RE: ISTA+ Programming Expertmode (How to enable?) - tonemoz - 28-05-2017
This is what I see under the advanced tab of programming.
All required measures are greyed out and cannot be deselected or hidden.
Excuse the quality of the photo.
This would be very useful to solve!

Advanced has always be there. But the tab additional software is not greyed out anymore (at least not when entering vin).
Some more information of my setup.
I currently run ISTA+ 4.04 because there is not released language pack in my language. So i downloaded ista+4.05.31 app and eddited reg keys so i don't get error when starting up. Don't care about the language issues for now just want to know if expertmode is there and working. I have acces to a car tomorrow and will test if this works(ista+ 4.05.31 app with my editted reg keys and SDP 4.05.22 ofcourse).

Okay, or that is for fsc import/map update wich wil be released later or something else. Are you still connected to the car? If so can you run reg file I attached when using a win 64bit system? It only creates another reg key for expermode i wrote in the first post. Can easily deleted if it does not work. You may have to restart your laptop/pc.

I already have that reg key installed.
RE: ISTA+ Programming Expertmode (How to enable?) - larshutten - 28-05-2017
In the mean time i am still collecting some more information. I am not a expert on this but maybe someone else gets this??
This is in RheingoldMeasurement.dll
PHP Code:
internal static bool IsExpertModeEnabled
{
get
{
switch (true)
{
case true:
if (false)
;
if (true)
;
return ConfigSettings.getConfigStringAsBoolean("BMW.Rheingold.Programming.ExpertMode", false);
default:
goto case 1;
}
}
}
and i also found this can be nothing special as the same is in e-sys.
PHP Code:
ProgrammingUtils.AllowedTaCategories = new TaCategories[14]
{
TaCategories.BlFlash,
TaCategories.CdDeploy,
TaCategories.FscBackup,
TaCategories.FscDeploy,
TaCategories.FscDeployPrehwd,
TaCategories.GatewayTableDeploy,
TaCategories.HddUpdate,
TaCategories.HwDeinstall,
TaCategories.HwInstall,
TaCategories.IbaDeploy,
TaCategories.IdBackup,
TaCategories.IdDelete,
TaCategories.IdRestore,
TaCategories.SwDeploy
};

Okay thanks for the efford. (never saw a regfix with this key inside but maybe a download i missed).

As some of the members may noticed in the release notes of ISTA/P 3.61.4 the plan of BMW AG is to move over to ISTA+ for programming Fxx,Gxx and Ixx. Most of us with retrofitted modules use ISTA/P expertmode to avoid trouble when updating the car. So after ISTA/P 3.62 there are 2 options left. Using E-sys for updating or enable ISTA+ expertmode. I found a few traces of ISTA+ expert mode just like other members did in istagui.exe.config. I did some testing but I did not managed to get it working. So my question to all of you is did someone get it working or are some members willing to help for a solution.
What i did so far. (I am on win7 64bit system)
Changed the following in istagui.exe.config
PHP Code:<add key="TesterGUI.ExpertMode" value="true" />
<add key="BMW.Rheingold.Programming.ExpertMode" value="true" />
Added regkey
PHP Code:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BMWGroup\ISPI\Rheingold]
"BMW.Rheingold.Programming.ExpertMode"="True"
But still no luck...
Hope some of you can help sort this out!
Thanks!!
Yes.you're right.from 3.62,BMW AG will move programming function F,G,and I-Series to ISTA,only E-Series programming was supported by ISTA/P yet,so all of us face a situation is:activate ISTA single module programming function like ISTA/P expert mode.
I don't know how to do it,but any help if need.call me please.

Hi
i think you do not need to have all that trouble to have expert mode on ISTA D
1-Are you able to calculate a measures plan on your car?
2 -If yes you have two options
a)-you are on the same ilevel measures plan does not update any unit and shows two tabs-CONFORT and ADVANCED.
TAB-ADVANCED Allows to choose what units you want to program,code or replace unit by unit,then you update the measures paln and accept it and the process starts easly.
b) your car is on a lower level then your ista you get also the two tabs and ista shows two tabs CONFORT and ADVANCED-
ON CONFORT you have the updates needed to your units automatic.
ON Advance you can add the units you want.

We are talking about removing control units from the update. Expert mode within ista/p allows you to hide control units

With the same i level car and ista or different levels ?
