Native install is best so you can update.

ISTA-P is not the same thing as Rheingold. See software and interface overview below:

E-Series:
  • Interface = K+DCAN Cable (OBDII to USB) or ICOM
  • ECU Data Files = SP-Daten
  • NCS Expert = Coding Software
  • WinKFP = Programming (Flashing) Software
  • EDIABAS = Low Level ECU Communication Software used by NCS Expert & WinKFP
Fxx- / Ixx- / Gxx-Series, Mini, & Rolls-Royce:
  • Interface = ENET Cable (OBDII to RJ45 Ethernet) or ICOM
  • ECU Data Files = PSdZData
  • E-Sys = Coding Software
  • E-Sys = Programming (Flashing) Software
ICOM
  • ICOM A: main interface
  • ICOM B: adapter for programming multimedia in E series
  • ICOM C: adapter for old BMW with round 20 pin diagnostic plug
  • ICOM D: adapter for motorcycles
Additional Dealership Level Software
  • ISTA+ (AKA Rheingold or ISTA-D)
    • DIAGNOSTICS for All Vehicles
    • PROGRAMMING for F/I/G/RR & MINI, but requires an ICOM
  • ISTA-P
    • PROGRAMMING traditionally for all chassis, but is being phased out by August 2017, except for legacy E-series.
    • Replacement ECU's must be NEW
  • MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:
    • Windows 7-10 Computer
    • ISTA+: 22 GB Installation + > 2 GB free space to run (Diagnostics Only).
      • Additional 70 GB SDP & ICOM to program (Excludes E-series)
    • ISTA-P: 112 GB Installation
    • At least a processor with 2 cores and 2.2 GHz
    • At least 4 GB RAM

RE: What ISTA-P is best for starters
Oh, OK, thank you for the info!
Then I will download a native version, is there any you would recommend?
Will the native version require any kind of payment to online services?
And do you maybe know of FAQ page where I could check for answers
regarding installation and setup for Icom etc.
Sorry for all the questions

  • Separately downloaded *.exe & *.istap:
  • Run with ISTA-P Loader 6.1F and you will not need Admin Client to install or run
  • Backup installation (C:\ProgramData\BMW) before running. Any file modifications (eg, running in Expert Mode) will result in failed update attempts
For ICOM, lock IP with something like iToolRadar. Use search function. There are plenty of guides.

ISTA-P User Guide.

RE: What ISTA-P is best for starters
A little hint:

Version 3.60.4.001 is the latest update version.

The next major version is 3.61.0.500, followed by 3.61.1.001.

So you just have to download and install the last two I mentioned to have an up to date system, forget about the rest...

ISTA = Rheingold.
ISTA-P & ISTA+ can co-exist.
