BMW ICOM NEXT A

 

BMW-ICOM-NEXT-A

The ICOM Next A is a multifunctional vehicle interface that is designed to be used in workshops worldwide. It has been specially developed for use by workshop and service personnel in support of service consulting, diagnosis, and vehicle programming processes.

The philosophy behind the ICOM Next A is to provide universal deployment capabilities irrespective of the vehicle type and communication interface. To this end, the interface unit is distributed over several components. Each individual module is designed to be used in different combinations for special tasks.

The ICOM NEXT system comprises the following components: diagnostic unit incl. OBD cable, MOST diagnosis adapter, legacy vehicle adapter, and motorcycle adapter. An overview of all the devices is shown in the table below.

OPERATING AND STORAGE CONDITIONS

FUNCTION
The ICOM NEXT A is the base component. Physically, it provides the interfaces for linking up to the vehicle’s OBD diagnostic interface together with the interfaces for adaptive integration in the workshop’s network. With its powerful computer kernel, it serves as a protocol converter and takes over the exchange of data between the tester and the vehicle’s control devices, as well as processing the signals to the connection for the measuring device. The ICOM NEXT A is supplied with power from the vehicle’s on-board electrical circuit (terminal 30) via the OBD connection.

In electric operation, the BMW Diagnostic Tool ICOM NEXT A is specified for a minimum voltage of 8V.
The unit will only function reliably if the supply voltage does not fall below this minimum level.
