Tips:
Please do not update ICOM, otherwise it will not work, for example when I click “Diagnose” the system will get prompt saying “send email to obtain ISTA/D license, license warning.”, then the diagnostic function and programming not work. The solution is to send back main unit to the supplier.
BMW ICOM A2 and BMW ICOM A3 share the same main functions: BMW Diagnosis, Programming, Coding and Car Modifying
3) BMW ICOM Support Vehicles:
BMW Cars, BMW Motorcycle, Rolls-Royce, Mini Cooper
4) BMW ICOM Laptop Requirement: EVG7, DELL D630 or others with required configuration.
Reset the computer system date and time to the current time
Set to achi mode
Advise you use Lenovo or Dell with CPU 2.0 above and memory with 4GB.
OS: It depends on which version of BMW Rheingold ICOM interface run with.
Otherwise the ICOM will freeze when boot.
Other Information:
1) BMW ICOM Operating System
Generally speaking, ICOM software is tested ok on Win 7 and win8. It depends on the hard disk you got, usually the supplier will mark the required OS when you purchase.
2) Internal hard disk or external hard disk?
Following are some views from other users:
External hard drive is a much more versatile solution, and it was my initial choice. If laptop broke, you could just plug it into another machine.
Only downside is it’s a lot slower than running it from disk, because of VMW are overhead.
Now I have it loaded on a machine-specific hard drive which I have installed in the machine. It is much faster.
If you use it 2 or 3 times a year, a VM solution is perfectly fine. I did that for a few years myself.
If you use it quite a bit (with 3 MB’s in the house hold, I use it all the time) then go machine-specific hard drive.
Also remember the external hard drive hangs off the machine and can be damaged as you move the laptop around. If you pick up the laptop, the USB drive unplugs, then it will fall to the ground and you’re cooked.
Internal is so much nicer because now I just have the multiplexer and laptop to carry to the car. Nothing needs to unplug or fall off.
Generally speaking, SSD is stable with 256GB at higher price. However, common HDD with 500GB is at lower price.

Conclusion:
BMW ICOM A2 and BMW ICOM A3 share the same software version, functions and support vehicle range but differ in appearance, hardware and operating system. ICOM A3 Pro+ is light weight, small size, more compatible and has stronger stability, better heat dissipation and higher quality hardware. Besides, it has more reasonable price than ICOM A2 now. In a nutshell, choose which one depends on your own need.
