All windows down, driver door open, daytime running lights off, dome light off, CIC volume all the way down then off. The updates with icom have taken over an hour so I'm not sure what you are doing that has you worried.
The issue is in case of a complete coding of the car. For example, I did last week the 330xi e90 of my friend, the coding failed after 30 min on the JBE, not sure the problem was because of the power supply since his battery was new and fully loaded but...
30mins with no battery support is 30mins to long in my opinion
