There are different versions of the ISTA diagnostic program, each with its own features and requirements. Let's take a look at the main differences between these versions:
ISTA Standalone:
This version of the program is a diagnostic tool that requires a license to use and must be activated. The installation process is fully automatic and can be completed with just one click. The latest version, 4.41.41, also provides an update for programming files to the latest version.
ISTA Basic:
This version is a basic ISTA program with a lower version number than the current Standalone version, but it still comes with an auto-installer. To update the program files to the latest version of ISTA, you must manually update the files required for programming using the installation console called "IstaLauncherConsole," or by placing the files in the appropriate location (instructions on how to do this are included). The current basic ISTA 4.32.xx license is included and does not require activation. Upgrade programming files to the latest version, 4.45.xx, are also provided.
ISTA iLean:
This is the latest dealer version of the program and is updated in real-time via the Admin Client provided by us. The installation process is very easy and automatic. However, to use ISTA iLean, you must have a 3-6 or 1-year subscription. The latest version, 4.45.xx, is provided with many languages, and an HDD update with the latest Road Maps is available separately to buy for your current subscription plan.
Update ANY ISTA with Delta Files:
Please be aware that there is NO "update" available for the main program. Such an update does not exist until the supplier creates a new standalone version. The update with the delta files is only for programming data SDP and BLP. The main program always remains at version e.g. 4.41.41 after the update, and the programming data will be the latest e.g. 4.45.xx and so on.
Please Note: All ISTA versions are offline versions that are not connected to the BMW backend server and, therefore, do not support the secure coding needed for newer BMW series. However, it is possible to arrange secure encoding.
Importand Info:
These are not patched, cracked, Chinese versions and similar weird stuff! All ISTA versions available here are created exclusively by @Sedoy and only available in our shop!
In summary
ISTA Basic, ISTA Standalone, or iLean ISTA differ only in their respective versions. iLean ISTA undergoes real-time updates throughout the subscription period, ensuring the latest features and improvements. In contrast, the other versions remain unchanged until the creator releases a new version.
