    5. Set up your Ethernet adapter as shown in screenshot below (applies to BMW ENET cable & BMW ICOM multiplexer only. If you only intend using INPA K+DCAN then you can skip this step).

 

  1. Copy loader to desktop.7. Start the loader and choose your required settings and enter some dealerdata.note: ensure ISTA/P is installed on your system. If no ISTA/P installation is found, the loader will not start up (also ensure that you delete any old ISTA-P folders before using the loader).

 

 

Second, use with ICOM a2 diagnostic system
