Carly for BMW Pro for Android
With all the additional in-app purchases it may seem expensive, but it's worth every penny. Also, buy the Carly Adapter for trouble free operation. Highly recommended.
Works great. Shame my firmware is the one with a fault with it. I can't change the lighting options. I cleared of the fault codes for previous light bulbs, brakes etc.
Took a couple tries to properly link but works perfect after that. Used on a 2012 Z4 (E89) using Galaxy S7 running Nougat. Would get 5 stars if not for the in app purchases for iDrive / battery registration / and some engine service resets - getting all this will be an additional $40+. Should be free considering I spent $120 (Carly adapter and app). But still A LOT cheaper than the dealer and we'll worth it for the coding, now I can close my top without stopping the car, make my mirrors fold in after locking and so forth. I use a Launch CRP 129 for the service/engine and airbag reset and battery registration so not a big deal for me that they want additional $$ for those features. Basically bought this for the coding, which so far works fine even with the latest update. Just need to remember to turn off your phones WiFi and only use Bluetooth to connect -this is where most of the connection complaints come from.
F30 Idrive coding doesn't work, finds a module ok , reads values and backs up but fails to code it, I've managed to changed start up logo on BMW Christmas but it worked only once, I can't bring it back to original value. None of other codings for Idrive works. I'd give 5 but until sorted it's a weak 2 stars because things that don't work shouldn't be released in first place
Great, awesome, good. Does what it says so far, still learning it with my 2006 330i.
sometimes can read ecu sometimes cannot, not consistent and always need to unplug and restart app
Phenomenal app. Pro version definitely worth it
Greater app
Nice and easy
Great app
Excellent app
Useful
Great
First dongle didn't work. After struggling through that mess I got one that worked at no additional charge to me. Now the app performs flawlessly. I love it. Used it for code reading, coding, and monitoring. Very well thought out software.
I bought the app to install a new battery in my car. It worked well, but I had to pay extra to register the battery. The app gave no indication in the description that I would have to pay another $12 on top of the $60 for the app itself. The excuse of extra features would make the app more expensive is pretty shallow.
Update - works as advertised. Took a few updates, some phone adjustments and some deletes and reinstalls. All the cool things I wanted now work! I changed my rating from 2 to 4. Carly tech was responsive, but I can't give a 5 to an app that took so much effort to work. Original post below: I bought this for 3 reasons ... To turn off start stop, to allow DVDs to play while driving and to program new battery. I get an error when trying to code, they charge extra for both the DVD and new battery registration. I'm already into it for lots of deer, and I won't pay more for the DVD and battery until coding works. Patiently waiting, but not impressed so far.
Great app works brilliantly with my android has lots of great functionality does what dealers charge hundreds of pounds for. You will have to pay to unlock some functions but again it is still great value for money. ????
It need a some advance but I loved it. I get regular updates but does see any difference and it doesn't really specific about it updates. Can you fix it where I can update all my sensors to the latest update for my E63.
Great support for occasional bugs. Currently, the adapter is unable to connect via Bluetooth on pixel 2 xl Android 8.1
I bought cable from Carly directly yet I still,with every connection,get a reminder that "Carly for bmw would work best for me if I had an original adapter"--??. As if mine isn't. The manuals they claim to have consist only of 4or5 FAQ's. By far not a manual. The interface of the app is underwhelming considering price charged.Possibly cause they spend all their time creating updates to stay ahead of patchers instead of creating new features.And lastly every connection I get asked if I want the cord to be my default cord,it refuses to save my response.
Great app but have had issues with it failing to load a couple times. A full restart is required to bring back to life.
App muy buena, la recomiendo, puedes leer errores que algunos diagnosis de talleres no detectan, es una gran herramienta para mantener el coche perfecto. +++
The coding keep crashing, unable to do all available. Odings cor my chassis( F32)very limited coding
I am able to quickly and easily change settings and coding's the with this app and the adapter. Saved me time and money bypassing the Dealer for these tasks - 2008 BMW 650i
Since the app update, it hasn't worked. Keeps crashing on start up.
Works great! No problems coding my 06 e60 m5. The price is a little steep after buying the BT OBD but it worked flawlessly.
Let me register my new battery on my F36 and saved me a ton on coding and battery install labor at the dealer.
It's getting better now, not as slow. I'm really liking it, coding is much faster now.
Would love it if you could add some custom or better looking gauges in parameters
Fantastic options and very easy to navigate
Great tool for all bmw enthusiasts works very well
Absolute must if you own and service your own BMW
Very user friendly and packed with many modifications!
Whilst the app does what it says I find the cost way too much. Having bought my Bluetooth reader for the car I have had to pay £43 for the app then a further £10 for oil reset which is a basic requirement. Now needing a dpf regen and another £10. So far I'm into about £100. Where does it end carly? I would advise anyone considering this to look carefully at what you want to achieve and how much it will cost you. Reply to your comment I don't consider oil service reset to be an advance feature. Your reply is a stock answer and as you haven't replied to my comment I am changing my review to 1*
I had issues backing up things while coding, but just had to remove the "Lite" version and it worked. Will update with any issues. Paid $60 but seems that they keep wanting add ons for services which add up. What does the $60 really cover? Basic basic coding. I wish Bimmercode covered the E-Series because I'd get it in a heartbeat over this.
Technical support does not return emails no physical phone number to contact someone with a problem. If you have a technical issue you're basically on your own it's not worth the money
GREAT app it works
Great app
Amazing app everything works. But reason for comment is the this app updates almost every 2day on my phone with nothing explaining what is new. Any one experiencing this please reply thanks

Works well and does what it supposed to do. I think all features should be included with the purchase of the app and the adapter. Developers are leeching their customers a bit in my opinion.
