Readiness is ridiculous, it takes forever. You can have no issues and have to wait. It's making me want to delete soon... pisses me off cause some people had to wait hundreds of miles. I followed the stupid drive cycle bs and blah. If I have to change a NOX sensor for the scr, that waste of 500 bux cause of BMW's rapey pricing will definitely make me chip/delete.

Im on 500 miles and theyre not ready, im pretty much already decided that i want to go down the delete and tune path, just want to get over this my nox and scr went right at purchase and told them id return it if they didnt replace it, so new scr and old dpf lol

But you just went through the dpf issue. Clear the codes and see if they return. Of course any code, and any clearing of codes- resets readiness.
My issue is that I get an occasional 4d16 bmw code, pending 20ee, which is scr efficiency. But I freaking passed the tests 2 weeks ago only for that code to pop up and destroy it. None of this sensitive stuff on other clean diesels, just bmw. Had they not made it so pricey to fix, I'd love to keep the emissions stuff, but really the pricing and price changes just questions sanity lol.

The light randomly went away and figured it was a good chance to try and get emissions done, no faults showeed during the exam just that 3 systems werent ready yet ( cat,cat heater and egr), ct allows one to not be ready as long as it isnt the cat or 02 im going to figure out how to get my cat and cat heater ready then return to my current issue as my due date is so close by

It's really not cat and heater.
In rheingold readiness you can see better and they give you info on how to run the cycle, fwiw.
Cat-> NHMC cat (nox sensing I believe?)
Heated Cat-> Nox/SCR

O2 heater as you see means dpf. Yours passed?

Diesel specific next to Generic readiness:

Yea my o2 heater passed lol i had to wash my car as the whole back was covered in soot it was begining to be tough to see out my back window and my exhaust was flat black, ill check out rheingolds set up to try and get my other two going. Do you recall which functions or troubleshoot to pull up the readiness monitors?

Service functions, under powertrain, dde. Smooth running control is also useful to check injector balance and a lot of other tests saree in there

I may need one of you legends to walk me through the final setup of my ISTA install

The one I have runs natively in Windows. It's the commonly shared one from a certain Russian site, but the instructions on the final Comms setups are lacking in detail.

Check this torrent, just download the tools folder pdf for instructions CarTechnoloGY

700 miles in NHMC catalyst monitoring still not ready lol
