I did everything programming using ISTA/P but theres a lot of hurtles with ISTAp you need the VO in an Xml file and in order to install it in the car you also need an activation code whuich I got from a friend that works at BMW headquarters. over all this customer spent around 6k.
Thanks for that feedback! I was hoping that the change in the VO would suffice.
