Key Features of ICOM Next A2

Interface Components

1. ICOM A2:

   • Supports OBD diagnostics with capabilities for MOST, D-CAN, and K-CAN protocols. This interface is essential for accessing the full range of BMW’s diagnostic systems.

2. ICOM B:

   • Designed for diagnostics via the MOST bus and connects to the A interface via a USB connection. This allows for enhanced functionality when working with vehicles equipped with optical fiber networks.

3. ICOM C:

   • A 20-pin cable for older BMW models, providing seamless connectivity and ease of use for legacy vehicles.

Enhanced Performance

The modified ICOM NEXT a2 boasts significantly improved processing power and storage capacity compared to its predecessor, allowing for faster diagnostics and more efficient operation. Its robust aluminum casing provides excellent durability, ensuring it can withstand harsh working environments without sustaining damage.

Improved Connectivity and Usability

The ICOM B now features a soft rubber cover to protect the MOST connector, enhancing its resistance against wear and tear. The ICOM C is equipped with an approximate 20 cm long cable that aids in connecting to the ICOM A2, making it easier to store in the vehicle’s engine compartment.
