Newbie looking for ISTA+ guidance.

[jmboyle92]

New to the Forum, and trying to figure out how to download ISTA+. So I can work on our 2017 BMW X5 5.0. I need to install and code a new set of VDC rear shocks and airbags. From what I have read I need ISTA+ to perform this maintenance work. Can someone please guide me through this? I have done coding work with an Audi A3 I have. But have zero experience with BMW's.

Just search for it online im not sure if i am allowed to put links here , but dont pay for it

You need a enet cable for f series bmw

Or use bimmercode much easier with a enet cable
For coding

Ista for diagnosis
Inpa for coding

[jmboyle92]

Bimmercode software won't code EDC shocks to the car will it?.

For coding its better to do it using esys, it much faster. Bimmercode cant code new modules.
