Free download BMW ICOM ISTA-D 3.53 Rheingold and installation

Here obdii365.com introduces 2 ways of installing BMW ICOM A2 Ista-D Rheingold based on our customers’ experience.

The first is if you have a proper installer (msi) and the second i call spoog en plak.

1. The proper installer is if you are running the whole package Ispi, Ista-D and Ista-P, KSD and ETK etc. so it will work like the dealer software where everything is linked together with ISPI.

2. Spoog en Plak is if you are just running ista-D

If you have down loaded the MSI and only running ista_D forget about it.
Just download base file in my previous post in this thread.

1. Delete the previous version
2. Run RGCleaner
3. Unzip base files to program files
4. Using 7Zip extract SqLiteDbs to Rheingold folder.
5. Send shortcut to desktop and run program
6. The License file is in Rheingold folder to register

If you are running Ispi and need to update you first have to modify the MSI Installer with SuperOrca


Here is a new update
SQLiteDbs 3.53.13
3.53.13 BASE



As for Iceman007 comment on E46
I normally get the BMW INPA K+DCan cable with the switch- it makes life easier.
You can buy or build an adapter cable that will join pin 7 & 8.
The E46 was more K-Line so for communication pin 7 & 8 must be joined.

It is by downloading very large files from various places.
Here is a version on torrent.

Where is the problem? BMW ICOM is wrong? Be sent to the complaint? Or the whole software settings? This issue is urgent, please help and solutions.
Thank you.

This problem can have another, your customers, and so I send you pictures where the correct connector.

Wise way to buy BMW ICOM A2 without software

It’s a little expensive, i think, to buy a BMW ICOM A2+B+C diagnostic & programming system for a fresh car owner (BMW 3 series E46 320D 2005). Surfed the Internet, and found some ICOM Rheingold were offered in forums. But it is okay to do so? Honestly, a bit hesitant..

After a long-time consideration, decided to purchased a BMW ICOM A2, just the multiplexer without software shipped form HK.

Easy installation but no damage.. ICOM A2 interface, icom b most, some cables (20pin, usb, obd2, lan cable)

Then i downloaded

BMW ISTAD Rheingold 3.42.40 & ISTAP 2.52.3 VMware + Expert Mode.rar

and installed it on VMware player in Dell D630 with Window XP operating system.. The software version was kind od old, but it’s okay for me.. As a freshman, installation guide is very necessary!! Google and lots of ICOM software installation guide there..

Next i connected BMW ICOM interface to the laptop and my E46 320D, to calibrate/ reset BMW steering angle sensor with EDIABAS Tool32.

My steps:

Start launching Toolset 32

Find the DSC module and click “open”, for example, a E90 2005 320D it is DSC_87.prg)

Drop down the “Jobs” list and find out “lenkwinkel dsc abgleichen” option, ignition on and double click the option. Wait for about 10 seconds until the job is finished.

The steering Angle is calibrated and VIN is matched to car. Done!

Wow, never did something wiser than this, you know. $200 USD i saved.
