How to get online ISTA

[Iljxn]

Hello, I'd like to know if it's possible to put my ISTA online and have FASTA data transfer and backend functionality.

Thank you.

Also, a quick question: I'm a mechanic at a BMW dealership and I wanted to know if there's a difference in functionality between ISTA and ISTA+...

My registry keys are below.

1- what do you mean by ista and ista+ , do you guys have something called ista ?
2- you can't convert a ptached ista+ to work online , you need proper/offecial ista+ installation with original I-Lean license and valid online login from BMW.

Also, a quick question: I'm a mechanic at a BMW dealership and I wanted to know if there's a difference in functionality between ISTA and ISTA+...

If you are a mechanic at BMW, you must already have login/password etc... to login to BMW backend...

But installing BMW softwares on your personal laptop with your IDs will register it in BMW system and it will be tied to your name, any admin dealer from your workshop will be able to see if if they monitor laptop registrations... do you really want this ?

Yes, ISTA+ doesn't officially exist at BMW; it's just "ISTA." The ECU tree functionality isn't the same, etc. I wanted to know if that was the only difference, or if ISTA+ has other differences from the OEM version.

Yes, I do have my S-Gate login details, but I don't want to link them to this computer, which makes sense since it's forbidden... I just wanted to have an ISTA Online to transfer the FA/VO code online.

ISTA+ is ISTA.

I'm not sure to understand your actual needs... and what you want to achieve...

But you may want to look for AOS tool : https://www.bimmerscene.com/showthread.php?tid=9233

If you want to upload a modification to BMW backend, then I don't know how you can achieve it without registering your laptop to BMW servers. and even if doable, do you really want to inject into BMW servers something not made at your workshop but registered with this workshop ID ?

For example, if I change my FA/VO code and code the M Sport package options to a non-M Sport package, when you go to the My BMW app the car looks the same, but if you connect it to an ISTA with FASTA data, the options will update and the changes will be immediate. It's for this kind of modification that I wanted the online ISTA and to have access to technical campaigns because sometimes AIR isn't accessible from home.
