Hi there, great videos. How do I do to code headlamp low beam and hi beam error. I removed halogen and installed Led bulbs and gives me error.
Question 2. Do you think that AuxBeam H7 with CANBUS codebox will work with no dashboard error? What do you recommend ?
Thank you for your help
That's mean Bimmercode can be used in LCI retrofit coding, right?
bimmercode is shit, doesnt have for open valves doesnt have 440i logo, and M4 logo even doesnt work
This link doesn't work for e82 apparently? Is that a mistake on Amazon's behalf ?
Hello,does this adaptor from link cover all Bmw models?Thanks
Carly is a rip-off. No refunds and they hide the fact that it's subscription-based. Deceptive advertising, sketchy business practices, no refunds, questionable value/functionality vs a standalone OBD2 scanner.
Agreed!
I bought the Mercedes version, and it was almost useless.
Sold it and never looked back.
I bought it a couple years ago and actually spoke to someone over the phone and he said “if you go for that option it’s £109 but it isn’t a subscription it’s a one time payment” a year later they took £109 again and refused to refund
The banner you use that slides up and recommends subscribing….THANK YOU!!! It grates my nerves when other TH-camrs beg for followers at the beginning of all of their vlogs.
Agreed. Lots of morons on youtube. Many ask you to subscribe to their channel and like the video before you have watched it.
Bro, relax 😅
Bimmercode allows to be used by many different OBD2 adapter where Carly uses their own specific adapter that you have to purchase from them.
Exactly that !
Very helpful, thank you 👍
Can I use any Wifi/Bluetooth adapter for Bimmercode?
@@michaeldschutte yes. I just buy any random wifi/bluetooth adapter to link with the bimmercode/bimmerlink on my iphone.
Carly also has a yearly subscription fee, they auto enroll you (~$100), see the fine print. There are many good if not better options available that do not require a yearly subscription at a lower cost, same functionality. You rock BMW Doctor!
Can you state any nice option that doesn't require yearly subscription
@@anthonysylvester8414BimmerCode ?
I believe in your choice.......I will go for Bimmercode>>>>>>Thank you for the review.
really interesting, i like bimmercode a lot now, could you do such an in depth video about ista, live data, and all the other things it can do? Cause you have done very few videos about it, keep up the good work really enjoying it ;)
Thanks for sharing your review. I’ve been using BC for over a year now and I agree that it’s worth the $80-$90 that you’ll pay one-time plus have updated firmware. Plus, I never knew iC was that restrictive 🤨Great review and thanks again 👍🏽💯
Hello, I need to fit a new battery to my bmw x1 e84 2010, can I use Carly for this to register the battery or will I need bimmercode? Thanks in advance
Hello, great video, really helped me choose between the two. I didn’t quite get what you meant by updated the firmware when you began explaining the Bimmercode app Logo coding advantages - which firmware you were referring to? The app, the car’s? How do you update the car firmware?
Carly will auto-renew after 12 months without a reminder and they do not give refunds. Avoid.
@@pwensor I‘m sorry but a subscription service that auto renews is not uncommon. You need to pay better attention in future instead of complaining after the fact.
I am having a nightmare trying to get my head around the right scanner / coding for my 2001 330D E46 - I just want to access some options (like alarm beep on lock and unlock) and perhaps get a general health check from time to time. Bimmercode looks the way to go but they dont list my car? Any suggestions?
Can I cod start the engine without hit the brakes ? I have issue in the sensor that release the gear box
Damn. After watching this video I went to purchase Bimmercode only to see my 2004 E46 325i isn’t supported. I have scanners that work but they don’t code. To be honest, I upgraded my headlights and tail lights with Auxito LED bulbs and all I want to do is code those so I don’t get the error lights. I’m retired and looking for a cheap and easy way to do this. No way I’m buying Carly…too many nightmare vids on their annual renewal costs. Any ideas?
Appreciate the video, didn't realise so many other people requested this video. I literally asked a day or 2 ago and here we are 😂 I'll go with BimmerCode and just keep off expert mode I think 👍
Hi Dean great videos they have been a massive help. only downside about this video is bimmercode have now stopped using Vgtate Icar pro adapter. I followed your link bought the adapter and I get a message saying bimmercode no Longer support that adapter. you might wanna update the link.
