if you use Bimmercode, do yourself a favor and get an enet cable and adapter to use with your android/apple device. If you have been using wifi, like me, you will be so pleased with the increase in speed and efficiency to make changes. What used to take 10-15 minutes, takes a minute or two. Makes tinkering much more enjoyable!!!

100% agree. Most things take seconds to code.

I've been using that modBMW wifi adapter, was fairly quick. I initially tried the recommended MX Bluetooth and dear god was that slow.

Yeah I love the wifi dongle and It works with the ISTA on the laptop, no cables.

OP, which WiFi adapter were you using? They do differ, especially if you were using an E-Series WiFi adapter.

I should correct my original post. I have a BLUETOOTH adapter, not Wi-Fi. I have the OBDLink MX+. So that’s my litmus test for comparison. Can’t speak to Wi-Fi!
