(solved) F cars unable to comunicate - borzech - 26-10-2017

Hello everyone, I use Rheingold 4.07 with Icom A2. E cars is no problem to scan like E70, E60, E46, but F cars like F30, F80, F10, etc, Rheingold has problems to scan. It can read the IP address of the Icom during identification, but after establishing communication, the connection is lost. I use Windows 10 and I even disabled all other network cards and Icom is connected directly to PC using Cat5 cable.
Anyone had similar situation?

Any input will be appreciated

Disable use Ethernet as preferred communications channel in settings. Does ICOM indicate car's VIN in connection manager? If not, and if its a clone, it can miss required circuitry for communication over D-CAN and Ethernet.

It reads VIN number, but later it lost connection. I replaced previously wireless card, but I guess even if I disable all network cards besides ethernet, it still interferes in the system. I guess I need to reinstall system.

I told you to disable "use Ethernet as preferred communications channel" in settings. Have you done that?


RE: F cars unable to comunicate - borzech - 26-10-2017

Sorry for dumb question, but Where can I find this setting?


RE: F cars unable to comunicate - Node - 26-10-2017

Wrench icon in ISTA-D top right. Then last or near-last tab (don't remember exactly).


RE: F cars unable to comunicate - borzech - 26-10-2017

I don't have it. Last tab is Vehicle Interfaces Configuration. Interface type chosen is Icom/Enet LAN, on right side ISIS hosts is blank, search broadcast: 255.255.255.255, 169.254.255.255, 192.168.255.255 and SCORE broker hosts: 127.0.0.1. Second to last is Initial Operation Settings tab and there is only unchecked start trace logging at start operation, before is version tab, then dealer data and first is client settings. I reinstalled all rheingold and still no luck.

Take a look to the attached image.


RE: F cars unable to comunicate - borzech - 27-10-2017

I don't have it. Can you please send me ISTAGUI.exe.config file? It has to be in those settings. It's a text file. Thanks.


RE: F cars unable to comunicate - Node - 27-10-2017

It's not in config file. You can find it in registry though.
Path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BMWGroup\ISPI\Rheingold
Key: TesterGUI.PreferEthernet
Value: False

But I wonder why you do not have it in GUI. Are you using any recent version?
