Pro Tools vs Carley App
Hi Guys and Gals
Has anyone tried the new Pro tools App?? How does it compare to Carley?? I have Carley and fortunately bought it before the new yearly subscription charge so don't have to pay any more for it. is it worth upgrading to, or would something like the foxwell unit be a better buy?? Thanks |

FWIW This guys does a good review of Pro Tools: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6me7XGLd5Mw He is from the USA though, so some of this might not apply to us here. |

I have both..and tbh I use them both for different things as there are certain functions in one that is not in the other..... Really depends what you want it for. For example, I needed to reset 'short circuit count' on my FRM due to a bad interior led bulb and Xenon ballast... Carly cannot do this but Pro Tool can. Initial outlay for Pro Tool is quite a bit compared to Carly

I've got the foxwell too, do you know if you can code digital Speedo on the cluster like Carly can? And also do coding for power mirrors. To be honest I only got it to scan for fault codes and now would like to do some coding if it is capable. Thanks |

Save yourself money, buy a K+DCAN cable and learn how to code, it's really not hard and theres so many guides out there.
Once you've learnt how to use NCS expert the possibilities are endless. For fault codes use INPA, for me personally I put in the time to learn which wasn't much and now I don't even consider those. |

Protools came out and thought why buy it. My daughter bought a 328xi E92 recently and I needed something quick because I am usually doing other things on it besides fiddling with a laptop. I had the cable so the Master license seemed like a pretty damn good deal. Not once did I entertain the thought of buying Carly, especially now with a subscription service when I have standard tools and ISTA |
