How to update BMW E series CIC with ICOM A2:

Tool: BMW ICOM A2

Disclaimer: You are on your own risk.
PRE STEPS: In the E87 DATEN folder, make sure to swap out the file CI63F1 from the E87 Folder. Then Load assembly line data into WINKFP (at first WINKFP should be setup for STD:OBD connection so you can do this part without having to connect to the car or ICOM).
Following steps:
0 – Move Car Key to position 1
1 – Connect ICOM A2 to any available MOST (fiber optic) Connector. Connect the USB cable between it and the ICOM module.
2 – Connect OBD connector to ICOM Module.
3 – Connect ICOM to Laptop via Ethernet cable.
4 – Start up Itool Radar and Reserve the ICOM slot. (You’ll need to search for ITool Radar).
5 – I usually use the EasyConnect after ITOOL to select the MOST bus ASYNC setting and LOCK Icom.
