Bmwhat app (Carly for BMW)

EDwelly · 11-01-2014, 11:27 PM

Hello all. I have a 2011 328ix and ordered the BT adapter. I have both Google and Apple devices. Is one better than the other?

Thanks ~ Erik

Hey, what year is your bmw?

You should enable US corner markers, works for me.

Currently when I have my car in Automatic stance, I have my AE burning and my Front amber corners are burning dimmed.

Hey guys, new version is up, and a new option in Coding:
Flashing brake lights under heavy braking (BFD) for newer models (1, 3 (E9x), X1 and Z4 (E89) series)

Did anybody tried yet?

Also there's Battery registration now available as inApp

WilliamS · 11-07-2014, 12:16 PM

Also looks like it added corner delete, now where did I leave my dongle!

MilanF30 · 11-07-2014, 12:19 PM

Yep that too...
I've tried Flashing brake lights under heavy braking (BFD) but it doesn't seems to work

EDIT: BEST APP EVER.

bought the full version and tried to code it through the bluetooth however it said I needed a cable in order to do so. BTW my e93 is a 2010, guess I'm getting one of those cables through ebay

fyi I just received an email from BMWhat. Their "official" cables and wireless dongles are now available thru Amazon, free ship:

well i hope that eBay cable works out. if not, now you know a cheaper place to find BMWhat's cable.

fwiw i have a cable that reads the dme flawlessly, using a different program.....but total fail with BMWhat.

Crossing my fingers that the eBay one works.

yeah hope it does. it's worked out for some on this thread.

fyi I also had an issue with the otg cable that connects between the odb cable and my android device. My first two otg cables wouldn't work, third one worked and then it was clear that my odb cable was incompatible with the BMWhat app....so I'm a little gun-shy about trying a non BMWhat supported cable.

Scrippy · 11-09-2014, 02:02 PM

You can't really code with it. You can send pre configured settings. So you could do corner outs/window up on fob...... But you cannot read module files and do what you want. So if they don't have a feature you want that's it. Where as with NCS Expert you can edit raw text files in any way. And it's super easy. You can't modify VO info of modules either. If your car is older than 08 you have to use android because it has USB support. Apple is Wifii only. I use mine for code reading and clearing only. My iPhone Whatapp can't code my 07 335 though.

Older year cars require the Android version because it can use an USB cable. The iPhone version only uses wifii ODB which on older year BMW's can't maintain a good healthy connection. So on my 07 335 I can read errors, clear errors and read modules but not code them. I went back to NCS Expert and WinKFP.

I'll let you know what happens once i get it through the mail sometime this week.

haha such fail, cable doesn't work so I just ordered the bmwhat one. the generic one connects then it says no connection 3?

bob.g · 11-10-2014, 10:35 PM

i just got the cable from bmwhat for my 06 325xi, it didnt work.. but when testing the same cable with bmwlogger and trying to read codes, it did pull my ecu info..so in my case it seems to be something related to USB OTG on my pos galaxy s2. Gonna test the cable with another android phone to see what happens.

wdeerfield · 11-11-2014, 07:09 AM

it seems a lot of people in here have android. could someone with an iphone 5s help me understand what i need exactly? build date of 11/08 on my LCI E90. Do i just download the app and get the OBD wifi adapter? And then i can code?

e92ry · 11-12-2014, 09:44 AM

Can you perform a corner delete on the free version? or do you need to pay for the full version to do basic coding?

best.i can tell you can only read fault codes with the free version, and you pass an encrypted file to them which they translate back and send to you to read via email. you can't clear the faults.without the paid version so i doubt you can code. i think the version is to convince you that you can connect, see the interface, etc.

oneup335 · 11-12-2014, 02:33 PM

I got the full version of the bmwhat app on my android and also purchased their over priced cable and I still can't do anything on my 09 335 e93. I tried to code it and it checks on the ecu to come back with 0, I can't register a new battery cause I also get the message that it can't read from the ecu. What am I doing wrong?
