Overview
ICOM is a multifunctional vehicle interface intended for worldwide application in the BMW
Group dealer organization. It has been specially developed for application in the workshop and
service departments to support the processes of service consulting, diagnosis and vehicle
programming. The philosophy is to create universal deployment options independently of the
type of vehicle and communication interface. For this purpose, the unit of the interface is
distributed across a number of components. Each individual assembly is conceived for special
tasks in the composite unit.
The ICOM system consists of the components A, B and C. The following illustration shows an
overview of all the devices.
