I have recently bought an BMW ICOM Next diagnosticemulatorand i cannot connect to cars via E-sys.

 

I have itool radar installed. I reserved the icom, and when i try to connect the ip adress is automatically inserted under icom/ ethernet, then i hit connect and it says connection failed.

I the port 50160 for ICOM is open, and the icom is working perfectly with ista+ and ista /p.

I’m running ista/d 4.03. and ista /p 3.60.2. It didn’t ask me if i wanted to update icom.

The ip address is showing up as below; that’s ok.

 

Problem solved! The ip address that windows gave to icom from dhcp was different than the icom ip from ista+. I changed the address to the one from ista and it works like a charm.

Here is what i did… to change icom ip…

need a tool like EasyConnect or iToolRadar, both i used

connect the BMW ICOM Next A+B+C, turn the ignition on, start f.e. iToolradar.

then the connection from the ICOM (normally on 169.154.92.3 , mark it and click on reserve

(in EasyConnect is different but as easy as itoolradar).

Start E-Sys, choose the target (f.e. F010) and click on "connection ICOM/Ethernet”. Type the IP address (here 169.254.92.3 , the port is 50160, so the result should be tcp://169.254.92.38:50160.

Connect and have fun.

Need patience to use abmw icomdiag head with E-sys, it’s a 50/50 chance that it will work or not, or, something may not work.
