I am stuck on a problem that seems really simple to me, yet I am out of ideas to troubleshoot. Simply can not ping a physical iCom (genuine or clone) from inside the VM, even though I can from host OS get to the http://169.254.92.38:60080 firmware UI.
Can I get step by step directions related to the three network adapters, and how to get the VM to communicate with a genuine iCom and a Chinese clone iCom? for each Virtual Adapter Quote:
Quote:
Clone was updated to correct firmware in host, no problems. I try iTool Radar, command line net and ipconfig options, workshop manager, etc. I tried to manually change the IP using the usb stick into the iCOM the method that starts with: Quote:
online it seems I should use user.settings.txt but my experience says it should be user.settings.ini ... neither worked. Unit never had red lights, so never updated. Any help would be appreciated. EDIT: UPDATE November 12 2013: The Windows 8.1 updater BROKE the VMware virtual Ethernet drivers, you have to do a repair install of the VMware Workstation using the same VMware installation file you installed it with originally. INstallation file Has to be in same dirve and directory location too. i.e. if you first installed from U:\VMWareTools , you can not reconnect network drive as X:\VMWaretools After figuring that out, I fixed all my problems up to the point where I do not understand how to edit those 4 files. Do I just rename them, or do I truly edit them, replacing the LAN MAC and S/N in all locations? Last edited by BicLighter; 11-11-2013 at 11:28 PM.. Reason: update due to windows 8.1 breaking VMWare |

i using ISTA-D_2.36_ISTA-P_2.50.4 why it show.help me please
Windows XP does not include drivers for the BusLogic SCSI adapter that VMware Workstation uses for virtual SCSI devices. To use these virtual SCSI devices, install the VMware driver in the virtual machine. Download the driver from "http://vmware.com/info?id=43". |

How do I add a genuine iCOM to this VM?
Genuine iCOM has been flashed to the 3.10.42 firmware. iCOM is seen in iTool Radar inside VM. I can not get WSM to see the iCOM, last step is to edit those files, but is there a difference between editing 4 files and change name of fifth if genuine or clone iCOM? |

Sensible, this is a superb build.
I have everything up and running but am stuck on one point. It's more of a VMware workstation question than the build. Currently I have to use a router between my notebook and the iCOM. I really need to eliminate the router so I can use this in places without power outlet available. How do I connect the iCOM directly to the notebook Ethernet port and have ISTA find the iCOM's IP? EDIT: I am under the impression that the iCOM must be in DHCP mode and NOT in STATIC IP mode for ISTA to work. is this correct? Last edited by BicLighter; 11-18-2013 at 11:59 PM.. |

Haven't been keeping up with this as INPA been working good for me, but what do you need hardware wise, a hardware emulator (where can I get this?) and a DCAN cable?
What is this snapshot method nate5ks is talking about? " Of course you need an ICOM EMU dongle to use it, unless you want to replace the files with the free version" Not sure what this means either Thanks again |

BicLighter,
The VM has 3 network adapters. The first 1 is eth0, second eth1, third eth2. eth0 is the ISID net adapter with correct MAC address. Make sure this is connected when you power on VM. eth0 is ICOM emulator - you'd don't need this. Make sure it's disconnected. eth1 is a bridged connection and should be used when connecting ICOM. Make sure the adapters are configured correctly in the 'Virtual Network Editor' in workstation. Once ISID has booted and all icons are loaded - plug in icom to computer port and connect it to car. Wait 2 mins. Then, turn off eth0 for ISID, and turn on eth2 for a bridged connection so ISTA can find ICOM. Wait 2 mins. Start ISTA and if your ICOM is registered correctly it should be available for selection in connection manager. |

ISTA can be used with: DCAN cable OPS unit ENET cable ICOM clone ICOM original For DCAN, OPS and ENET you need to use an ICOM emulator. The emulator software is included in my VM but it requires a USB hardware key. However, there is a free cracked version which you can replace the USB one with, if you can find it. You can use a snapshot version also which is a seperate VM if you play with the network settings. |

D-CAN(w/ ICOM Emulator) vs ICOM
In another forum, some experienced folks mentioned that although a D-CAN cable(w/ ICOM Emulator) is fine with ISTA-D, they strongly advised against the use of a D-CAN cable for flash programming of ECUs using ISTA-P, suggesting that the (software based) ICOM Emulator cannot reliably handle processing
as a hardware ICOM unit can, possibly resulting in damage to certain modules. When I asked for specific details regarding what/how the D-CAN cable(i.e. a good one from One Stop Electronics) used with an ICOM Emulator lacks technically, no one answered(or perhaps were not able to). Does anyone have insight into such matter? Simply put, what is it about the ICOM(original or clone) that is so superior in terms of reliability, that makes a D-CAN cable used with an ICOM emulator 'unreliable' for flash programming with ISTA-P? Perhaps its not true? |

