ISTA/P v41 download for BMW E60 CIC programming

Only way to do CIC programming on BMW E-series is to use Win KFP expert mode. Also it will be quite hard to find ISTA/P v41.

https://mega.nz/#F!h8wDiI5I!iOgwqkSLm_RykIQtxdg5LQ

CIC v41:https://mega.nz/#!sgYiBKrA!10vFSIfBZH5f2o0L-VNSiKTzBj_D8CMVUV-sHETG2GQ

(E89 file is not need but can cause problems in e60)

This is an Overwiew to downgrade E60 ECE CIC.
Look at this, it explains a lot

Free download Full SP-Daten v41, no password or other crap:

 

Overwiew Data E60 CIC ECE

In Tool32 run the job:
flash_programmier_status_lesen

My bet is it will return 7 – programming session active for CIC.

I guess as nothing happened during the ISTA flash your CIC is stuck in bootloader mode.

CIC is made up of 3 parts which must be flashed in correct order (obviously ISTA does this automatically but I’ll explain it as it may help you solve the problem).

63 -> 62 -> A0

The numbers refer to ECU addresses so…

63 = MASK/CIC
62 = MOSTGW
A0 = CIC

Bootloader / program / data

I think only an ICOMA+B / Opps unit will you be able to recover this CIC by reflashing with ISTAP. Only 62 can be flashed with K+DCAN. The complete package requires MOST (ICOM B) correctly configured.

Hope this helps…

FAQs:

– Can i use this tutorial for my E63 coupe 03/2008 635D CV16548 ?

Yes, if you have retrofitted CIC and combox. This tutorial is for CIC and car must also have combox to get apps. I added specific chassis models to the guide.

– Can i use “interface” fonction in DR GINI software (B13 version) for configure ICOM for MOST_ASYNC_ab625 and write EDABIAS.INI file ?

Probably yes. I have never tried with dr gini, I always use easy connect. You want to configure ediabas.ini for remote:most_async_ab625 so I can’t see why it wouldn’t work, if the software gives you an opportunity to configure ediabas.

– ICOM selection + MOST selection : it’s good choice?

Yes. Interface must be ICOM A + B(or OP(P)S). No matter what you read from internet or hear from someone else, K+DCAN cable can not be used. Do not even try, it will fail for sure.

I still remind, you must have some knowledge about winkfp use. This guide is not for those who have never used winkfp. Start with basics, downgrading cic is not basics.

Flashing an ecu is always an risk!!
Only flash when it’s necessary!

ICOM A2 Network Connection Setup User Manual

This is all about network connection (wired or wireless) setup for ICOM A2 diagnosis with ISTA+ or programming with ISTA/P. All situations you may encounter are solved here.

*****Part 1 Wired connection when ISTA-P programming
it’s better to use Lan cable to connect to network instead of wifi, for wifi is not stable sometime and cannot start programs ISTA-P (ISS-NEXT)
1

how to connect to network via Lan cable?
method 1: PC – router – ICOM
connect PC to the router, then connect ICOM to router
method 2: ICOM – PC
Directly connect ICOM emulator to PC
*****Part 2 Wireless/WiFi connection when ISTA+ diagnostics
you can use wifi during diagnosis with ISTA+. but sometimes, the connection will be cut off automatically and program prompts you to continue connection

Wlan settings
go to ICOM Configuration Manger, and select Wlan settings-> Security type:WPA2 personal. the password should be the same with that of router. then save data and unplug and re-plug the Lan cable to connect to icom. it is impossible to diagnose via wifi if password is not set
(NOTE: this is not for USB WiFi; USB wifi comes with password and router setup)
11

what to do if WIFI fails to connect?
1.go to VCI settings, then select “HO-ICOM/NET”, NOT Ediabas
2.open Itool Radar to change ICOM IP address
3.find out IP address: 192.169.68.119
4.then go to “Confort Module” to change ip

ATTENTION:
how to solve “Reserved”
during diagnosis, if the state is “Reserved”, it means the program is occupied. to exit the program illegally should be remain Reserved and cannot go to diagnostics.

when you meet with “Reserved”, please unplug the ICOM mux or close at Easyconnect, then “Reserved” turn to be “Free”.

go to Easyconnect Utility to set IP address: 192.169.68.119, Mode: DiagBus, then click “ICOM Lock” and “Check” to check the battery voltage and ignition

how to solve “Firmware”
if the state displays “Firmware”, it means the ICOM firmware need to be updated
Steps to update China ICOM firmware:
1). Use your cable and connect ICOM to port
2). Power ICOM by 12V power adapter or from 1x DLC
3). Use your browser (IE) and browse 169.254.92.38:60080/
User name: root
Password: NZY11502
4). Click “Update Firmware”,and you can find the version of firmware.
5). Select ICOM-BootImage-XX-XX-XX.bin, set image type to “SYSTEM”, click “Send the file”
6). When it will say “Write the image file to the flash?”, click “Yes”, then the ICOM led it will been RED
7). When it will say “The SYSTEM IMAGE update was successful”, click “Update Firmware”
8). Select ICOM-Application Image-XX-XX-XX.bin, set image type to “APPLICATION”, click “Send the file”,the file is big so it will take some minutes to finish have patience.
9). When it will say “Write the image file to the flash?”, click “Yes”, then the ICOM led it will been RED again
10). When it is ok, click “reboot”.

How to use PSDZdata files between Ista/P and E-SYS

Here are some optional solutions offered by ICOM A2 uses to share PSDZ data folders between ESYS and ISTA P.

Possible reason for this:
Having two sets of the files seems to waste 50GB+ of hard drive.

Popular ways:
Steps to create a symlink:
1. Delete Folder which should contain additional PSDZdata
1. Start CMD with elevated Adminrights.
2. execute ‘mklink /D C:\PATHtoSYMLINK C:\PathtoPSDZdataFolder’

Note:
* That is just an example. Of course you have different folders you have to copy. So you should also link every needed folder
* Some one also use this cmd to create the symlink: mklink /J c:\Data\psdzdata C:\ProgramData\BMW\ISPI\data\TRIC\ISTA-P\BMW\Services\data\ecudata\psdzdata –> After this, E-Sys will always use the same psdzdata as ista/p.

Easiest way:
-Delete The psdzdata folder in c: / data
-in Win 8 or Win10 on Search Search CMD (the DOS box)
-Start Of CMD with administrator rights
-Eingeben of
mklink / D C: \ Data \ psdzdata C: \ Program Data \ BMW \ ISPI \ data \ TRIC \ ISTA-P \ BMW \ Services \ data \ ecudata \ psdzdata
