BMW F10 Coding E-sys vs. ISTA+ vs. ISTA-P

Any one has programmed all car with ista-p with enet cable successful
it’s safe to do it with enet cable?

ICOM is a separate computer which handles all protocols itself and has connection to a car through multiple busses (D-CAN, K-CAN, ENET) at the same time. It also has internal measurement for car voltage, etc.

F10 is able to talk via D-CAN and ENET. Strictly speaking both of these are connected to ZGM which then “translates” messages and forward to other units in a car via appropriate buses. As long as your ZGM is functioning properly there is no difference. However ENET bus needs much more complicate software to run, and early ZGMs do have issues to be programmed over this bus (you can use search on this forum to find workarounds).

So basically, ICOM can monitor car voltage, ignition status and other things itself and stop communication with a car if prerequisites are not met. ENET cable will pump data to a car in any case. If your power supply has ample amperage to keep constant car voltage, this may not be an issue.

As Spirit said flashing a car is always a risk. Its just smaller (and potentially easier recoverable) with the right tools.

I personally prefer ISTA+ for flashing because its “run and enjoy”. It knows which units need to be programmed with ignition on and which with it off. It also runs all required initializations afterwards. With E-Sys you more or less need to know all of that yourself and do manually. But when flashing fails seriously, E-Sys is the only tool to do recovery.
