Additionally, for some models and functions, specialised equipment such as an ICOM interface may be required. It is important to consult with the specific software and hardware requirements for the desired functions and models before attempting any diagnostic or programming procedures.

E-Series & R05x Mini:

• Interface = K+DCAN Cable (OBDII to USB) or ICOM
• ECU Data Files = SP-Daten
• NCS Expert = Coding Software
• WinKFP = Programming (Flashing) Software
• EDIABAS = Low-Level ECU Communication Software used by NCS Expert & WinKFP 

Fxx- / Ixx- / Gxx-Series, Mini, & Rolls-Royce:

• Interface = ENET Cable (OBDII to RJ45 Ethernet) or ICOM
• ECU Data Files = PSdZData
• E-Sys = Coding Software
• E-Sys = Programming (Flashing) Software

ICOM

• ICOM A: main interface
• ICOM B: adapter for programming multimedia in E series
• ICOM C: adapter for old BMW with round 20 pin diagnostic plug
• ICOM D: adapter for motorcycles

Just to clarify, the E-Series and R05x Mini models use the K+DCAN cable or ICOM interface with SP-Daten files, NCS Expert, WinKFP, and EDIABAS software for coding, programming, and low-level ECU communication. On the other hand, Fxx-, Ixx-, Gxx-Series, Mini, and Rolls-Royce models use the ENET cable or ICOM interface with PSdZData files and E-Sys software for coding and programming. ICOM has four adapters: ICOM A is the main interface, ICOM B is for programming multimedia in E-Series, ICOM C is for older BMWs with a round 20-pin diagnostic plug, and ICOM D is for motorcycles.
