WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 BMW 550i, 2009 BMW 550i, and 2008 BMW 550i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

In order to avoid incorrect programming procedures and fault messages, it is essential when working with the ISTA/P programming system always to use the version.
Battery voltage must not drop below 13.0 V during programming.
Connect battery charger prior to programming.

IMPORTANT: Prior to programming / encoding hybrid and electric vehicles disconnect the high-voltage system!

programming routine via ISTA/P:

Connect the battery charger to the vehicle.
Connect the programming system with the vehicle.
Determine the action plan.
Accept action plan with the control units to be programmed/encoded and enabled, if necessary or work through.
Observe the reworking list!
If applicable, connect the workshop system to the vehicle depending on the rework list, run the brief test and delete the fault memory.
NOTE: A switch to the workshop system may not necessarily be required with the integration of the service functions and the "Delete fault memory" function in ISTA/P. Check the rework list accordingly!
Compliance with the information about programming in workshop systems and the corresponding notes in the user documentation is required.
