ISTA diagnosing software

Isaac_b · 04-21-2021, 02:33 PM

I would like to download ISTA diagnosing software on my pc. If anyone has instructions on how to do so or has a link that would be helpful.
Thanks

I got mine from Aliexpress and they installed it for me aswell. The download isn't the problem, the correct install is a little more tricky.

I had the same problem about 2 years ago, but i nailed it first try. Not hard at all and you can find and download ISTA for free also. Just choose right OBD. I just bought them both from aliexpress and they work.

Correct! I found spending a little bit to have someone install it correctly to be very beneficial.

I would recommend a MHD Enet wireless adapter and have this ebay seller perform the install.

You don need to buy. ISTA is free, only need to google it

Yeah a lot of these files are tampered with and may contain malware, don't do that.

Is this ISTA a good software for coding a F34, I'm using E-Sys right now.

You can find on youtube a lot of video tutorials"how to install ista". Files are free on this forum, you need to search and ask on specific thread for ista files.

Downloaded free recently took a try or two to get right but works flawlessly. Googling was easy enough.

E-sys on the otherhand has been difficult to get going for free from the googles (tokens didnt work) so go through the forum for it
