Awesome dude, glad I could help, txs for watching, if you haven't done so already, please like and subscribe !

Glad it helped! zytek, dont forget to like and subscribe ! :) adrian

Let me know how it works out for you !

my pleasure !

no problem any time, glad you found my video, txs for watching

txs Claudio

@@AdrianJayeOnline could you please tell me what is better the VCX or the icom next or the icom a2 + b + c?

@@claudioagmfilho Hey Claudio, first thanks for the continued support of my channel, and the answer to your question is, I do not know I'm afraid, because I would use ESYS or the official BMW tools, they are NOT user friendly though.

my pleasure !

my pleasure !

hey mike txs for viewing and your comment if you go to 1:47 you need to set local area network (LAN) IF it does ask you for an IP address, open a CMD prompt, type in ipconfig, and get your ip v4 address, something like 168.1.2.3 nd use that, I couldn't get anything else to work

ALSO make sure your LAN port is working, try connecting to your home network, router or office using the LAN, if it does work, then the ENET cable will work, if not, yourLAN port is kaput, if the LAN works then the cable is faulty, you also need to make sure ISTA works with the USB K CAN, if that works, GENERALLY ISTA is fine and it's your ENET cable

also no network settings need to be set on the laptop, LAN either works or doesnt, make sure it's not disabled in device manager in windows

ALSO.. LOL, on mine, it's wouldnt go any further, than checking codes, it will freeze, I even tried another cable, could be my ista, but others have got it to work, I just use my k-can, that works fine

Hey Brian, I don't see why not, all the adaptor is doing is taking it to an ethernet, it should, pls try and report back, a lot of new laptops DONT have LAN as majority of people have fast wifi

wondering if this works?

It does 😂 I ran a usb c to Ethernet to a 50ft Ethernet cable to a Ethernet adapter to a obd cable and it worked no problem

@@table196 Haha thanks for coming back to this question. I sadly couldn't test it since I dont have a bmw for about 1/2 more months.

I've tried a K+Dcan cable on an F60 Mini Cooper and it worked alright for scanning codes. From what I understand you can't program with it.

Hey Philip, in fact you can and I do !, Stay tuned, I have just finished a video (due to edit and upload today) where I use Ista on my f series using K can you can use both, you just need to change the settings as shown, between network and edibias (K can) I swap between them all the time

@@RonyIsaPony I've not done any programming, but from what I've heard there is NO reason you can't if it is able to speak to the DME for Ista to communicate then yes it can, hope this help

Here's the Video, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YmZdaXGjvEU.html

this particular setup, ie ENET and ISTA will work only with BMW "BASED/OWNED" so MINI and ROLLS ROYCE (yes ROLLS ROYCE is now owned by BMW) other than those 2 no

I'm afraid I dno't know, I only am aware only of the E, F & G series, pls join a BMW forum and ask the question there, Bimmerfest is a good place to start

what car do you have, do you get the first screen but it does not populate at all, do you get any error messages

18 330ix. Following your steps, I can select my car. I noticed the color circle is white. my car is blue. It starts to run. and just runs until it quits. it takes a while to quit. I can take a picture of the error message. I'll run it again. i found another version but couldn't get past the license and key. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I'm willing to get this to work, so if you need something from me, lmk

@@lwjaa hey there, ok txs, so, when your at the bit you select your car, when you click that, (or select it really) the whole bar is selected, (from the video) go to the bottom make sure STANDARD ICOM is selected (with an X) then click set up connection... what this is doing is creating a IP address to connect to the car... Imagine your home laptop, when you connect to your wifi, you select the wifi and hit connect :) NOW.... at this point it should only take a minute, if it isnt that means that ISTA (laptop) can't connect to the car (WIFI) so that can be a number of things 1> faulty cable 2> Incorrectly configured software 3> Issue with the car... all of the above are over the pervue of a simple reply on youtube, recheck and if still a problem, I'm on bimmerfest, please post there and we can see if we can help further, HTH Adrian

@@lwjaa also 2018 330ix should run ista+ with enet

Hoping the below information helps thanks for the view and positivity ! ISTA+ (AKA Rheingold or ISTA-D) 1. DIAGNOSTICS for All Vehicles 2. PROGRAMMING for F/I/G/RR & MINI, but requires an ICOM • ISTA-P 1. PROGRAMMING traditionally for all chassis, but F-/I-/G-series phased out with 3.63.5 release (March 2018). 2. ICOM Recommended. An ICOM emulator with K+DCAN or ENET can be used, but will NOT communicate over all protocols to program every ECU. 3. Replacement ECU's must be NEW

NP, no the VIN is not your IP address, if you follow exactly how I do it, your ista should detect your cable and connection and connection to the car, look at timestamp @3:17 if it diesnt, it "usually" is 169.254.11.8 / in my case, another person said it was 169.254.1.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0

@@AdrianJayeOnline I gave up on that version of ista. trying to download an older version. I could not get the version I had to run. and what I meant was when I try to enter the vin manually into ista, even that wouldnt work, not use the vin as the IP. appreciate the info. if I have any issues with this version will definetly be asking some question.

Hey txs ! for sure, the FEM controls the front windows the the REM controls the rear ones. The actual module is located in the A-Pillar, front passenger side. If thats bust , a new one needs to be coded with a VIN

are you sure it's not the switch, as the passenger and driver would be broke, also google "reset BMW windows"

Hi Adrian thx for the info I've checked the buttons and both work well the error I get is 030095 I've tried googleing it but can't find what it means if I use ISTA to find the issue will it remove the performance modes I have ?

Also the ip address that you showed in your video where did that come from is it the module on the car that gave that ip?

Hi Adrian this might sound stupid, well a window still work if the power window fuse is blown?

not sure what you mean by 3x ? this is the first post i'm seeing. you dont say which car, which year, which model, are you even talking about a BMW, pls be more specfic

@@AdrianJayeOnline u said 3x in the vid

HI Virgo, thanks for the comment, I'm afraid I don't know, but I also don't think that is possible. HTH thanks for watching !

TBH I'm not sure, I've never done that, but I believe an ENET cable will work, as the ISTA software is the same, give it a try, wont hurt nothing and then respond back here

the k can cable to work you must have ediabas for that

I used kcan cable on my e88, i think it was an option for enet cable but my kan cable worked fine

F30 is not an E series. it is a F series. all enet cables should do it.

@@spamiser8991 ape brain, I'm asking for my e46 no shit f30 is f chassis

In Ista / Reingold, it uses databases. So basically the PROGRAM it self has different versions, but it is a BASE program. It relies on being updated by various databases. This connects to your car. IF the databases are wrong, you'll have a problem. I would suggest to make sure you have all the proper databases, you could go to Bimmerfest (BMW forum) and ask on the coding section, somone may have a link for the correct databases. Hope this helps

Ista is also a MINI Rolls Royce software so you MUST make sure you have all the right software and databases

hi which end is not plugging in, the OBD end or the lan end, I've seen this on some computers, sometimes the lan cable or port is like flush and you need to pull it down, if it's the obd2 end, it is a simple push fit, should not be clipped in at all, does depend on the cable, let me know which end pls, if laptop end, give me the laptop model number pls

@@AdrianJayeOnline OBD end. It's tight for my 2017 X5 and my wife's 2020 X4M. This is the one I bought: OHP ENET Cable BMW OBD | ICOM E-SYS ISTA | Bootmod3 Bimmercode F- Series OBD2 | Germany Made Heavy Duty Cable

@@drzpapi413 ahh ok, so no way it should be tight, it's jiust a loose push fit, I do NOTICE that there is a little clip which is there, if you look at the bimmergeeks cable, (www.bimmergeeks.net/product-page/bimmergeeks-pro-cable) they clip is missing, sometimes that causes problems, also it can cause you not to be able to pull the cable out easily, do make sure the pins are not bent, should NOT be a tight fit, I can't really offer any support on this, due to the nature of youtube, I am on a site called bimmerfest, do post there and we can exchange screenshots etc. or do talk to the supplier

HI Allan, thanks for the comments, I did not need to do anything, i.e. set any com port up, I simply plugged in the cable into my Ethernet port, exactly has shown, it detected the ethernet port and ISTA assigned 169.254.1.1 as you can see at timestamp @3.17 I have heard of the PAD error message, it's usually an issue with ista, where did you get it and what version ? There isnt enough room or ability on this channel to diagnose, I would suggest joining bimmerfest forum, where you can share screengrabs and we can have a proper conversation on line.

BTW my search broadcast was 255.255.255.255 @1:55 perhaps it is different depending on your laptop or car connection ?

google up, there are a few p[laces which have it or goto a BMW forum and ask there, bimmerfest for example, I don't have any links

I forget now, it was a place here in TO, please see my pinned comment on another source and a chance to win one

Hi Mayana, txs for your comments, a friend sent me the software and I got my cable from a local shop, I am in Canada, so I don't know how relevant my info would be, for the software join a BMW forum such as Bimmerfest or 1addicts, most ppl there have links for ista, and cable, just look up BMW obd2 enet cable, you can get them on ebay and also amazon, just google it up

www.1addicts.com/forums/

Hey Adam, I use ista+ but it should work with the full Reingold suite, i.e. winkp, esys etc

Ok thanks I’ll take a look

Where can I get software cable didn't come with it?

@@rlljr103082 if you google there are lots of retailers mainly amazon, I'll be doing a video shortly for a retailer with a promo code

not sure, it could be you don't have edibias set up, or it could be a wierd version or older version of Ista, even my older version had this, there is a program on line of you google for it, which would help, I can't remember what it's called now, also try asking the question on bimmerfest or 1addicts

could try this mega.nz/file/T0JyEAbQ#0dCExEqiyQzxPdCswgC9DWwZP77hSicDN9SUXrT4bp4

hi there, the cable "itself" doesn't do anything, except interface with a program which will do that, you would need either Ista, Esys bimmerlink (or bimmercode)

pls go to bimmerfest or bimmerpost or 1addicts, take a look at the programming forums, or you can google ista bmw, the software is free, i don't have the links, thanks for watching, pls like and subscribe

should do says it supports CAN 2.0 (CAN/ISO15765) K-line (ISO9141/ISO14230(KWP2000)/dual K line) no guarantees ! ;)

I do the install yesterday with openport clone and can confirm it worked, Thanks.@@AdrianJayeOnline

@@everttaube4089 HEYYYYY good job txs for getting back to me

ahh, yes... hmmm, I had that, do you know what version of ista your using, I can't remember where it is, if your stuck let me know, it could be you have an older version of ista, that happened to me I had to update mine, but let me know your version, I@ll check mine, it's on another laptop I "think" mine is 4.29

@@AdrianJayeOnline I have the same issue, the vehicle could not be identified. The ISTA version I have is 4.29.

LOL ja, das stimmt, sie ist jetzt 12 :) Danke fürs zuschauen

thanks for watching and commenting, not a very good description, not sure how I can help, this video has helped a lot of people please see the comments
