Dealers now use ISTA+ with a 'large' programming data set that covers almost all model of recent vehicles. This is made available for download to local dealerships on an unknown prioritised schedule.

ISTA+ (app, diagnostic databases, programming data) can be updated with delta files or as a whole.

ISTA+ assess the car's current i-step and FA to determine what modules need to be programmed. It then produces a 'plan' to:
1) Program the target ECUs
2) Code the programmed ECUs against the FA, sometimes non-programmed ECU are coded too
3) Import any needed FSC
4) Perform a number of reset and post programming diagnostic checks