*apps > ista-p > BMW > Client > layout > maskcontent > NewSessionServerMode.xml I have not yet tried flashing modules personally, for my car is not in need of flashing, although the I-Level is equivalent to daten version 46.X(March 2012), becuase I have not been able to get solid confirmation from experience whether this alternate method involving multiple 'work-arounds'* can be pulled off(also because my understanding is that it's a good idea to have all ECUs at the same I-Level). But I'd like to have a better understanding. *Multiple 'work arounds': 1. Using ICOM Emulator + D-CAN cable(One Stop Electronics) 2. ISTA-P with 'Expert Mode' enabled via modified 'NewSessionServerMode.xml' So far there has been only one confirmation that it is 'possible', but that confirmation was followed with a negative suggestion for 'good luck'(suggesting that an unspecific 'something' may go wrong while flashing). I'm trying to get some objective technical confirmation of whether it can be done reliably or not. I've been able to access information from all ECUs, other than those on the MOST bus(RAD2 in my case), using the D-CAN + ICOM Emulator with ISTA-P, just haven't gone ahead with any flashing yet, so I know communication is possible.

It almost makes sense just to buy a ICOM clone, I mean its barley more expensive then a BT Tool, I was looking at them a long time ago they were in the $600 range.
One dealer visit you don't have to make and it pays for itself. Thank you very much for your response Sensible should help others who are looking at this thread too. " requires a USB hardware key. However, there is a free cracked version which you can replace the USB one with, " Is the hardware usb key official? Can't be right, what makes people use the other 2 methods (cracked usb key, snapshot) is it expensive? When you say free cracked version (usb key) are you talking about another piece of hardware or some software method to trick it? Thanks Last edited by RemovedUser; 11-19-2013 at 12:24 PM.. |

Yeah, I fully agree. I will eventually get an ICOM for sure, and hope that the price will drop further. I also need to get a power supply such as a Schumacher INC-700A(but Amazon can't ship outside the US - %#@!). Hence, these expenses add up(easily more than $1,000 for me with import taxes, VAT etc. which is not a whole lot but not pocket change either) so I'm hoping that time will bring down the costs some more. In the mean time it would be nice to learn more about various tools/alternate methods etc..

Guys,
I cannot say for everyone but I have completed a full program update using ISTA P and DCAN via Icom Emulator with no problems. The key thing for me is getting a quality cable, fast computers uaf core / 12gb ram at least and most importantly a stable power supply. Having said that, I have OPS unit and an ICOM which I prefer. Just quickly, for those with OPS unit - older versions of ISTA P supported OPS natively without the need for an emulator. ISTA D does not support OPS and requires an emulator People have been slating DCAN cable for years. It was the same as DCAN vs OPS and now it's DCAN vs ICOM. My bet is those people who experience dead modules with DCAN are not using a correct power supply. index1489; The emulator is a java based piece of code that emulates ICOM firmware. The original 'official' (sort of) used a USB for protection. This is the version I have, so that is the version I patched into my latest VM. There is a cracked version of the emulator about that negates the need for the USB. I don't have this unfortunately, otherwise I'd install it in my VM. |

Just a few questions: 1. What do you mean by, "fast computers uaf core"? 2. "12GB RAM at least" - is this much RAM really necessary for ISTA-P to flash program reliably? (I have a maximum 4GB on my MacBook Air / Windows 7 setup) 3. Any plans for another updated ISID with ISTA-D version updated to 3.XX(38-40+) etc.? Thank you! |

Tinkerman,
1. Sorry, predictive text typo. Should read 'dual core' 2. I have tried loads of ram configurations. I find a host system with 12gb ram can allocate 4gb ram ram to the guest virtual machine and still perform well. Virtual machine are very ram and CPU intensive. Yes, when I get time I'll start on rheingold |

This is best ISIS - ISID thread I have seen.
I have found that practically no more than 8,2 GB is used by this VMWare client. I have all VMs running on one home "PC", 8 core i7, 16GB RAM in total. I have separate ISSS, ISIS server, ISID machines and they run perfectly BTW. I have downloaded this vm image, not tested yet, but i ll still feed it Last edited by alexopth1512; 11-20-2013 at 02:39 AM.. |

I am using a i7 and 16GB RAM, but to speed up the VMware I give the Notebook a Samsung EVO drive with the Rapid I/O function enabled. About the constant Power Supply I am using a Deutronic DBL1000 it is easy to use and was prefered by BMW. Total current 90 Amp. , but this charger is now discontinued. |
