ista/p 3.56 VMware Fusion solution on MAC for 335xi E90

I used this VMWare Workstation in a MAC to successfully flash the PPK on a 335xi E90 today. It shouldn ' t is too hard-make it work with fusion I don ' t think. Ista/p 3.56.1.002 is working awesome! A uncompressed VM size with ista/p is 280GB.
Note:have to run it on Bootcamp until we can find a workaround for Mac users

Very Important reference!!

Here is some tips and ideas after I used this ... Wish this helps.

Diagnostic tools can be used:
K+dcan and ENET cables is supported for everything but most ring modules. For those, you'll still need an ICOM emulator.

Memory setting:

I would recommend anyone with less than 16GB of all host memory drop the VM memory down to 4GB or less.

Connecting in either NAT or Bridge mode:

For a ICOM or ENET cable, you'll need to use bridge mode. For General E9x and other K+dcan vehicles, your network settings would not affect your ability to connect to the vehicle.

Vmware:

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 are a good idea, however, the idea behind this VM were simplicity and I feel like Building it in this manner would is counter intuitive to that end goal.

Ublock instead of ABP:

I could install Ublock origin instead of Ad Block Plus in Chrome to save some resources as well as speed it up a bit.

PDF Printer/cutewriter:

Might is nice to has a PDF printer, like cutepdf pre-installed for "printing" from the various diagnostic tools.

Datens on the desktop:
I included these raw Daten files in RAR format for a reason. While they all is already loaded in NCSExpert, INPA, and the like. WINKFP deals Best and one model series Daten at a time. If you need to the 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.

Note:

All above are the customer solution. Try on your own risk.
