These videos will be a must to anyone who picks up ISTA in the future! I’ve had it over a year and just started messing with it last week. Took me days to understand what you went over in 19 mins 😂 can’t wait for the next vids!

This is completely new to me and explained impeccably but I don' see a 20 pin connector, not seen a socket in my 2014 F10 M5...

Thanks for your excellent content! I have a couple of questions about getting ISTA+ software and hardware.
I do plan to run ISTA+ on a PC laptop for portability. Any particular brand of PC and its configurations that you would suggest; in addition where I can acquire INSTA+ software to support BMW G30. Also any cables (i.e. ICOM, ethenet cable, etc.) required? Your comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Quick question for a beginner to ISTA, to use on an F15, do I need to use only an Ethernet cable? I am not seeing the diagnostic fault tree, so is it the cable issue on my ISTA the problem? Thanks, excellent overview, so very much appreciated.

Great video as always. Ignition ON as in the Car needs to be running ? Also, are you running ISTA+ on Windows XP or Windows 7/8/10 ? Thank you.

Hi, Thank you very much for the informative video. Have you made a video on how to adjust an electronic wastegate calibrate with Ista+? Is it possible to use Ista+ to activate a DPF regeneration? Thanks in advance:-))

I think you need to connect to the vehicle at least 1 time prior to choose by VIN(at least for 7 digit). I am getting VIN is invalid or has not been assigned. I'm waiting on my cable and wanted to see if I could find a bit easier to understand manuals but no luck yet. If I still get that error after getting my cable I'll update.
