i got the original carly where it was £50 forever and when it updated they tried charging me a monthly subscription so i complained to them and they gave me my full version free forever
I bought Carly too, second hand £40, and yeah plugged it in, all seemed good but then realised it’s quite useless in lite form, very disappointing, I’m too am wondering to pay for the year subscription, but trying to see if I absolutely need it, I’m interested to know what other similar obd diagnostic tools are out there for our e87’s and value for money wise too, good video mate!
Like most over advertised things Carly is expensive. I bought a OBD2 scanner for £10 no fees and it does everything any DIY mechanic would ever need. Fault codes removed easily. Full diagnostic checks. Check things I didn't know the car had. Citroen C3...
Hi mate would it be possible to do a video on coding makeing your side lights and angel eyes brighter I dont have any coding stuff at the moment am terrified I may do something wrong and brake things. Having said that a lot of people are saying that BLUE DRIVER is fantastic . Cheers pal
Hi, you can check what we have for your vehicle here: caristaapp.com/vehicles/bmw BMW is one of the brands we are currently working on so more features will be added in the following months.
@Morgan. This one? thelondongoods.co.uk/products/bluetooth-pro-obdii-scan-tool-for-iphone-android?Google%20Shopping&gclid=Cj0KCQiAgKzwBRCjARIsABBbFuhOrH-TOpE540xaec89k9XUJ3RRG88__HbM1bkOvL_c5vtW8yHUN7AaAoe-EALw_wcB
BUYER BEWARE: 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.
Don’t buy Carly for BMW. It requires you to input your exact location in order to work. This gives them the ability to turn off your service and your adapter. Free software is available. Don’t get ripped off by the Carly scam
Stupid enough to buy one, only to discover that functionality not available unless you pay annual charge... utter rip off and waste of money. Carly promoted on other TH-cam channels... no mention of shortcomings. Feel I have been conned big time.
Paul yes i noticed how other TH-cam channels are promoting Carly. Presumably for the money Carly are stuffing in their faces. I am truly sorry you and Drive life got ripped off on this never ending subscription scam. Your comment has reached far and wide and if its any consolation, I was going to buy one as i had a 25% black Friday e-mail dropped in my inbox by them, but after seeing this honest review and your comment they have lost a potential customer. I thought something was sketchy because their web site does not mention the ongoing subscription anywhere, only the cost of the OBD adapter. so thanks and sincerely sorry you got burned.

Cheers, reckon you've saved me a pile of dosh! Was thinking of buying!
Glad to hear it Stephen! didn't want people getting ripped off like I did 😁
Thank you for posting this you just saved me $120
this close to buy 1 to use on my bmw, thx for the tip 🙏
If you just buy the adapter without the full access it s pointless .
Carly full version is expensive but one of the best diag on the market .

Thanks for insight, dont need hard- and software that are essentially useless without full version!

What is the name of the obd scanner you bought?
Hello, is the DPF regeneration on free version Lite version of Carly?😮
I was an early user so, I get the full version for free and I still dont think its worth the money

I’m pretty sure every year when you repay the subscription you get that years software update for it reading the car. Only something I heard
i've just bought one for my e81 and bloody regret it now... £56 for the adaptor and 50 a year to use it properly. can't believe that
Well how much is Stealership charging you for coding or modifying your car?
What a Load of pants thanks for the video I was close buying one .
Does Carly lite let you clear fault codes?
That’s a useful video 👍
Wow. 100 quid just so I can activate the digital mph? Hard pass for me. Any other options for me?

Morgan Muleh can it register a new battery?
Thank you, was interested until you showed that it is a subscription based con, it is not for me.
so the adapter for £60 is worthless without ponying up £50 a year subscription? errr yes but no thanks!
Yep....

I have it too, what a complete RIP off !!🤬🤬
Shocked at how awful the free version is!!!😑😑
And did you mention that they charge you EVERY YEAR for using it. What a bloody con!
I paid over $100.00 USD for this software, and it's a complete flop. The Customer service is a flop too. Don't waste your money.
