Release Notes ISTA/P Px.55.1 of 28
1. Important notes
1.1. Vehicle treatment
1.1.1. Online provisioning failed message is displayed in the final report
NOTE!
During vehicle treatment with ISTA/P, a failed online provisioning of head
units message is displayed sporadically in the final report. The general
functionality of online services in the vehicle may also be impaired.
Model series affected:
BN2020 with installed TCB (TPL, ATM), HU-B (Entry Nav), HU-H and
HU-H2 (NBT, NBT EVO)
Workaround:
Observe the note in the final report on correctly updating BMW services in
the vehicle after treatment (concluding tasks, notes). After online
provisioning, check the functioning of online services, and if necessary
perform online provisioning manually in the vehicle or with ISTA.
Fault corrected by:
Planned fault elimination with ISTA/P Px.55.3
BMW Group Page 5
Release Notes ISTA/P Px.55.1 of 28
1.1.2. Observe battery changeover modus during ISTA input test
NOTE!
Programming with ISTA/P can fail in vehicles with two batteries. A pop-up
appears, which cannot be removed. There is a risk of a programming abort,
because the vehicle voltage falls below 13.0 V.
Model series affected:
RR1, RR2, RR3 Series II,
RR1, RR2, RR2 Series I as high-security vehicles
Workaround:
1. Perform session in ISTA (input test)
2. Activate workshop mode with ISTA in two-battery management
(ZBM) control unit
3. Change to ISTA/P
4. Perform treatment with ISTA/P
Fault corrected by:
Planned fault elimination with ISTA/P Px.55.2
BMW Group Page 6
Release Notes ISTA/P Px.55.1 of 28
1.1.3. Invalid IP address when programming headunits in the BN2020
NOTE!
An attempt is made to program a vehicle with a Headunit High (HU-H),
multimedia platform (CHAMP), or Headunit Basis (HU-B) control unit with
ISTA/P. At the start of the session, a note appears in ISTA/P, indicating that
the IP address is invalid.
Model series affected:
BN2020
Measure/workaround:
1. Carry out a battery reset
2. Start the session again.
3. If the fault message continues to appear: Check that the Ethernet wiring in
the vehicle corresponds to the wiring diagram in ISTA.
4. If the fault message continues to appear: Contact Technical Market Support.

Release Notes ISTA/P Px.55.1 of 28
1.2. Operation/Stability ISPI (P2.55.1)
1.2.1. Use of new ISSS Base V 3.10.42 necessary from ISTA/P P2.52.0 on
IMPORTANT!
In order to install the ISTA/P Version P2.52.0 on an ISSS, it is necessary to first
install the ISSS Base V 3.10.42. The ISSS Base DVD V 3.10.42 is enclosed with
the DVD set of the ISTA/P Version P2.52.0.
Important: The Base DVD V 3.10.42 is suitable only for use with the ISSS.
1.3. Operation/Stability ISPI Next (P3.55.1)
1.3.1. Before installing ISTA/P, end all sessions
NOTE!
Installing ISTA/P is only possible when no sessions are active. To do this,
end all running sessions on all ISTA/P clients (ISID, workshop PC) and also
on all ISTA/P servers (ISPS, ISSS) before starting the installation.
Tip: To prevent the installation of the DVD or online updates from being
blocked during the maintenance period, we recommend that you always end
the ISTA/P client on the workshop PC before the end of work.
Important: Minimising the user interface of the ISTAP client is not sufficient!

Release Notes ISTA/P Px.55.1 of 28
1.3.2. When the ISTA/P client is installed for the first time, the firewall generates various
dialogue boxes querying the approval of a service
NOTE!
Description:
When the ISTA/P client is installed on a laptop computer or PC for the first
time, the firewall of the operating system generates various dialogue boxes.
Each dialogue box queries the approval of a service for the ISTA/P client.
The approvals of the services are necessary for the trouble-free function of
the ISTA/P client.
Measure/workaround:
Approve the following services for the ISTA/P client via the dialogue box:
IFS.Taurus.DataProcurement.
IFS.Taurus.Pythia.
TaurusClient.

2. General notes
All faults within the ISTA/P programming system (indication fault, display fault)
can be reported to BMW for processing by means of the WSM callback assistant.
Currently, the outstanding faults are being remedied. Therefore, only report the
urgent faults that represent a significant disruption of the operating cycles in the
workshop to BMW for processing by means of the WSM callback assistant.
Please deal with vehicle-related programming/coding and activation faults via
Technical Market Support.
Please report functional faults on the vehicle directly to technical market
management.
All the known and still open faults of the current version that are relevant for the
dealer organisation are listed in the User Release Notes.
For some actions (e.g. conversion (encoding only), HDD updates, etc.), ISTA/P
does not update the integration level if the measures for updating the integration
level are cancelled. The current status of the "Integration level (actual)" of the
vehicle is retained after the action has successfully been completed. Then under
"Finalising tasks" in the final report, one or more actions and notes can be
displayed that are necessary for a possible update of the integration level.

3. Newly occurring faults in ISTA/P Px.55.1
3.1. Programming
3.1.1. After processing the action plan, further native measures are required
Fault description:
After successful vehicle treatment with ISTA/P, the control units, damper satellite,
front right (EDCSVR) and damper satellite, rear right (EDCSHR), are incorrectly
assigned for programming/encoding.
EDCSVR and EDCSHR were not included in the action plan.
Model series affected:
BN2000, BN2020, BN2020 BN2000
Measure/workaround:
During the final context determination, ignore the planned programming/encoding of
EDCSVR and EDCSHL,
if programming/encoding have been successful.
Fault corrected by:
Planned fault elimination with ISTA/P Px.55.2.
BMW Group Page 11
Release Notes ISTA/P Px.55.1 of 28
3.1.2. Fault code entry in RDME final report,"Info driving speed: implausible"
Fault description:
After treatment of the vehicle with ISTA/P, the final report of the control unit, Range
Extender Digital Motor Electronics (RDME), contains the fault code entry "Info driving
speed: implausible" with fault code 0x113001.
This fault code entry cannot be deleted with ISTA, even after the vehicle goes to
sleep.
Model series affected:
I01
Measure/workaround:
The existing fault code entry can be ignored.
This does not impair the general functionality of the vehicle.
Fault corrected by:
Currently still open

Power Steering (EPS) control unit, even though the correct EPS hardware is installed.
Model series affected:
F30, F31, F32, F33, F34, F35, F36
Measure/workaround:
Do not remove EPS hardware. Contact Technical Market Support.
Fault corrected by:

5.3. Control unit replacement
5.3.1. Exchange completion of the instrument cluster fails
Fault description:
The vehicle order cannot be read out of the instrument cluster (KOMBI). An

Release Notes ISTA/P Px.55.1 of 28
5.3.2. BDC cannot be programmed after unguided exchange
Fault description:
Following the unguided exchange of the Body Domain Controller (BDC) control unit, a
pop-up querying the BDC exchange appears.
If this is confirmed with "Yes", the required ZGM reanimation fails.
ISTA/P schedules the BDC repair as a special measure. The BDC remains in
installation mode.
Model series affected:
F15, F16
Measure/workaround:
1. After unguided exchange, confirm the pop-up for exchanging the BDC control unit
with "No".
2. Then ISTA/P determines the reanimation of the central gateway module (ZGM)
control unit.
3. Using a special measure the ZGM is finally programmed/reanimated successfully.
4. In a subsequent session (new or resumed) the exchange must be scheduled, in
order to perform exchange postprocessing operations.
Fault corrected by:
Planned fault elimination with ISTA/P Px.56.0.
