Got my BMWhat app - Page 20

wow this is a great thread, just picked up a 2008 X5 3.0si with 3rd row for my wife's "mom mobile" (3rd kid coming in Dec) and it's on the original battery (and original brakes & tires... car only has 30k on it!) so would need to register the new one... ability to do diagnostics and some additional coding is a huge plus. I will seriously consider getting this setup

by chance is there anyone in Northern NJ area using this on their X5? I'd love to see it in action before buying the app and the adapter

Do not think about it, just do it. Also get OBDFusion for $3.99, it will work with the BMWhat/Carly Bluetooth interface.

Also, if you decide to purchase Carly, enter voucher code ZAG6FX on the Carly shopping cart here www.ivini-tech.de/en and you will save € 5 off the purchase price. You can even save buying the adapter from Amazon, but you would need to contact Carly support at www.mycarly.com before purchasing with the voucher code so that they can generate a working discount code for Amazon.

Thanks for the advice guys, even though Neil the OP was kind enough to agree to meet up with me I just went ahead and bought the adapter and iOS app since everyone here recommends it and it's relatively cheap. Should be here today even though I ordered it last night at like 9:30pm from Amazon... gotta love Prime!

I'm an e46Fanatic too, but you may not know me there as I'm an OG and haven't had my e46 in a long time. But I'm still a Moderator there, and in fact several smilies there are named after me or my wife Cristina (the whipping ones lol from former site admin Clem busting my balls when I got hitched)... my name there is simply B

But OBDFusion is current $1 cheaper than Torque Pro and properly supports Wideband O2 sensors and Fuel System Status.

Hi everybody,
New to E70 (had an E53 years ago) and to Carly BMW.
I read a few pages here, YouTube tutorials and still confused. Is the WiFi adapter needed to run the Carly software? I read about people using it and others doing the software changes through the car's Bluetooth. I installed the Lite version (iOS) and with the engine ON or OFF the Carly app doesn't connect to the car's Bluetooth. I want to try to connect using the Lite version before I end up spending $45 on the full version. Anyone in Winston Salem, NC that would like to test his Carly software on my car?

Thanks anyway for any help
