Of course not. All auto manufacturers have to make their software available. The older BMW 2G software like the GT1 and PROGMAN setups are all over the place online as it can easily be set up on a windows based computer. The new 3G setup (ISTA) is a much more complex and expensive system based on a centralized server and satellite computers to access everything. I have yet to see an aftermarket option for this, so it is too expensive for most independent shops to justify having. And to top it off, once an integration level vehicle is programmed with ISTA it can't be touched with 2G anymore.
