Possible to use Older ISTA-D with new DB2.40?

Is it possible to use an Older ISTA-D for example 4.15 with an newer DB 4.20 ?

its possible, you have to make a new key in registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\BMWGroup\ISPI\Rheingold]

"BMW.Rheingold.Database.CheckAppVersion.Enabled"="False"

and change product version in registry from your installed new standalone ista:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\BMWGroup\ISPI\ISTA]
"ProductVersion"="4.15.16.17369"

Make esys read the psdzdata from the Rheingold

Q: How to make esys read the psdzdate from the Rheingold?

A:

You can do that with mklink.
Let's assume that the PSdZ data are located at Rheingold under C:\WINDOWS\system32>mklink\ C:\ Program Files (x86) \ Rheingold\ PSdZ\data_swi \ psdzdata

As an administrator, you open the CMD console.

open CMD with admin rights

mklink /d C:\Data\psdzdata "C:\Program Files (x86)\Rheingold\PSdZ\data_swi\psdzdata"

copy this command if your

Esys Data path is C:\Data and your Rheingold Path C:\Program Files (x86)\Rheingold\

Through this action, the PSdZ data of Rheingold for E-SYS are now firmly linked.

INPA reprograms a new battery to BMW 328i: Done!

Tutorial + FAQs: BMW 328i new battery reprogramming/coding

Reason why you need “code” for a new battery:The answer to this varies. You may not have to! That is, so long as you replace your old battery with an exact replacement. However, if you switch from a wet-cell type battery to an AGM type battery, or vice versa, you must code for the change.

AGM and wet-cell batteries require a different rate of charge output from the alternator. Moving between these two types without coding can lead to over-charging or under-charging.
Also, batteries have a discharge rating called amp hours (ah). You must specify to the DME what the “ah” rating of your battery is so the car can run the proper charging algorithm.

Car: BMW 328i the year 2008

Software: INPA and Ediabas

How to reprogram a new battery with INPA software:

1: select BODY from the left hand pop-up menu

2: select POWER MODULE in the right hand list

3: select ACTIVATE from the next menu

4: Select ACTIVATE2 from the next menu

5: Then select F7 – Register battery replacement. Almost instantly you get the message: “Register battery replacement Activated properly.

THIS IS ONLY FOR REGISTERING AN OEM BATTERY FROM BMW! Alternate replacements will need additional coding to match voltage etc differences

Battery capacity / type in the FA change with NCS expert

FA read -> prepared following the new battery parameters in the FA change (eg,-A100,-B090 ..) -> FA in CAS and LM (depending on BJ o.FRM) Review – encode> Vehicles

FAQs for more details: 

1) Can I update the VO to CAS and FRM in expert mode? if not, what profile would I need?

only expertmode

2) Can I SG_Codieren to CAS in expert mode as well? Or would I need a profile with Manipulation enabled?

expertmode + sg_codieren = ecu to deflaut settings(factory)

3) When registering the battery in tool32… Do I use the MSD80.prg file for a 2008 328i?

yes but to be sure check what .prg use inpa to connect to your engine

• Would NCS Expert be needed or just INPA alone?

Try with INPA

5) So will both NCS Expert and BST 2.12 run on win7 64 bit?

BST 212 will work on 64bit OS.

6) Any leads on where to find updated Datens or INPA?Here’s 2013 sp daten 2.51.2 full package for all cars (torrent download). Torrent files are split by chassis number so you can choose to download part or all of the archives: http://www13.zippyshare.com/v/94958605/file.html

7) If I only need e90 support, I can just use INPA and EDIBAS that comes with the above posted BST 2.12 ??? If that’s it, then I can go ahead and install this puppy… SP daten files are for Winkfp and NCS expert for programming and coding only.

Note: SP Daten E89 = E81,E82,E84,E87,E88,E90,E91,E92,E93.  Inpa is used for basic diagnosis and some adjustments, no coding. Mainly works on cars 2008 and below. Limited use on newer cars. You should install the package that comes with your cable as it’ll contain most of the ipo files needed to communicate with your car. But I recommend you install the new 2018 Rheingold software instead for diagnosis as it’ll do everything inpa does and a lot more. It’s easier to use and works on all cars and can be used with the K+DCAN USB cable or the blue GT1/DIS USB cable (note: the blue usb cable works on cars < 2007 only). You’ll find the Rheingold download and instructions on this blog http://blog.obdii365.com .

How to Resolve BMW ICOM ISTA/D license expired Error

Many BMW ICOM users will no doubt have encountered a situation where they have had Rheingold ISTA/D running successfully on their computers, only to later encounter the situation where they can no longer access the software and get a license expired message. The majority of suggestions to resolve this situation found on the internet suggest that users adjust the bios setting of their machines to a date before the original license expiry date but as the result of an enquiry from another user, I decided to post my resolution of this problem (which has been tested and found to work on machines running both Windows 10 and XP Operating systems):-

1. Run Regedit
2. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3. left click SOFTWARE
4. left click BMWGROUP
5. left click ISPI
6. left click Rheingold
7. on the right hand panel of the screen, left click Licence and choose Modify
8. Be careful to modify only the entries on this line as described...use the left arrow key to scroll along the line to a date format entry, which is followed by the words Package Expire and change the date to 2072-09-20

9. After you have changed the package expiration date, continue to use the left arrow key to scroll further back along the line until you find another date format entry, which is followed by the word Expiration (this date will be identical to the original entry that you altered during the last step) - change this date to 2072-09-20

10.When you have completed the above changes, collapse the registry editor back to show only the HKEY menus, then close the registry editor and restart your computer.

11. CONGRATULATIONS, your Rheingold licence is now current until 2072-09-20. Note when editing the expiration date for ISTA, you should maintain the original date format (usually YYYY MM DD) - as some packages use an underscore and some use a hypenated seperator for date entry values.

If you can't find it at that registry entry, try here-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BMWGroup\ISPI\Rheingold

Download Rheingold ISTA + 4.09.13 Standalone version

The BMW ICOM ISTA standalone version is a version that disables some hardware checks and server checks that are unnecessary for individual users.

As you know, ISTA-D can receive the data related to the vehicle maintenance from the BMW server. If you are a general individual user, you can not access the BMW network anyway.

The installation process is similar to the basic ISTA-D installation process, and the required files are almost all contained within the archive. There is only an RCleaner that initializes the registry, which is included in the ISTA-D download link, so download it if you need it.
