I just retrofit a cic on my e90 and I would like to update it. Anyone managed to update with this procedure? If it works I was thinking to try on "bench" powered by a car battery and a ups rather then to try on car (because of the many hours it need for update).
Any information if the procedure works is highly appreciated.

Sucks that I didn't get to actually see if this works... Will try again this weekend as I got another CIC for cheap on ebay.

Did you get this to work for updating cic to c1a ?

If you have an LCI, then your car should be wired for ethernet already. Otherwise, connect the CIC to the OBD. See the attached pic ( not mine ). 8, 12, 13 and 11 are pins on the OBD socket.

You will need an RJ45 ethernet to OBD cable.

Make sure your EDIABAS.INI settings are for ethernet ( ENET ) and that you IP settings on the laptop are set to automatic. In this case, your pc will get its IP number from the CIC unit.

In WINKFP, make sure you choose ethernet as the interface, and you would flash the CIC in the following order:

63
62
A0

Note, when 63 finishes, DO NOT exit WINKFP, but just process the next module 62, and so on for A0. Only when A0 is finished, then you can exit WINKFP.

If you exit WINKFP after even a successfull flash of 63, there is a chance of bricking the CIC. Then you would probably need an ICOM to get it out of bootloader mode.

And make sure you use a proper power supply...not battery charger !

Is the obd pinout correct ?
Other diagrams online point to pin 3 instead of pin 8, see below:
