(Thin means it only takes the space it is using but Windows thinks it is 200GB total.)īMW Standard Tools 2.12 (NCSexpert, WinFKP, INPA, etc) Hardware: 2015 Retina Macbook Pro 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD

(INPA/ISTA are useless for the S50B32.Here are the details of my setup of MacBook Pro with VW Fusion – Windows 10 or Bootcamp, both working for BMW coding with ICOM software. Which reminds me that I've been meaning to pick up a PATA SSD for my GT1 setup. You don't need an SSD, but it it changes the boot time of the machine from minutes to seconds. I have each loaded on a laptop and they all work just fine.

I'm sure If you REALLY want to get it running for a personal reason (read: stubborn like me) you could, but if you're looking to get diagnosing just go the Windows route. One of my buddies is a die hard Mac guy and every once in a while he comes up with a project that on paper seems relatively easy but next thing you know.Mac OS version this and that won't work with version whatever of the driver you need etc etc etc I would just put that towards the get myself a 'Decent' diagnostic laptop fund. Personally I wouldn't bother with spending the money for an SSD. The SSD.not really necessary as this software is OLD and will run just fine with a machine from that era. I 100% agree with nick about using a Windows laptop. Also, you really don't want your daily laptop in the garage. But I've personally gone down that route and it sucked.

(I ended up cloning an ISTA install across three different laptops this way.)įor the record, to answer your original question, a USB-C to A adapter / dongle is what you actually need to connect the cable to your Mac laptop. Super easy, if you don't want to just wipe it and do a clean install. Macrium Reflect is available for free and will let you clone your existing windows install to the new drive. They key is that on accessing little files, an SSD can literally be 10,000 times faster than a spinning disk, so it'll fee like a new machine. You ought to be able to pick up a 250-500gb SSD for under $50. I would highly recommend spending a few bucks on a cheap SSD. So just the DCan interface and Rheingold install should do the trick? Looks 40 gigs on an empty windows 10 laptop with an i5 processor. I do have access to a laptop that meets the basic requirements, but it doesn’t have an SSD, or much room, but perhaps it will be fine for just ISTA D for e-series. I have Parallels anyways to run some windows programs I want, but yeah that makes sense. Ah snap, I figured this would be the prevailing logic.
