I will prefer you to use windows 7 for all the diagnostic devices, this is because of the security of the windows 10. The best way to get a good working diagnostic program is to have one and only laptop for this. A clean windows 7 is the best way.
Have a try on Win 7 32 bit and 64. both have the luck
32bit: x86 is soooo much better since there is no any lack of the functionality for any kind of driver of ur laptop , I test both x86 is better and u can install both yes ODIS-S and ODIS-E
64 bit: I installed on win7 64bit and it installed and I added the update file from the download, starts and works very well

Returning the MDI 2 for item SP163-C is not what I want. I purchased an MDI 2 because it’s supposed to be better than an MDI in multiple ways. The MDI 2 is supposed to be able to power off the USB connection when not plugged into a vehicle. It does work when plugged into a vehicle, but the GM MDI2 is supposed to be able to power up from a usb connection alone. This blog says the original and clone share the same functions and only differ in price and operating system.
The WiFi in the MDI 2 (SP163-E) that I received seems to be built in instead of being a USB dongle, and so far I haven’t been able to set up the point to point WiFi communication the MDI 2 is also supposed to be capable of.
Here are some pictures showing the firmware update being done, and where there aren’t any USB A ports under the covers labeled as USB A
The unit looks good, however it seems to simply be an MDI made to look like and MDI 2. When I plug it into a computer it will not power of the usb connection like and MDI 2 is supposed to, it does not have the USB A ports under the covers instead the is no opening under 1 and a power connector under the other like on the original MDI unit. I don’t see an SD card expansion slot like the MDI 2 is supposed to have either.
Once I was able to plug the unit in and get it powered up the GM MDI Manager software doesn’t recognize it as a MDI 2 but as a MDI. I could not connect to it until I updated the software, because it was 2 years old. Which not really a big deal because I was expecting the software to require and update to be the most current.
So my advice is: dont waste money on MDI2 knock-off. Just take a MDI instead if china clone

There are two optional ways for you: one is using ISTA-D, another is by MSI Installer and Web interface.
Option 1. Update BMW ICOM NEXT firmware via ISTA-D:
First, install ISTA-D software on your system so you can use it to install the firmware on your ICOM.
Next, start ISTA-D with ICOM connected to your car (Don’t need KL15, KL30 13.8V on pin 16 and ground on 4+5 is enough)
Then, go to connection manager and start the update.

You can click on the button as following picture shows:
Option 2. Update BMW ICOM NEXT firmware via WIS Installer:
First, install the MSI installer
Next, find the system and application firmware file (.bin for ICOM A1/A2 and .tar.gz for ICOM NEXT) in your installed folder, System = ICOM Next-rootfs-XXXXXX. tar.gz, Application = ICOM Next-app-XXXXXX. tar.gz
Then, upgrade the ICOM firmware by web interface.
Note: For BMW ICOM NEXT firmware, the tarball is in C:\ProgramData\BMW\ISPI\data\TRIC\ICOMNext after you installed the MSI installer.
ICOM NEXT firmware 3.14.10 is tested on forum.
Here is feedback for your reference:
I test it this morning on a CIC of an E90 and an E60. And now also ICOM NEXT is flashing like HELL. So the bug of slow flashing CICR is gone with this upgrade. This I can confirm. THANK, it was long waiting but it was worth it.
