What’s better INPA or PA soft 1.4??? Or is one better? Looking for something that I can shut of my air system warning after converting to springs and do some coding and programming?

I have both. There are some things BMW Scanner 1.4 can do that INPA cannot and there are things INPA can do that BMW Scanner 1.4 cannot. For the low price of each of the cables, it's a no-brainer.

I was using PA Soft until now and setting up INPA for some other stuff like steering angle calibrating and adaptation resets. PA can't do neither.

I use PA for the easiness of reading modules for fault codes and some coding like lights and options.

Hi, I'm using ISTA and getting right amongst it with resetting and playing with the air suspension.

Just learnt how to completely reset the EHC module today and playing around with ride heights... Pretty cool making the car go up and down with a click of the mouse....

I got a kit from EBAY with INPA, ISTA, SSS, Progman and other stuff I haven't explored yet for $79 inc cable from Romania

Cheers

Decided to order both, they are both so cheap!

Smart move! I think PA Soft and INPA will cover most of what the average user will need.

Saw an Ista download might grab that to!

Inpa (and its other packaged brethren) will do everything possible for an E53. Very powerful stuff - I wouldn't bother messing with PA soft.

Pa soft got the air system warning light off but would not reset my transfer case

Nope - resetting the transfer case (oil wear adaptations) requires DIS, ISTA or some third party tools - INPA or PASoft are not able to do this. :rolleyes:

I had been using ISTA+ with my F10 for years, and before that I was using DIS and SSS on my E53. Long story short, the F10 is no more (totaled), I no longer have DIS/SSS/INPA/Progman, and now I'm visiting dealer auctions looking at E-chassis cars that won't communicate over the F-chassis' ENET interface. I still have my USB-->OBD2 dongle and (for some reason) an older serial-->OBD2 dongle.

So, ISTA works with the E-chassis? Does anyone have any tips? I never was able to get my USB->OBD2 dongle working with ISTA.

Yes, it works very well. I'm in the process of writing a how to on what I'm up to with ISTA and my e53 4.8is

Cheers

Awesome! Keep me posted!
