not "STD:OBD”, as I am also using aINPA K+DCANnot anICOM. Interface = STD:OBD must be set in the C: Ediabas folder only.

I am not sure if this has something to do with the screen freezing problem but I think it is worth to say.

For flashing: INPA should work and connection to the car verified that also will start the server, close INPA and start winkfp providing you installed spdaten properly.

PS: It isalways recommended to install BMW software on a fresh copy of windows.

Alright, if you bought any of INPA K+DCAN or BMW ICOM fromobdii365.com, remote assistance is available if any problem.

Have a 2011 Chrysler 200 S used with one of the original keys, I want to add one more spare key, I need to go to the dealer to have the key list reset? Because I don’t have 2 original keys.

3 options of 2011 Chrysler 200 S key add:

Unfortunately this is true, you need 2 working keys to program additional keys. A dealer is ableto able to add keys using theWiTechdiagnostic tool. This also requires a PIN which the dealer is able to get through the parts department. If you buy the blank key through the dealer they may program it for you for the price of the key ($150 or so dollars).

PS:

Witech Micropod2 can also program 2005 Chrysler 200 when All Keys Lost, here is the operation guide:

https://www.obdii365.com/service/witech-micropod2-program-2005-chrysler-200-all-keys-lost.html

Insert the new key you want to program and turn the ignition cylinder to ON position. Currently ChryslersMicroPOD IIis the only solution for all keys lost because its the only tool that will wake the BUS to begin the programming procedure for new keys. Lost key replaced on site using MVP Pro to pull pin and program a new smart key.

Another option is to purchase the appcar software betawhich is able to pull the PIN and program additional keys. It will cost $50 for the software and $40 for the obd dongle/cable to connect to the car obd port and you will need to buy a blank key. Note, do not buy a refurbished key, new only, as the key is programmed to the wcm (wireless key module) of the car and cannot be reused/reprogrammed.

Appcar will work on all 200’s as noted on their website. The appcar software can retrieve the PIN so there no need to go to a dealer. It is quite easy to pull the PIN and immediately program the new keyfob.
Note that AlfaOBD will still require the purchase of a separate OBD dongle.

Another option is I have used alfaOBD for such. This should work on the car listed by the op also. Still will need pin from dealer, and yes new key. AlfaOBD is $50 and works with windows or android. I believe it works on all FCA, stelantis, etc from 2009 and up. At least for now. Not sure of course what will change with new ownership.

Alright, all of three WiTech diagnostic tool, appcar and alfaobd have their strengths and weaknesses.

As noted, it is your choice on how to proceed.

Launch X431 PAD V/Pad VII, Autel MaxiCOM MK908P/Maxisys Elite and Autel MaxiSys Ultra can perform ECU coding and programming for almost all BMW vehicles.

The Coding function is used to re-flash the vehicle control modules, it allows you to update the computer software on the vehicle to the latest version, as well as to reprogram adaptive data for certain components after making repairs or replacements, providing ways for the issues of Drivability, Fuel Efficiency, Power Loss, Fault Codes, Durability of Mechanical Parts.

The diagnostic tool can reflash the vehicle control modules, to update the in-car computer software and reprogram adaptive data for certain components, fixing issues of drivability, fuel efficiency, power loss, fault codes and durability of mechanical parts.

• Coding: reprograms adaptive data for vehicle control modules after repairs or replacements of vehicle parts;
• Reprogramming: downloads newest software version from the online server database and reprograms it to the ECU.

Autel MaxiCOM MK908PPros:

Online, cloud-based ECU coding and programming in the U.S through its J2534 interface.

The diagnostic tool comes with a J2534 ECU programming tool (also used as a VCI box) that is a SAE J2534-1 & -2 compliant pass-thru reprogramming interface device. Using the updated OEM software, it is capable of helping BMW and Mercedes Benz users replace the existing software/firmware in the Electronic Control Units (ECU), program new ECUs and fix software-controlled drivability issues and emission issues. It supports BT and USB communications and can transmit vehicle data to the MaxiCOM display tablet with or without a physical connection.

Autel MaixSys Ultra andLaunch X431 PAD VPros:

√J2534 protocol

√Online programming/coding,

√Support D-PDU and RP1210 protocols to extend compatibility with more passenger and commercial vehicles globally. The VCMI modules in both devices also support other protocols like CAN FD and DOIP.

Autel MaxiSys Ultra Pros:

Checks all the boxes any mechanic could want from a non-OEM coding and programming tool with its powerful 5-in-1 VCMI paired with extensive protocol support.

BMW programming tool: Autel MaxiSys Ultra Vs. Autel MaxiCOM MK908P Vs. Launch X431 PAD V

Autel MaxiSys Ultra wins in advanced system diagnosis

Access your ECU to deliver full, intelligent diagnostics on every system in your BMW. They can access the engine body system, navigation system, airbag system, audio system, suspension system, or other systems to do what they do best; perform in-depth diagnoses on your car. The ability to access all modules in all systems is pretty much expected at the price points of these scanners.

Take Autel MaxiSys Ultra for example, it displays the current module status and number of DTC per module, as well as shows the communication structure between the system modules. It also has better specs for faster and smoother diagnostics.

