Which BMW ICOM Next Clone is the Best?

Which BMW ICOM Next Clone is the Best?

Main benefits of an ICOM from our perspective:
1. Wireless diagnosis connection
2. Ease of use in a shop with multiple active connections
3. Self-hosted DHCP server for ethernet programming

There are several ICOM Next clone multiplexers available in obdii365.com, which one of them is the best?

All other ICOM Next clones are discontinued due to lack of chips.  Only SP269-B1 (and its software package) and SP269-D (its software package) are available.

Both have WiFi connection.

Both firmware can be updated.

Some positive reviews:

1.ICOM Next is faster than the old bmw icom. It is also better built IMHO.
And Next is WIFI available also.
It handles multiprogramming and coding quite nicely.
Gets the job done much faster if flashing the complete vehicle.
Another benefit to Next will be compatibility for future cars.

2.I have icom next clone it works perfectly didn’t faced any issues.

3.My Chinese NEXT is working for more than year and everything is OK so far. I paid much more for it , but ye you get what you paid for.

4.It’s very good, the only thing you have to know it is the caps for usb enet etc, they won’t be really helpful bc they open all the time, However the quality is very good, enet cable is very long, OBD cable is very durable. Like it so much.

5.My old icom A2 burned with long hours connectied by accident.But this ICOM Next seems to work well with a Heat dissipation

6.Wifi connection is strong and stable, also the lan cable is work fine, 10 meters long enough. It is easy to make programming transmission control module EGS of BMW.

The advantage of this icom next is that the VX Manager can detect the device connection status.  And it is much cheaper then SP269-B1.  If you do want to keep it, then have a read on that website from where you downloaded VX Manager, you need to run other software before it will EMULATE an ICOM.

For those with the Icom Next clone with VCXDoIP:

It’s a very powerful tool that can emulate all sorts of diag hardware for BMW, VAG, GM, BENZ, Porsche…

No need for DHCP server or router, it’s build in.

– Firmware update 1.49 is available via VXManager.

– For connection with ista-p you need to download BMW ptt driver from VXDiag, start Pass-Thru app in VXManager and emulate by loading dll. Make sure its set to SAEJ2534

– For connection with ista-d you need to set connect via icom/ethernet local network in ista settings.
If your license is valid you can also use cloud software

– For connection E-sys sometimes ZGW is not detected on first try, select connect via icom/ethernet tcp://<icom ip adress>:50160 than close connection. Now ZGW is available and connection can be made via vin or gateway url.
