ICOM Next vs A2

say a guy wants to try his hand at some CCC Idrive updates and such.

Do I need the A2 variant or the Next will also work on the e90?

Trying to get into that ISTA P life as opposed to winkfp, and also flashing my 6l45.

from the usual overseas scumbags of course.

edit:I already have a kdcan adapter and ista setup.
car is a 09/07 built 08 e91.

Winkfp or doctor Gini is safer.
As posted most of the time here.
The guy at the above links has some interesting videos on programming.
He also has a video on how to get the most out of
ista p if you go that route.

that's a useful link.

so it seems I want an icom next A, with the B adapter so I can plug into the most bus.

lately my sirius unit has been randomly saying that channels aren't available.
It's persisted across another unit, so I guess it's time to learn most bus things.

I would think that would have more to do with antenna's.

it is not.

it will say that a channel in my presets is not available, but I can push another and it will tune to that, then I can navigate via the category listing to the original channel I wanted and click it and it works.
