ISTA+ Programing Software Update

JBA87 · 04-06-2021, 09:16 PM

I downloaded ISTA+ (latest version from www.Bimmerdiagnostics.com) so I could do a software update on my M5. I want to flash the latest stock TCU and ECU firmware. After I run my
Test plan, however, the software update module is unavailable. Does anyone know how to fix? I'm wondering whether I need additional software or need to modify certain settings

Thanks to anyone who can help

You need ICOM, you can not flash with ISTA+ over enet.

Do not recommend this website. Ista + installation didn't work as per the instructions provided. Seller nowhere to be seen and no response for emails

What version are you running? While you can program via ENET on ISTA, using and ICOM (with ISTA) or eSys (with ENET) are both better options.

If the option is not available ensure psdzdata is correctly installed.

Actually i never recommend to update ECU over ENET! Some module yes it possible to do, but over ESYS not Ista.
