Hello I have a problem with ista on a Bmw e46 and e83 x3 when I try to read out the vehicle it says it can’t find the vehicle or something like that and so I have to input the vin number manual but then it can only find the DDE module and all the other is not communicating. But when I then try on a Bmw e61 there is no problem and I can read out the vehicle. Do anyone know what’s wrong. Is it because pins 7-8 is not connected I have heard something about that but I just want to be safe before I buy one with a switch on. Hope someone can help me

Before 03/2007 you need a bridge at pin 7 and pin 8 ..
Or the pin7 pin8 connector ..
Because of K-Line ..
From year 03/2007 it is via Dcan and no Pin7-Pin8 bridge or connector is needed.

Max Diag 2 with Pin7-Pin8 Connector and you can make all Bmw E models (OBD2) from year 2000 to today .. F, G models can be treated with Ista as well since Enet is only needed for encoding.

I notice that the "Optional equipment" doesn't show anything in this version (the VO), using icom as a connection.

Short question..
How to code Bmw motorcycles, can you encode motorcycles at all?
Do you need a K-Dcan interface and ICOM D adapter for Bmw motorcycles, or do you need an ICOM for diagnosis and ABL?

Would like to read on a Bmw motorcycle fault memory, make ABL ..

For diagnoses is enough the K-Dcan cable, but for coding/programing must be use ICOM-A (or next) and ICOM-D!

Where to buy good quality ICOM D cable that works on all motorbikes.

From a dealer, for example.

But, ICOM-D works not on all motorbike, only with most circular connectors.
The R1500 series is already plugged in with this circular connector, but still needs additional cable adapter!

After removing my old ISTA-D and installing this new version, using all the SQ Databases (ENG, GER, OTHER) and using the following fix:

"LogisticBaseVersion" = "4.09.20"
"SWIData" = "4.09.20"

I am still getting the DSS error (00046632EN) and I cannot readout the VIN manually. You guys any other tips? I did run all the tools updates, including Rcleaner.
