I have their cable (works very well) and have been waiting for this app for a while.
I'm disappointed in the app (for now) and here's why: I have ISTA, INPA, OBD Fusion (Paid), and Carly w/Carly OBD reader. ISTA - complicated/detailed work INPA - quick and dirty work Carly - reliable, but overly complicated UX when mobile (away from home) OBD - quick and easy when mobile and/or don't want to get the laptop out

Thanks for the feedback..
But confused as ever.. Looking for a tool to diagnose issues.. And do some coding.. That doesn't break the bank..

Do you have a spare laptop or would you want to get one for cheap? This looks to be great for the price, and he'll send you an FSC code and a link to update your maps to 2018-1 for the CIC (you need a couple USB sticks to complete the transfer of map data)

Carly is decent enough for simply coding. Beyond that some of the free/downloadable software (NCS expert, etc) would be great, if you are comfortable going that route/have the skills to set it up.

I find it annoying that you have to use their Bluetooth adapter for it. Meanwhile my konnwei obd2 bt adapter works fine with an older version of Carly. For monitoring, I like torque pro with custom pids.

The BG cable is great. Get that and then play around with the different software to decide what you like. I own Carly and never use it. I like ISTA+ for scanning and NCS for coding. In the past these needed a separate laptop but that is no longer the case as they all seem to support W10 X64 now. https://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=1227470

Can the Bimmergeeks bluetooth adapter be used with ISTA+ and Windows 10? Or is it just limited to the android-only app?
