updated via ISTA.

Programming via ISTA

If RSU software is not currently downloaded in the vehicle OR the RSU software currently downloaded is

lower than 07/2025.36, then the vehicle software will need to be updated to S18A-25-03-565 or higher via

ISTA.

Determine what is the vehicle’s current I-level by either using AIR or the Key Reader/Aftersales Workplace

(AWP) application.

Programming via ISTA-
Connect the battery charger to the vehicle

Connect the vehicle to ISTA

Determine the measures plan

Accept or work through the entire measures plan with the control units to be

programmed/encoded and, if necessary, activated

Follow the rework list

Depending on the rework list, carry out a vehicle test and delete the fault memory, if required
Notice: No further system change is required after the integration of the programming in ISTA 4. Please

check the rework list accordingly!

ISTA 4.51.1x with installed service data package is required for the programming/encoding.

The solution is included from the following I-level versions:

I-level S18A-25-03-565 or later (available from ISTA 4.53.4x SDP, planned for release on June 6,

2025)

Important Note: It is imperative that programming is carried out with the above- mentioned, or a

more recent I-level!

Note that ISTA will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not have

the latest software.

Please note the programming information in the workshop system and the corresponding notes in the user

documentation.