MaxiSys MK908P works in combination with the diagnostic tools to your greatest advantage:

• The MaxiScope MP408, a PC based automotive oscilloscope, giving you an insight to the inner workings of a vehicle’s electronic circuits;
• The MaxiVideo MV105/108, digital inspection cameras, allowing you to examine difficult-to-reach areas normally hidden from sight.

A common question: Does anyone have a solution for how to do programming online for Mercedes cars?

obdii365.comreplied:

Online programming:

Original online scn coding and authorization ID account from the original Mercedes is required. C4 clone is not possible because MB banned it worldwide. Don’t waste your time. Go offline programming instead.

Offline programming:

You can do offline programming withSD C4 & DAS offlinewith database or with Vediamo /DTS Monaco (with calibration files).

How to set up Vediamo or Monaco forSDconnect C4 DOIP?

I have a successful case to share with you (Credits to @ karakan0 .

Recently I have modified my SDconnect C4 DOIP.

With the current config on my StarPC, vediamo is doing his job perfectly over WIFI.

It is detecting the C4 with DOIP – of course I need to connect my LAN cable to the MUX if I really do need to use DOIP.

Vediamo setup:

CBF side:

SMR side:

This is my current in DTS Monaco:

Related Operation Guide:

Mercedes Benz DoIP Hu5 Hu6 Hu7 coding / programming with DTS Monaco 8.13.

If you are unfamiliar with Vediamo or Monaco, it’s time to leave the known territory behind and start learning new stuff!

Look atMoe Vediamo + DTS Monaco Engineer System Training Books

It is packaged with 1pc * DTS Monaco Engineering Software Training Book

1pc* Vediamo Engineer System Training Book

Use LAN cable or Wifi for DOIP?

I have only used the LAN cable for DOIP (because it is a requirement), for wifi it is not so stable.

Someone feedbacked "DTS Wifi work only with the new variant of clone ("XC4Plus orsd connect c4 Plus").
DOIP Setting C4 DTS see images below. Don’t forget press the "ethernet Activation” than.”

This is not true . Sd c4 work by wifi DTS monaco must only transfer Toolkit folder from Xentry to DTS and all work perfect.

Besides, you should have proper ip and proper serial number for doip. Here you for for sdconenct C4 DoIP setting procedure:

Confirmed:OBDSTAR X200 Pro2is the best oil service reset tool for Maserati. The Pro2 supports up to 2021 year ( working together with one more FCA adapter). X200Pro doesn’t work on Maserati 2018 or up, while X200 PRO2 works on some models up to 2021.

OBDSTAR FCA adapter image source:https://www.obdii365.com/wholesale/obdstar-fcs-12-8-universal-adapter.html

OBDSTAR X200 Pro2 Maserati Oil Service Reset Coverage (The list is not up-to-date, please check the machine for the latest):

OBDSTAR X200 Pro2 is able to reset oil service for Maserati in 1 minute:

How it works? watch the following video on 2017 Maserati Levante Oil Reset with OBDSTAR X200 Pro2

Simple guide: Click on "Service” -> All -> Oil / Service reset -> newest version -> VCI is upgrading -> Europe -> Maserati -> Levante -> 2017 ->IPC -> Please switch on the ignition, and switch off the engine -> Reset Success (The effect can be seen on the instrument).

Users’ test reports speak louder than words:

Review 1.

I received theOBDStar X200 Pro 2today and.it worked!!! I was able toreset my service indicator message and turn off the green service wrench in less than 15 seconds!!! This thing is the real deal!

Review 2.

The OBDSTAR x200 Pro2 will clear any light that comes on the dash and tell you what the reason for the light is. It has many functions which includeresetting intervals and a normal OBD code reader/ clearer.

It will allow you to reset trouble codes which will likely turn off the check engine light. However, depending on the issue your car has it may well come straight back on. The key thing is to use it to determine the trouble codes and then research what they mean. Tons of info online. Depending on the code(s), you can try a reset but it may also mean going straight to the dealer. If it is serious you should not reset the codes as the dealer will need that info to diagnose the problem.

Review 3.

Got an OBDSTAR x200 Pro2 last week. Worked as advertised onmy 2014 GT Sport Convertible. Was surprisingly easy for a rook like me, once I found the OBD port.

It resets to only the 12.5k mile interval, though. Didn’t see a way to customize.

I have successfully reading a VW Passat year 2016 Bosch EDC17C74 ECU using KTAG.

I boughtKtag 7.020 SW V2.25with Red PCB EU because I want to read an EDC17C74 ECU but it caused many headache. I cannot afford an original ktag, so got the clone instead.

In the first step verify your cables. I have attached a drawing found on the net and you can check your GPT cable. In my case the Chinese GPT cable it is reversed the orange and the yellow. You can see in the first and second picture that the pin 21 orange cable and pin 18 is yellow. According the kess diagram original need to be yellow pin 21 and orange pin 18.

Next step use a powerful adapter. I used an 1A adapter but after changed with a 2A worked fine.

Now I can read and write without any problem a BOSCH EDC17C74 ECU with protocol P705, both flash and EEPROM.
