Step-by-step procedure on BMW ICOM A1-A2-A3 Factory Restore

Perform a factory reset if you face one of the following issues:

 -Single ICOM with at least one green LED, but does not become visible in ISTA

- Single ICOM with at least one green LED, but it is not available in Connection Manager and

therefore cannot be reserved

- Single ICOM is not working in WLAN

 -Single ICOM with at least one green LED, but Firmware Update is not possible neither via

ISTA nor via ICOM Web GUI

 

Prerequisites:

 -USB flash drive. 2.0 with a minimum of 60 MB free space formatted with FAT32 (e.g. by

Microsoft Windows)

- “ICOM_Restore.bin” file, which can be downloaded from this page. Make sure you always

use the latest file for the factory reset

 

Fix: Perform the following steps:

1. Copy the “ICOM_Restore.bin” file to the USB flash drive
2. Disconnect the network cable from ICOM A
3. If ICOM A is placed in an OBD II jack of the vehicle, then pull it out (ICOM A must have status off”)
4. Connect the USB flash drive to ICOM A
5. This step has to be done in a maximum time of 5 sec or the update process will not start:

 Press the reset button on the ICOM A and hold it pressed:

Connect ICOM A to the OBD II jack while the button is pressed (all LED will become red)

 Release the reset button and then press it 3 times

 The LEDs will flash red (if not, repeat the above steps)

 The process is finished after 3 minutes

 When the system LED is shining green, the update process is finished successfully

 Disconnect to USB flash drive

6. Factory reset is done
7. Disconnect the ICOM A
8. Connect the LAN cable between the ICOM A and the network
9. Connect the ICOM A to a vehicle or external power supply
10. ICOM becomes visible now again in ISTA / work correctly again

 Lots of people need ICOM because they have no more desire for various cables.  Here is a DIY BMW ICOM Next clone modification guide to solve errors made by the manufacturer affect the connection with machines of different years and models.

ICOM sees only one 128MB memory bank, and it should be 256MB. After fixing all the errors, you can check the work with cars and motorcycles of different years and models. Diagnostics of coding and programming were checked, no errors were detected.

*(33.333 must be replaced by 33,000. Antennas need to be glued from the outside to the side plates)

There are ICOM2 clones with the same manufacturing errors. You can understand this by the amount of memory or if R195 = 0kom

Such a board has exactly the same errors. R119 is installed 10kom instead of 1kom. This disables one memory bank.

Test and feedback:

Reset switch works, resistors replaced, serial changed. Icom now sees 256 memories, managed to update ICOM Next to version 03.15.04. Now icom starts up faster.
