ISTA+ V4.12 Expert Mode Activation, Single Module Programming

Does anyone have a solution for Ista+ Programming Expert Mode?
No expert mode available yet for ISTA+ v4.11.12.

This will be an issue in feature, expert mode can get you out of unpleasant work.
For example if you update i update a whole g11 with ista p and if you update kafas you lose fsc codes, so if i deselected kafas, fsc stayed unharmed. But you can do that now with ista+
One more important remark is that esys wont let you update a module that is allready updated, but ista let you do it, so after 7/11 psdzdate you are stuck with this issue too…

Best to use a router for programming HUH etc through ista
Or you can just use tftpd32 (or tftpd64 if 64bit OS)

Update: ISTA+ 4.12.12 has the expert mode – Confirmed!

Note that Ista+ expert mode is Ista P expert mode
ista-p-v-4-12
The difference between Expert mode and Ista plus?

The difference is his loader allows for hiding of modules
Ista plus does not he or someone may be working on an alternate loader to hide retrofitted modules but as it so far look into ESYS for that only option I can think of right now last istap that had a lot a F ,G or I cars was 3.64.2 as 3.65.0 only had like 2 model forget exactly which ones you have to double or make link dos command to point to istaplus PSdZ folder

Some new solutions to activate ISTA-P expert mode ?

so updating the folders in ISTA-P with the files from PSdz swe will not do the trick. You will be inserting back all the missing vehicles. I saw in the main series you will have to rename F, G, I series files to reflect.

after copy PSDz (data_swi) to pszdata ISTA P with correction data in mainseries, add data F001, F10,…etc = same result
ISTA P shows window that car is not programmable (only ISTA+)
trick is somewhere else

this is Ista p expert mode confirmed to work 100%


Why not just use a earlier version of ISTA-P (such as 4.08 or 4.10) to do single module coding?
Because what i am getting is there are problematic files out there that BMW knows about and in the latest version of ISTA+ it can stop from a certain update and keep the module on the one that works. So could you not reverse populate for example take the p-files from a later version to a previous but you would need all files and folders for example. anyone with more can chime in


Anyone has good success with Ista P expert mode?
Yep. Have tested Expert Mode on BMW e66

How to enable Basic Features in ISTA software

Enable basic features in the latest ISTA:
Add to ISTAGUI.exe.config file:
<add key=”BMW.Rheingold.VehicleIdentification.BasicFeatureIdentEnabled” value=”true” />

where to put it in the config file:

<!– OperationalMode –>
<add key=”BMW.Rheingold.CoreFramework.PrintingXpsPath” value=”..\..\..\Print” />
<add key=”BMW.Rheingold.VehicleIdentification.BasicFeatureIdentEnabled” value=”true” />

That comes very handy!

Here all models work in Basic features! Good job.
Btw, it does not work with the very latest models like G05, G07, G29.

Why do you need “basic features” & What it is:
If the vehicle identification number is unknown, you can alternatively use the “Basic features” tab.
ista-basic-feature
How to identify a vehicle via ISTA basic features:
◊ Click the “Identification” main menu. The “VIN” tab will be selected.
◊ Click on the “Basic features” tab.
◊ If required, choose another basic feature from the left-hand
“Basic features” selection list.
◊ Define the contents for the basic feature by selecting an entry from the central list.
◊ If necessary, repeat the entry with other basic features (the predefined sequence does not
have to be observed) or click the “Accept” button.
After the individual basic features, the workshop system only offers items that are compatible with
the previously selected ones. This excludes contradictory entries.
There is no need to enter all available basic features. However, you must define at least one. The
more completely you specify the basic features, the more precisely the workshop system can select
the matching documents.

NOTE
Without specification of E-designation and in some cases the model year and month,
vehicle-specific searches for the function structure, component structure, or service
function structure cannot be performed!

NOTE
It is not possible to manually select the features for security vehicles.
Security vehicles can only be identified via the VIN.

After entering the basic features a check is performed to see whether an operation with the
specified features is already present in the operations list and a selection is offered. If the selected
basic feature combination is unknown, a new operation is automatically created

Incomplete entry of basic features:
If you click the “Accept” button without having defined all “Basic features”, a popup window
appears containing a system message. Acknowledge the message with “Continue” to end the
vehicle selection procedure or return to selection of the basic features with “Cancel”.
ista-basic-feature-not-completed
On completion of vehicle identification, the display switches over to the “Operation details” menu
