BMW Group service documentation identifies ISTA for supported BMW and MINI vehicles and ISTA/P for programming MINI R-series vehicles. Vehicle coverage and the available functions depend on the model, market, interface and current software. BMW Group North American AOS guide.
BMW's guide describes ICOM and supported J2534 pass-through interfaces for applicable AOS operations; confirm the exact interface and operation before use. Older Rover-era and classic Mini applications should not be assumed to follow the BMW-era coverage. See MG Rover diagnostics for TestBook and T4. BMW Group AOS requirements.
