I am headed over to cruise the north Georgia mountains and may try to code this in the morning before I head out.

Anyone else unable to get this to connect to their car? I've been trying since the app was launched with no success with the following setup:
Bimmergeeks Cable Generic OTG cable LG V400 tablet App downloads from Playstore and opens on tablet just fine. Further, it downloads additional files when the app opens for the first time. When trying to connect to the car it says that the car is not recognized. Car is a 2011 E90 335i with 6AT. Tablet and cable combo works with MHD, XHP and Carly. The Bimmergeeks cable works just fine on my windows laptop to run the BMW suite of diagnostic and coding tools: INPA, NCS Expert etc. Anyone have a similar issue? Any ideas? |

Here is a nice success story.
Used Protool to code trailer hitch kit on 2007 E70. And the battery got registered successfully with ignition on, enging off Last edited by gamesfrager; 03-23-2019 at 11:55 PM.. |

Not sure that all retrofits can be coded or not, I'll let the experts talk about that.
But I have done folding mirrors retrofit, heated steering wheel retrofit, and trailer hitch module on X5 yesterday. Mention what you're looking for will help someone tell you if you can or cannot with Protool |

I replaced my battery with a new one, but the low battery indicator still comes on. Is the low battery indicator still coming on because I didn't register the new battery? |

How many belts does an N55 e90 have? I see one belt in the front and it's still attached.
Another odd thing, my car is overheating out of the blue. I was thinking it was the waterpump at first, but because of the low battery I was thinking maybe the culprit was the batter not delivering enough voltage to the waterpump for it to operate normally. (I read somewhere on one of the bmw forums that a dying battery can cause the waterpump to not work properly, not sure how true this is). Regardless, my new battery didn't solve my low battery warning and still overheating. I thank you for your insights and help. |

I think it's delivering 14+ volts. I've had the low battery indicator for a while now, and when I last checked the reading it was 14+. The car with the old battery would have died months ago if the alternator was bad, no?
Could a bad alternator/dying battery lead to overheating. Or am I just unlucky and have 2 problems. See below link: https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=911836 Last edited by MyCar; 03-24-2019 at 09:33 PM.. |

My car is a 2011 BMW 128i. I have coded a few things already, but having an issue I can't get sorted.
I just upgraded my factory halogens to Depos V2 Angel Eyes. I have searched everywhere including the net, but have not been able to configure them as daytime running lights when the light switch is in "auto" or all the way to the left. I have accomplished having it setup so that they come on when the park lights are on without the corners like Euro-Style lights....but not without having to turn the switch to park. When I set it to use the angel eyes as DRL's, it immediately turns my high-beam halogen light at a lower voltage back on which I had turned off with the "stalk" since I don't have I-Drive. Is it possible with this tool? I've already coded a few things with success, but can't seem to get this one part down. I guess I could always just flip the light switch to the park position, but have seen others that had that feature without having to do so. Maybe the depos rings are wired into a different feature although I've tried corner lights and turn signal lights to see if that may affect them. Thanks for any guidance. |

I do see +SBPR now showing in the vehicle order once for CAS and twice in the FRM. Is there a menu location to check and see if the SPBR coding worked?

Had already coded DVD in motion and a few other small things. My car is a 2011 E93 with combox and 6fl. Today I coded in bluetooth music and phone, which I did not have, and BMW assist with text messages and email function as well as internet tethering. Everything is working well, just haven't had time to figure out the tethering to my note 9 yet. In short, changed VO's, build date to 03/11 and default coded cic and combox. I was having an issue getting things to stick using the bluetooth OBD2 module, but switched to the Bimmergeeks cable and all was good!
The more I use Protool the more I love the app and find it easy for a novice. Great work Bimmergeeks!

I just bought my new to me E90 2007 328i. My first BMW. I am kind of excited and it drives nicely.
I installed LED for low beam, high beam, some interior and license plate. Can the Pro Tool code to not check all the bulbs? |

Thank you.
I have LED high beam (DRL) and it will turn on for about 30 seconds after the car is started. The high beam won't work until the next time I restart the car and only worked for about 30 seconds as DRL. I am hoping to code it so everything works and there is no error on the dash. |

As for the issue you describe, sorry I have no idea. I doubt that's a coding issue. From my understanding, the disabling of bulb check is to prevent the flashing of the LED lights. |
