hi
I installed an ista update and diagnosed a backend issue with my vehicle, I don't know what's wrong can you help me?
Thanks in advance

You ask for help and hide the VIN, which is crucial to properly answer your question??? Come on... I would guess your car is older one (maybe E39 or the like) which does not have full VIN stored in any module, just short ones. Hence ISTA told that it can't identify the car without connection to backend. You could start identification by VIN, enter it in full THEN connect to a car.

So my guess was correct.
RE: ista backend problem - csajap - 31-05-2022
What you said is that when diagnosing, first manually enter the vehicle identification number before connecting
RE: ista backend problem - Node - 31-05-2022
Yes. That is a workaround for old cars and offline ISTA. Because ISTA does not know type code of a car without full VIN.
It's not needed for a bit newer cars which have full VIN stored in at least some modules. Of course normally when you use ISTA with connection to BMW backend that is not required either for any cars.

I understand thank you for your reply, I will try to connect the car again

This is normal for at least like 5 years now...
