Is this it for Android?

What else do I need to buy for the most basic stuff? I just want to reset the "restraint malfunction" light that just went on, for now.

Yes that is the one I have. You get that then have to download the app. Your best bet is to pay for the full use of it. There Is so much you can do. That obd2 dungle also works for the F body style aswell as the E60

Carly went subscription style... $60-$70 yearly or something like that... No longer a one time fee....

 

[jadedj]

Has anyone tried this one? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MYUZNR8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3K5TG7CZTL4SK&psc=1

I read good things about it.

Stupid question ... I have an ELM bluetooth reader and the other day I tried to use it on my E60 for fun. Carly does not want to start up, it is at the beginning portion where it says please wait and a lot of verbage.. but it never goes to 100% after quite a while. I emailed carly with no response yet. I know the dongle works since torque connects and runs right away.. any idea?

I'm in no real rush since I did all my programming through INPAs etc on my laptop a year or two ago, but thought it would be neat to see it on my android phone with the ELM adapter (I used it for some other manufacturer cars to get codes)

I have Carly. Wish there was something else. It requires a subscription service which really pisses me off. It does fine with reading codes and clearing them. However the coding function is suspect. Car hasn't been right since I did some coding. Randomly lock and unlocks. Randomly rolls the driver side window down. If I wash the car with the key in my pocket it periodically locks and unlocks the doors (thankfully it hasn't rolled down any windows.

I just bought it. $85 for the adapter. $60/yr for subscription.
I complained to iCarly about the subscription and they bragged about everything they are working on. But I only have one car and I really don't care what they are adding for other vehicles.

as far as scanners go...

autel beats snap on hands down.. you have no idea what it feels like to buy a 5,000$ scan tool rig only to be told 14 months later that its another 1,800$ to update,

autel offers life time upgrades, We sold off our snap on solus for a autel maxisys, couldn't be happier

anyway... that's the 3-5 thousand dollar scan tool range.. I dont see you guys doing that.. BUT i can tell you that if your a bmw guy you should probably have a creator scanner

bmw scan tool module communication (non coding) worth the 50$ or so... hands down.. even though i have expensive scan tools.. i keep this cheap scan tool in the car

your next best option if you want spend a little more money is buying a normal regular obd2 scan tool..

like a 500$ mk808 which is something that will communicate with every car that was made after 1996.... this is something more of a investment.. unless you plan on dieing soon or not owning another car,
one time investment for a scan tool that will talk to every car on the road,

regardless of what you want to do .. spending some cash on a good scan tool isnt a bad idea anymore.. OBD2 isnt going away any time soon..


and dont tell me its to much.. Im still rocking a samsung note, people go out and spend 900$ on phones.. so 2-500 dollars for a scan tool isnt that bad

Rain Sensor

I just had my windshield replaced - need to reset the rain sensor. Does Carly do this or will I need INPA with a cable?

2010 528i xDrive, E60.

I don't recall seeing that option in Carly...

Just ordered the Creator C110 C110+ V5.2 Airbag ABS SRS Diagnostic Fault Trouble Code Scanner Reader for BMW from Amazon. Can't wait to clear that stupid Passenger Restraint Malfunction light. It's so annoying.

Clearing Codes - Scanner - Passenger Restraint

Just ordered the Creator C110 C110+ V5.2 Airbag ABS SRS Diagnostic Fault Trouble Code Scanner Reader for BMW from Amazon. Can't wait to clear that stupid Passenger Restraint Malfunction light. It's so annoying.

So - Did this tool work for you to clear that code/light? Curious

Sure did! That and replacing the battery

BimmerLink: this is a well done fault code app for iPhone, inexpensive and clean/intuitive interface. Recently updated so all information in English language. About 50 bucks for app and OBD II wi-fi device—-no subscription required But oops, only reads F and G Series cars.

Do you need a computer to use the Creator C110 scanner.
If so will it work with Apple and PC?
Looks like it comes with a CD.

I ran into exactly the same problem. I first blamed the adapter as faulty and the eBay seller actually sent another. Same problem. I bought another cheaper model just for the hell of it - same problem.
Odd a couple of times Carly seemed to link up and start code check but it spat out 38 different error codes. I actually eMailed this to Carly for advice but their response was along the lines of "Oh you need to buy the Pro Version and we are working hard on so many new features."

In researching INPA and getting an OBD2 connection cable I discovered some E60/E61 actually have 2 pins of the OBD2 port swapped!! It depends which year and how BMW were doing their own diagnostics. I forget details now (this was 2 years ago). BUT the upshot is that it seems the ELM connectors will not work in the car.

I've got an Actron CP9690 (Bosch) from 5 years ago I bought for another vehicle. It's reading any codes I've had so far with no problems.

Does it support obd1 too? I need both obd1 and obd2 support scanner.

 

[Gene B]

I like Carly's live monitoring and logging capabilities. You can set it up to show funky gauges too...

Whats the final cost per month when you add on all the additional functions/features?
Can you change the tune with this OBD scanner?
Thanks,

 

[Gene B]

Autel md802 works well for me. $200

Does the Autel clear and resolve error codes?
Doe it have the ability to add a tune to the car?
Thanks,

I have the Bimmergeeks Protool. Works off my android phone with a $20 K+D cable from Amazon. Program cost $120 and constantly has updates for more functions. It will capture live data and apparently allows for module programming though I haven't needed that function. (yet)
