How to solve V2017.3 BMW ICOM ISTA Error in Version Database
Problem:
I just installed the V2017.3 BMW ICOM ISTA-D 4.04.12 ISTA-P 3.60.2.001 software HDD on Windows 7 laptop. But failed to install and ISTA software gave error:
"Error in version of database
Existing versions of databases are not compatible with each other. Please contact your
Local assistance. The installation may be incomplete."
And then ISTA-P was ready to shut down
I was told it was because the language incompatibility.
I followed engineer suggestion to change language to English ( or German /Chinese) to check if it is okay.
This time I can open icom software, but nothing display, all blank.
Final solution:
You need to update your BMW ICOM Next/ICOM A2 firmware to newer to work with newer ISTA software.
