BMW ICOM NEXT A + B + C - New Generation with SSD

Improved Functionality and Performance

1. Gigabit workshop LAN, backwards compatible
2. Preparation for Gigabit LAN on vehicle OBD (cars do not yet support this and interface not yet defined; ICOM Next hardware adaptation will be necessary for future Gigabit car interface, causing adaptation costs)
3. Faster start-up time and high throughput
4. Through high-performance, low-power ARM SoC
5. Improved handling
6. More flexible OBD cable
7. Lighted button for logs etc.