I’m having a problem with my 2013 Z4 SDrive35i, the passenger airbag and seat belt light won’t go off on the dash. Which unit would be good for this problem? Thanks 👍
If you are considering using Carly, DON'T. If you know that is what you want and you are sure it will work with your vehicle, then buy it. When you do buy access to the software and it does not work, Carly WILL NOT refund regardless of how long you had the license, be it hours or days. Also be warned the license auto renews whether you want it or not.
😂😂if u have android u can get it basically free, u do have to buy the odb though
@@DJCrisisUKPlease provide the link for that 😁
Great video Dean!
I wonder if it's yearly payment on bimmercode like carly has?
No yearly payment on BimmerCode. One payment and that’s it my friend, nothing more.
@@BMWDoctor that’s me sold!
I hate yearly payment of carly.
Bimmercode is one off charge
I want to install my recharged battery, which app is better? alsowhich is cheapest?
Hi everyone.. quick Question. I have bimmercode app . My Q is which adapter (scanner) is best to use with the app . I mean they recommend a lot of choices 😢🤷 help , thanks
Can bimmercode run a forced desulfation session of NOx catalytic converter? I see Carly can. How does it compare to ista?
Currently researching what should I buy. I have the bloody Carly Hardware but I do not want to purchase 1 year subscription.
glad i watched this video bummercode is the way to go
What i didn’t appreciate is that Bimmercode doesn’t allow you to use the purchased license in both desktop and mobile versions…you’ll have to buy it separately
Hi there, can I use Bimmercode to change radio FM band frequency from Japanese to European? Also what program can I use to load my local maps into the navigation system?
I look video till the end and still don’t understand, can you give me advice- what is the better app for my BMW G21 ?
With the bimmercode, can I program my remote control to open and close my hard top with the remote? I have the 2009 z4 hardtop.
Can I use the INNOVA OBD2 reader to change features along with using BIMMERCode app on I-phone or no need to use OBD2 reader?
Why do you need an adaptor ,does it not just plug into to OBD 11 port?
I am mainly interested in turning off (completely) comfort access in G11 (740). Can someone please confirm if I can permanently turn off using BC or Carly (or both) ?
Can either of these units be used to code a new ignition key for the car?
Very good video ...
You are right, but i have another car, Jeep Grand cherokee, and with carly, i can use it on both
Hello my friend I’m having issue to start engine battery is good but when I press the brake don’t release the transmission and do not start.
Question is would bimmercode work with the r53 ?
any of these apps can delete the SOS Phone error or deactivate the phone module in the middle arm rest on E61?
is bimmercode a one time payment?
How would you compare BimmerCode and a Foxwell NT510/530/etc?
does Bimmer Code work with the Carly adapter?
Sorry if I missed this in the video, but do you have to buy the full version of BimmerCode to access all that the video showed?
Also would like to know
What is the best and most budget friendly reader compatible for all functions on bimmercode thanks
Can you disable the TMPS sensor warning on the BimmerCode? CC-ID 63
Awesome review answered all my questions. I LOL so hard because I have never done this, but I am stupid enough to try expert mode.
Thank you for this very informative video! Great job!
The bell is clever as well!!
What do u think about the LAUNCH CRP919X OBD2 Car Diagnostic Scanner Full System Reset Scan Tool?
Does bimmer code tell you what driving mode was used the most; like the carly app telling you if its been beat on
Bimmercode doesn't support the E39. Does Carly?
Yes
Good 👍 video .. Do you have to pay for annual subscription for Beemercode
I bought this for my 2012 Fiat 500 Sport. I was disappointed to see that I couldn’t change any of the lights, wiper settings.
Do you know if there is an app like Bimmercode for all cars?
Hi

But i would like to do more but dont understand german, how do i translate to understand everything i see. Aktiv and not aktic, lots i would like to know.

Is It possible to update the service history at bmw g30 by bimmercode or bimmerlink.
i bought a random obd reader for 5 euros will bimmercode or carly work with it?
Great info wish I watched it before I bought Carly
same
Same
Me 2 :(
Which one works best for tpms delete?
I use bimmercode to code the car but the app said successfully but the car got nothing changes the module should restart but it did not happen as welled you know why?
