And here's the diagnosis counterpart of ISTA - ISTA/D. It's pretty straight forward but here's the detailed doc:

If you have to use NCSExpert, there's ncsdummy which makes using it easy. http://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/sh...-of-NCS-Expert. There're some things that ISTA (or for that matter the prior generation SSS) cannot do, e.g. it cannot setup door autolock when driving off on my 1997 E39. It says the feature is not available on year model of the car (indeed it's not officially from factory for USA models of that year), but NCSExpert happily configured it - go figure. |
What's the best way to get ISTA? Are there any special adapters required besides an OBD2 cable. I've heard many different things about that.
