I own one Super version BMW ICOM A2diagnostic & programming tool, it is a great tool in my past work. Not long ago,I encounter a problem when I want todo coding for a not so old bmw cars-2003 bmw 525i E60 model,i want to re code a radio came from another car which was coded before. Itried using icom to do the coding but it say radio need to replace. When i went to a bmw dealer they told me it cant be coded by icom coz it will recommend to replace the radio coz icom can only code brand new radio (not coded before).

Iask the guy where i bought the used radio, that he told me to get a frogman or ncs expert to do the coding which will solve the problem. So I want to buy those software fromobdii365.com. But their technician told me that I can usethe icom to re code the radio bytheicomengineer version software.Iused to code bytheISTA-Pto code but it cannot push thru, it just go back to the same page after i chose coding radio.The reason that I failed to code the radio by icom before, isthat I was not access engineer version software correctly.

The correct way to enter engineer software:
after starting icom, and input the password, you will see following picture, you shouldchoose the option with red market in the following pic:

​Then you can enter into the engineer version software, and continue do the radio coding.
