How to solve the error of BMW ISTA software and the car?
Problem
After successfully installing BMW ISTA Software now I’m getting an error when I try to connect to the car and BMW ISTA Software. Will see the VIN but when I try to connect I get this message “The vehicle could not be identified successfully. Check vehicle interface and ‘PAD active’.”
I opened up my EDIABAS.ini file and it looked exactly like below, I didn’t see any lines that mention “connection” or “STD” or “Standard”

Solution:
Change Interface = REMOTE to Interface = STD: OBD and change port settings to port 1 and latency 1ms
