I read conflicting advice but I only have Android devices, and I'm not going to buy an iphone just to use Bimmerlink!

OK, I came to this thread to ask about this... I read in another thread you need bimmerlink to clear errors, and when looked on the play store (android) no such app is there...

so this is an apple only app? My kids have my old ipads, which I guess I could use... or borrow a phone from my parents I guess, but it's either that or esys?

Guess I'll see if I can get bimmerlink on the kid's ipads... they are like 1st or 2nd gen... I don't even know if it'll work lol
The app will work. It's free if you buy BimmerCode so just do it. Lol
Mav, are you saying bimmerlink is free if you buy BimmerCode?
Ya.