Is bimmer code suitable with vaxhall
Does bimmercode check for odometer tampering?
Can it switch on my auto fold mirrors on G30 that won’t work and ain’t got a switch.
Question was doing preventative maintenance and I replaced my EKPM2 to EKPM3 and VVT motor and sensor now, the relearn process for these to can I use BimmerLink? To register and code these in my car?
I want to remove Transport mode and code my fob to lower the top on my 08 z4. Which is better and cheaper for that?
Carly messed my car up. I tried to turn my friends bmw windshield wipers off and now my bmw wipers stopped working. He has an e90 and I do as well
Great Video, exactly what I needed. But: Isn't BimmerCode german as well? From what I read, it was developed by some company in Stuttgart.
Correct the app and interface was made in Germany. The transcripts and all data is made in China and intergrated into the app. Therefore China and Germany share it together.
Hey blood what are you wearing
Bimmer code will not code a e90 with x drive lower then a 335
Wat do you mean
can you add in extra features (e.g.
option software packs) which you did not have ordered as standard? or is it only the modules that were pre-installed
Hi, I’m considering purchasing a Carly or Bimmer code for my Mini Cooper S 2015, but first I would like to know if Bimmer Code works for my Mini Cooper 2015. Does anyone know which one is best for my Mini? I appreciate any feedback. Thanks
Awesome video as always Dean 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
Thanks Paul
I have the full version of Carly it backs up all original coding before you recode.
Correct it does but I would trust Carly with my FRM like I do with BimmerCode. Also carly doesn’t give you access to other modules like BimmerCode does, you also can’t code in launch control with Carly and other functions. With BimmerCode you can do retrofits if you know FDL coding. But if Carly you cannot do that also you must pay Carly yearly, BimmerCode there is no yearly charge it’s a one off cost that’s it.
I was pointing out your statement was incorrect. if it’s not to be trusted that’s a different issue 😊
Yes not be trusted ! 😂 it backs up correct, but once it destroys your FRM module your backup is useless 😅 so don’t eve take that risk. As the FRM holds most of the valuable coding features on the car.
I need to recode a replacement radio from Hi-Fi back to Basic so it will work, on my E90. Which app is going to do that?
I would recommend Protools for that
Hello, I have a Vgate wifi obde adapter. I would like to buy Bimmerlink, but I am not sure if it will be able to have a connection, I have a connection with Bimmercod, does anyone know?
Yes, it will work with both apps. I have vGate OBD2 adapter myself.
I have use the BimmerCode whit THE Bluetooth and the wifi obd2 (checket if compatibel whit e91 320d touring )and Its not working ,have error that this obd is not compatibel whit my car so for me Its zero
How to turn of start stop on 530e g30
Hello. In bimertool i saw the transmision adaptation button. Is it safe to use it on e91 330d 2010? I we done the transmission service but not adaptation? What is the procedure?
Thank you
Hi
Will i be able to do an ELV reset with this adapter and BimmerCode ?
No not with BimmerCode you cant
@@BMWDoctor cheers man
Just so everyone knows, Carly has switched to a yearly subscription service and many people have reported shady practices regarding this. Buyer beware.
Doc,
can i turn off Auto leveling on LED headlights with Bimmercode? When my 640i driver side low beam moves up or down it shuts off. I have to flash highbeams to reset.
Happens all the time on hard launches, hills, braking, and turns, and potholes...any quick movement and it shuts low beam off.
I have a 2020 bmw 530i I have to replace the passenger occupancy sensor ( the seat pad that determines if someone is sitting or not). Can Bimmercode program this?
What are the recommended FEM codes when swapping stock halogen H4 bulbs for LEDs ( with no CANBUS) on a 2015 F56 Cooper 2 doors hardtop Base? Do you need to turn off voltage monitoring 1/2 and 2/2 in addition to the Warning option to make the expected light flickering and error codes go away?
Olá . Falo do brasil 🇧🇷, bimmer serve na bmw série 1 2008 motor n46 ?
Great review. Can BimmerCode code a replacement CCC unite in an '06 330i to the vehicle's VIN & VO?
Can you code out an Egr valve on an E90 318d with bimmercode ?
Abs blending?
Nice vid bro, some chinese coding is not great in other products :) but point taken!
