BMW ICOM Next Availability in the UK - Dar1u$$ - 11-10-2022
Hi, I’m trying to find a genuine BMW ICOM Next here in the UK. Does anyone know where to get one from? Alternatively, is there a clone that is know to be reliable and available? Thanks.

As per all the other threads - there is currently hundreds if not thousands of them on backorder currently. There is a new part code recently so make sure you order correctly as the old one is blocked. I believe price of the new one is slightly higher though.
You need to place a backorder on your local dealership in the UK and then wait. Clones are not recommended in general as they're almost as expensive and don't work great.
I tried to order one from Lookers in Stoke previously on the old part code but they refused to let me backorder. I've since brought one from these very forums - suggest you just keep an eye out on eBay/here or wait for your backorder to arrive.

Do not buy a clone. They are crap. You can easily brick control units and need to recover with a genuine icom and esys. Not worth it. Genuine is only way to go.

LOL. Yeah, I’m not sure I’m that desperate.
