This is the exact vehicle communication interface used by BMW authorized dealers worldwide — not a clone, not a replica. Manufactured for BMW by ACTIA under OE part number 81315B519A5 (superseding 81315A78EF6 and 81312360883), it delivers full factory-level diagnostics and programming through BMW ISTA-D and ISTA-P, ISPI Next and the BMW Online Service System (OSS).
With a more powerful processor and higher storage capacity than pass-thru J2534 devices, the ICOM NEXT communicates faster on new chassis and handles long flash routines without dropping the session. It connects over LAN or WLAN and supports the DoIP protocol required by the latest G-series vehicles.
Why genuine matters
- BMW part-numbered ACTIA hardware with serial and LAN MAC on the factory label — verifiable, traceable, firmware-updatable through official BMW channels
- 100% recognized by ISTA, ISTA-P, ISTA+ and ISPI Next — no patched firmware, no emulated handshake, no risk of bricking an ECU mid-flash
- Backward compatible with ICOM B (MOST), C (20-pin) and motorcycle D/E adapters — an older ICOM B works with this NEXT A
Coverage
All BMW E / F / G / I / K chassis up to the current model year, including electric vehicles and BMW Motorrad motorcycles. Also covers MINI and Rolls-Royce BMW-platform models.
