Coding

[dalecan]

I just did some coding on my 2012 x5d at the weekend. I used the Carly app with a generic wifi obd dongle that I bought for Bout $15 and my iPad. For some reason the app wouldn't work on my iPhone, but it worked fine on my iPad.

My main reason was that I wanted the fold/unfold of wing mirror on open and lock. I also did the windows up/down with the keyfob and a few bits and pieces with the lights. It was super easy. I need to go back and turn my side marker lights off now.

One thing I could not do was remove the seatbelt chime. The app kept saying that the obd dongle couldn't read that. Has anyone experienced this? I'm wondering if I need to get the Carly specific dongle.

I was disappointed that I couldn't use this on my z4 Mcoupe. Apparently I should be able to in a few months when they get the software finished for the iPad/iPhone.

If your thinking about doing this, do it, it really is super easy.
