Anyone had this issue with a Genuine ICOM B NEXT before?

Pete.J · 09-03-2018, 11:34 AM

I recently bought a Genuine ICOM B Next to flash my CIC iDrive on an E92 335i, the LED next to MOST keeps flashing red, and I can't connect to the iDrive or any other module on the MOST ring.

When I try my old clone ICOM B (which is faulty btw, WinKfp flash keeps failing halfway), it connects fine, and I can connect to all modules on the MOST ring.

I am from Australia, and I bought that ICOM B from Schmiedmann in Denmark, Schmiedmann wants me to pay for shipping back to the EU, and they want me to go to a local BMW dealer to get a test report to prove that it's faulty! Absolutely atrocious customer service

I have to pay over $100 USD to get a refund from Schmiedmann for a faulty part, it's absolutely not my fault.

Pierre26, I read somewhere on here that you bought a new ICOM B from Schmiedmann, wondering if you've had any issues with it?

I was wondering if anyone else has had similar issues? And what tests can I do to confirm that it's a faulty ICOM B?

Or is there anyway I can attempt fixing it?
