Access to ISTA?

Can anyone point me in the direction of acquiring a current version of ISTA?

Bimmer Geeks.
https://www.bimmergeeks.net/downloads

The Rheingold download includes ISTA.
You can also buy a better cable from their site to flash modules that most cables can't (due to bad firmware).

Thank you. Only works on a PC right?

The latest version of ISTA+ can be found on rutracker.org.

That said, you will most likely be fine with Rhiengold ISTA on Bimmergeeks as our cars don't really have any real updates since forever now.

You will require windows and ISTA/D does consume a lot of space with SQLite so I would make sure you have at least 150GB space free to install. You can trim it down by avoiding some items here and there.

You can do it on a mac with Virtualbox, VMWare Fusion, Parallels or Boot Camp. Keep in mind how much space you have allotted for it.

Good luck!

Thank you! I'll have an older windows (3 years) dedicated to it with not much else on the computer

The only thing i really want to do is activate the DCT pump for the fluid change I'm
About to do. I think the older one should suffice.
