Same question here.

I tried BMW Standard Tools 2.12 but they don't seem to connect via my K-DCAN cable or do not recognize my car (328i 2012 E93).

I successfully installed Rheingold 4.20 (ISTA-D=ISTA + 4.20.12; ISTA-P 3.66; with all data). ISTA-D connects, correctly identifies my car, reads info from my car's ECU's but then freezes when it goes to "Overall vehicle test" - see the attachment. I have to restart my computer.

ISTA-P does not start properly.... perhaps I did not configure correctly ICOM emulator, but some options did not come on my computer...

I read somewhere that newer ISTA-D works only with F,G and newer cars and not with older E vehicles?

I only need to register my car battery, and to read error codes and rest them. Do not need any advanced programming at this time.

So, what's the best / easiest and guaranteed software to use (with K-DCAN cable, on 2012 E93)?

thnx
