ICOM NANO vs ICOM Next vs VXDIAG BMW

BMW Diagnostic Tool BMW ICOM Next, ICOM NANO or VXDIAG VCX SE BMW ICOM? Check brief comparison below:

1. ICOM Nano

ICOM NANO is the new diagnostic unit for BMW. It's wireless. Very small size.

Support E series with INPA, F series and G series diagnostic with E-sys.

Drawbacks:
Can't connect to a hotspot like ICOM NEXT

Just available alone on a separate Wifi
​

NcsExpert not connected

only for diagnosing, it risky for programming

F series is Only available for body coding.

After all, there was a reason why ICOM NEXT was expensive.

2. BMW ICOM Next

ICOM Next Benefits:

1. Wireless diagnosis connection
2. Ease of use in a shop with multiple active connections
3. Self-hosted DHCP server for ethernet programming

There are different ICOM next clone multiplexers on the aftermarket. All high-quality ICOM Next clones are discontinued due to a lack of chips. Only the ICOM Next using VXDIAG solution is available. So it is a VXDIAG BMW with ICOM Next case indeed. Let's move to VXDIAG ICOM.

3. VXDIAG VCX SE BMW ICOM

For those with the VCX DoIP:

No need for DHCP server or router, it's build in.

– WiFi, LAN, USB, Type C to USB, DoNET remote multiple connection ways

– Firmware update is available via VXManager.

– For connection with ista-p you need to download BMW ptt driver from VXDiag, start Pass-Thru app in VXManager and emulate by loading dll. Make sure its set to SAEJ2534

– For connection with ista-d you need to set connect via icom/ethernet local network in ista settings.
If your license is valid you can also use cloud software

– For connection E-sys sometimes ZGW is not detected on first try, select connect via icom/ethernet tcp://<icom ip adress>:50160 than close connection. Now ZGW is available and connection can be made via vin or gateway url.

VXDIAG VCX SE BMW Review from Korean

I have an old icom, but it is broken. I recently changed my car to a G body.

Ambitious with a new heart…

I was thinking of buying the icom next but don't know which to buy.

I bought a tool called VXDIAG VCX SE BMW.

I did a search and find many positive reviews.

I just tried it.

It is sent quickly by DHL. It arrived in 5 days. simple and neat packed. It looks like an electronic device.

The components are Diagnostic unit, OBD cable.

After connecting vxdiag vcx se to your PC, run vx manager, connect to the Internet, and press 'Update License' and 'Update Firmware' to update it to be able to use it normally in ISTA.

When I took it out after a while, the version was upgraded a lot.

I connected both the E-series vehicle and the G-series vehicles.

It works well.

VXDIAG VCX SE DoIP Switch Not Working Solution

I got the vxdiag vcx se BMW ista+ 4.32 for 320 m sport 2016.  Why doip switch stopped working? Software is up to date but doip can't read vin.
doip switch not working anymore, software is up to date but can't read vin. Can you help?

Solution:

The doip problem is solved now, so there's no need to make a teamviewer.

Problem was with 'windows firewall' being activated for some reason, and this wouldn't allow doip to start reading.I turned off the firewall and all sorted now.Doip is working fine.

I love using your device.
