This has been available for a couple of months now but thought I’d share the info here.
It is now easily possible to have ISTA-P and ISTA-D running natively on a modest laptop without multiple virtual machines.
Although slightly out of date, software is now at ISTA-P 3.61.4.002 I believe, it’s very powerful. I still use Standard Tools for most things but ISTA-D is a great diagnostic tool. The native install can be updated by simply replacing the ISTAP folder from a newer version. WSM will not be updated of course and ISPI NEXT will soon take over anyway.
Best of all, both work with a $20 K+DCAN cable. Albeit ISTA-P will require a free ICOM Emulator.
I have tested this on a 500gb HDD 8gb RAM laptop running win7 x64. Results are very good. Don’t worry about ISTA-P MOST requirement. With expert mode you can select which modules you program.

How to run ISTAP native with K+DCAN interface using BMW ICOM:
- Disable firewall.
2. Remove voltage constant.
3. Extract and copy the ICOM emulator xml files to:*:\apps\wsm\apps\agent\data\4. In VMware network editor, ensure “VMnet0” is set to “bridged” and your LAN network adaptor is selected in the drop down menu.
5. In VMware network editor, add a new network called “VMnet3” and set it up as shown in the picture below:
Note: Click “apply” and “ok” and close down VMware.
6. Open VMware again and start emulator using the k+dcan snapshot. Once it has loaded up, go to the vm settings and change network adaptor 1 to “VMnet3(host only)”. Click “ok” then wait 30 seconds for network to re-initialise.
note: you can now create new snapshot if you want.
7. Connect K+DCAN cable to emulator and car and run “ifhsrv32” using icon on emulator desktop.
note: ensure k+dcan cable usb icon is active in the vm.
8. Start ISTAP native, start a session and choose “ICOM emulator” in connection manager screen.
note: if everything is ok, the led on your cable should start to flash after a minute or so. If not, recheck emulator settings (i.e. com9, latency timer set to 1 etc.).
