I played around with it this afternoon and it's fantastic! Great idea to include tutorials, Libre Office, excel sheets, etc. I actually didn't know about all these tools and resources before today. The VM will in general save people tons and tons of time setting this up.
A few thoughts if there is a v1.1 release or if you create one with ISTA/P:
Also, I noticed the daten files on the desktop as rars. Should these be installed by default and removed from the desktop to save space? |

1. You are totally right about the memory setting. When I was using it on my other laptop to do the ISTA/P install, I had to drop it to 4gb after I realized I was maxing out the host memory. I would recommend anyone with less than 16gb of total host memory drop the VM memory down to 4gb or less. 2. This may be an issue of the way that virtualbox deals with network adapters vs how VMware does. I have no trouble connecting in either NAT or Bridge mode. However, for use of an ICOM or ENET cable, you will need to use bridge mode. For general E9x and other K+DCAN vehicles, your network settings will not affect your ability to connect to the vehicle. 3/4. I chose VMWare because I feel like it's the most stable and offers the most features. I may look into building a version with Virtualbox but at least for now, I'm going to stick with VMWare. I do however, want to get a mac to test with so that I can make sure I can get it working in Fusion as well as on PC. I think building an underlying linux host is a good idea, however, the idea behind this VM was simplicity and I feel like building it in this manner would be counter intuitive to that end goal. 5. Ublock instead of ABP -- Sure, let's give it a try. Good idea! 6. PDF Printer/CuteWriter -- Again, sure. Good idea! 7. Datens on the desktop -- I included these raw daten files in rar format for a reason. While they all are already loaded in NCSExpert, INPA, and the like. WinKFP deals best with one model series daten at a time. If you need to use WinKFP to program a module, extract that rar file and use the BMW coding tool to load it into WinKFP. There is a PDF in the help files folder on the desktop that illustrates how to use the coding tool to load the files into WinKFP. If you don't plan on ever using WinKFP or programming some of these chassis codes you can go ahead and delete those or all of the datens. Please send in more feedback so we can make this the best release ever!! I have the full ISTA/P machine almost done. I will make these changes. So far after doing some disk cleanup, it is 230GB uncompressed. |

V2 is compressing now, I will release a full change log -- magnet will be available later today -- estimated download size 95gb -- extracted size 202GB -- main differences is the addition of ISTA/P and ETK

Very cool! Downloading right now and will definitely help seed afterwards.
Is ISTA/D included as well? If not, will you be including it in the future? Last edited by siphor1989; 01-31-2016 at 10:52 PM.. |

Hey guys I downloaded v1 previously and I can confirm VMware Fusion on my macbook will run it
Now that being said, got everything up and running/ had to do a couple of tweaks..but is all well! I'll be willing to help others setup if someone can help me with my current troubles with my combox. [p.o replaced original combox with another&now bluetooth/aux/usb don't work] Also shoutout to the nate16 for getting this out to the community! will try out v2 soon! |
