All BMWs ICOM emu

Found a working torrent for it.

Edit: I have no relation to the origin. It can now be easily googled. That didn't take long...

I don't know. I looked hard at two different versions, and could not find anywhere that showed the actual version number.

No. They are not online.

ICOM Emu? It is an ICOM Emulator VM that makes ISTA think your ENET or DCAN Interface is actually an ICOM Interface.

A software that simulates the existence of ICOM hardware.

ICOM is a hardware module used to interface between the car port and a diagnostic software like ISTA-D or a programming software like ISTA-P. Originally developed for and used by BMW dealerships, a Chinese clone is nowadays also available for purchase online at a fraction of the cost of the original.

Since the firmware of the ICOM hardware became widely available online, someone studied and used it as a base for developing a java-based software. When configured, this software inserts itself as a buffer between the logical network interface of the diagnostic/programming software and the physical network interface of the PC hardware, eliminating the need for the hardware. This software is an ICOM emulator.

Now that the ICOM hardware clones are available at very reasonable price, I recommend a real interface for speed & reliability. However playing with the emu to understand the technologies used and being impressed by the ingenuity of developers is always a pleasant part of this hobby..

I think besides speed and reliability, for use with ISTA/P for Programming, ICOM Emulator has some limitations for programming ECU's on the Most Bus, so Chinese ICOM Clone is definitely the better option.

Do you know how to set up ICOM emulator to be able to work D-CAN cable with ISTA-P and ISTA-D?

I think you just launch the VM and click the DCAN Icon on the Desktop.

I did this but even of that ISTA shows up message" NET-0012 "NO EDIABAS CONNECTION"
It quess there is a problem connected with network settings.
