Is the newest BMW factory connector, the ICOM Next A, and the B and C parts!
Why?
Fast, secure data transfer.
BMW Minimum system requirements are way too low. (BMW advice on processor speed has not changed in 3-4 years)
That is why BMW has to say ICOM detection may take as long as 15 minutes!
Buy the fastest system that you can put Win 7, SVC Pack 1 Ultimate/Professional/Enterprise.
Run MAX RAM
A J-2534 box for programming BMW’s works, slowly and with risks. Cost is about $1800 for a good J box.
The J box transfers large amounts of data like a small diameter water pipe, it trickles data, and will get the job done if it is not interrupted. If interrupted, good luck, car might need to go to the Dealer. The dealer can usually recover that module.
This warning is copied from BMW OSS doc’s online.
Attention!!!
A wireless connection between the PTT and PC must not be used!!!! A momentary interruption of traffic can cause irreparable damage to ECUs!!!!
E31, E34, E26 (318i) will not connect with J2534, if you want these cars, you need the ICOM.
With the BMW factory connector, the ICOM Next A, you have a huge pipe, and the ICOM is like a reservoir, data accumulates in the ICOM and ISTA-P executes the command releasing it to the car, when it is best.
So, ICOM is best, BMW wants you to buy this from API International, last quote I got from them was $4259.45 for A, B, & C. That was in 2011.
At that time they where Out Of Stock on the B and C.
There are currently STILL Out Of Stock on B and C.
We have stock. Good stock, on REAL BMW ICOM Next A hardware.
Why not buy a Chinese one? Because you are charging a $100+ an hour and a bad one can turn a $1200 Siemens module into a Siemens brick with 1 flash.
Call us and we can get you a real BMW factory ICOM Next A and all the rest for under $3000!
