Carly app for 335i n55

Rialas · 11-11-2015, 07:23 AM

Has anyone had any experience with this app and their wifi dongle as a scan tool for resetting codes.
Reliable?
Thanks

Haven't used the Wi-Fi dongle. I registered my new battery and coded comfort features using an Amazon K+CAN cable. Once you set the communication speed right it's pretty solid.

Thanks, I presume you use the cable with a laptop?
I Just wanted something simple to possibly use with an iPhone app.

No, I used the Android Carly App. Micro USB to female USB

I use Android via BT adapter..have coded mirrors to fold with fob, disable seat belt chime, increased angel eye, brightness and open and close windows and sunroof with fob.

Thanks everyone. So you're generally happy with the app, just need to be sure it's also ok with the iPhone.

app works great i have it

Rialas · 11-11-2015, 12:57 PM

Great, ordered the wifi dongle. It's got good reviews.

I use the wifi adapter from them and have been very happy with it. It's a little finicky when you're in range of a known wifi signal (i.e. In the garage still in range of the home wifi). If you forget the known wifi signal and reconnect to Carley it is solid.

It works on Minis too. I use the same app for our Mini Cooper.

One thing I didn't see the app would do, but I would love it, does it get rid of the Nav warning that pops up every time you start the car?

orteeze · 11-12-2015, 12:36 PM

I couldn't find that option either..

No it does not do that..but it is in the works, however you then have to purchase a different bt adapter. Not sure I like that.

Quick delivery. I'll give it a try tomorrow.

That one is the generation 2 one that is supposed to work with idrive functions such as disable warning and enable dvd while,driving.

So will it not work with mine. Because it's giving me problems right now. It worked with the lite app, and said your vehicle is compatible, and to download the full version of the app which I did.
Now no communication.

Try uninstalling and re-installing.

Thanks. Yes, I've managed to connect.
I found some fault codes, which I'll reset and hopefully they won't come back. Presume they are from when my chargepipe split.

Super knocking?

Well, I managed to connect and got some readings, and also managed a reset,
Went for a drive, tried to reconnect, but nothing.

Best part of 3 hours wasting my time trying to make this thing connect.
Tried absolutely everything.
I feel like throwing it in the trash. Don't want to do any damage to my ecu.

Have you tried this?

I must admit I didn't try the "forget the known wifi signal".

I unplugged my home wifi router, turned off the Bluetooth, drove away from home to avoid neighbours wifi, deleted reinstalled the app, downloaded the lite app for my Samsung S5 (android needed the Bluetooth dongle), restarted the iPhone, unplugged and reinserted the wifi dongle on the obd.

I tried all the above 10+ times.

I'll try again tomorrow, deleting the known wifi from my phone.
Cheers.
