Bimmercode app if you want to do it the no brainer way. You’ll also need an obd2 BT or WiFi adapter

How about the carly app? I bought the module but haven't used it yet. Lol

My phone has a usb-c port, is there an obd2 that will work with it? Or wifi adapter you suggest?

i had carly, but it can only provide high level configuration. For example, I would like to activate easy Entrance function But it does not show in the list.

All you need is a iOS or Android device and a Vgate iCar Pro Bluetooth 4.0 or Wi-Fi OBD adapter.

It works with both.

neverdone · 02-18-2018, 11:00 AM

Probably better to get BT instead of Wi-Fi in case Wi-Fi signal isn't that good?

CatalinP · 02-18-2018, 11:04 AM

Are you planning to code the car from inside the house or what?

neverdone · 02-18-2018, 11:06 AM

My garage ya.

CatalinP · 02-18-2018, 11:07 AM

Both bluetooth and Wi-Fi give at least 10m range, but you normally code the car sitting in the driver's seat, that is less than 2 meters between the adapter and the phone.

It use Bluetooth or wifi so it doesn't matter if your phone is having a USB c port or not

CeeTeeX5 · 02-18-2018, 04:21 PM

it uses a wifi direct connection. You don't need to be connected to your home network.
