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.

Ahh but you can buy an Icom and use the Online ISTA BMW provides. it is what our workshop uses along with an Autologic. I programed a F01 for a body shop today..... No need for the dealers
