OP updated with v3. I checked the screenshot and didn't see ISTA/P launcher/ICOM emulator. Does v3 contain ISTA/P and ETK?

Everyone, I have to rebuild the VM but It will be ready today. This is from rushing... I'll be taking my time today.

awwww don't tell me I need to download everything again

[oorlando]

what SPdaten version is inside V3?

[vmhelper00]

Update: Done building. Defragging, compressing and then posting. Uncompressed is looking to be around 180GB. v55 SPDaten - no change there.

An update from my ordeal with my green chipset obd cable:
I got a cheap 2 white chipset cable, plugged it in and windows update detected the driver. It works immediately. Doesn't detect the ignition state but it connects to engine ecu anyway. I'm guessing soldering obd 7 and 8 might simulate an ignition on?

INPA can't connect to some modules but mostly I can get the airbags, CCC. I can't connect to alarm but I guess I don't have it. Transmission gives a German error but gets in. I don't even know how to read fault codes. Everything is in German.... I paid money for huge inpa packages but I don't know how to tell what's good and bad or where to put it.

Can I just get the missing files

[Sensible_]

Any chance of a V3 Lite version without ISTA-P. This is great for my Mac. Nice work

[loknar]

Unless I'm missing something. Ista+p seems like overkill and it's slow on my pc.

I use the Web http://2009.bmwfans.info/parts/catal...ctober/browse/
For my vehicle it has all parts in extreme detail. I also found the repair manual

[loknar]

Trying NCS expert it can't read my vin

Faulty VIN

I notice we have the 64 bit version of ncsexpert

What exactly is this? I'm new to the coding part of my car because I'm trying to figure out how to fix my angel eyes after they shorted out a month ago lol

It's a virtual machine. Basically a complete operating system you can run in a separate window inside you current computer.

The beauty of it is it means people can run a BMW coding setup which requires at least Windows XP on a Mac / Linux distro or if you want to skip settings BMW Standard tools up you can run it in your Windows laptop and everything is ready to go.

Probably not, this is intended to have everything and you can remove what you dont need. Just keep a copy if the zipped file incase you break something.

Just select the "Bridge" option and see if it works, if not let me know and I'll look more into what I had to do to get it working.

When testing it, I first made sure I could access the ICOM on my host machine by going to 169.254.92.38:60080 in a web browser. Then, to test it on the VM, I made sure to take ownership of that ethernet controller in the Devices menu (releasing the host's ownership) and try accessing the same address in a web browser within the VM. Once you can access it in the VM, you're good as gold

Did the trick - thanks!
