Good evening people!

This is just to satisfy my curiousitu really, but since I know there are many members here that work at bmw dealers maybe you can shed some light on this.

When dealers get stuck on a vehicle they can request an Irap session from technical support. But what exactly is the irap? Is it just a remote access protocol to let TS connect to your workshop network? And how do they perform work on the car? With a remote ista client with “admin” privileges? Or do they use for instance Esys?

When an session is started, can the local workshop tech see anything that is being done to the vehicle? Or is it just staring at a “blank” screen?

And on another note, if they don’t use esys, who does? Except us of course. I’m talking in official matters. Who did ESG develop esys for?


Thanks for any insight on his
