Yeah, I've seen more comments lately like yours from people who say it's not that hard. I'll probably take the plunge one of these days, when I get ambitious enough to spend some time on it. But for now, Carly is simple and works well on the E92, so I can see where it will soon be a little more useful on the F15.

so got the app and the connector, so far after several hours playing with it all I can say is what a big POS! what it finds changes all the time, connection status changes all the time. And you will waste more time connecting and reconnecting just to get frustrated and say screw it you wasted the money on it. I was nervous about doing any coding so thought this would be an ease in after everything I read. I was wrong. when the options did show up I had the Kombi, BDC, and iDrive. being able to do anything with them is a different story.

I used this with my 1 series and it worked great. Had most of the options I wanted to change. Tried it with my X5 and could not get it to connect. I think it didn't work for me because I was using a generic elm 327 adapter instead of the Carley one. Decided to just go with the coding cable and program since it was a cheaper option and I could adjust more things.

I have used this on my 16 428ix and 15 X5, I have not had a problem with it, I do use the Carly Gen 2 adapter, and sometimes, I do need to set the connection speed to slow, but it works...

I also have the idrive and batter reset coding unlocked... And now it will do the ASD turn off and the exhaust flap open...

Do you guys code while engine running or not? I use Bimmercode and am very happy with the results. I heard from multiple people say to keep engine running to prevent battery dying.. I did all my codes with engine off and Acc on... no problem at all, the longest it took was 2 minutes.

ok so I have an update for me with this Carly app. so it seems that my issues are all stemming from the phone I am using. so I would recommend to not use a Google pixel of any kind, nothing but issues. however, I used my Nexus and it worked like a charm.

I have a 2017 (Dec 2016 Build) X5 and i purchased the Carly Video in Motion unlock. I followed all instructions to activate the video in motion but it still locks up after driving more than 2mph. Anyone now what I am missing? I was able to code a bunch other things but cannot get this to work.

Key Fob problems

I used Carly to code some things but now my key fob no longer works to lock the car or open the car. The car still starts. Anyone know how I can fix my screwup? I have a 2011 335d. BMW wants $450 for new key fobs, but since both quit working at the same time I don’t think it’s the fobs. I do not have the Comfort fob. Thanks in advance.

Carly backs up your initial read. Restore it.
