Problem:
I had error when programming BMW F32 in ISTA-P 4.19.13 Expert Mode. Vehicle programming with ISTA/P is no longer approved for the connected vehicle. Vehicle management is now only possible with ISTA 4.
*Before version ISTA 4 it was called ISTA/D (aka Rheingold).
It would cover diagnosis on all cars.
Beginning from version 4 its called ISTA+.
Solution:
The error indicates that BMW F, I, G series programming is not available in ISTA-P (since version 4.19.xx), but in ISTA+ instead.
From version 4, besides diagnosis it also covers programming of F series.
and ISTA/P is left for programming of E series only (therefore ISTA/P can not program F series anymore).
Here’re tips to set up programming in ISTA+ ( Rheingold or ISTA-D).
Run ISTA+ software, identify vehicle
Then choose Service Plan
Choose Programming Plan
(CLICK TO ENLARGE IMAGE)
Then Execute measures plan
Follow ISTA prompts to carry out programming.

Customer problem:
I have a Launch X431 V+ and use it many times, it always works fine. But recently it cannot work normally. There is poor contact on the Bluetooth connector, I need to unplug and plug it in over 3 times so that it can work.
Obd2tool.com engineer replied:
Check if you contact with an extended line, if yes, remove the line to try again.
If it still failed to use, please open X431 APP and go to the personal center to fix the firmware.
