BT Cable on N55

Does anyone know if the BT cables work on the N55 cars yet? I have been searching for this and tried to contact BT but don't have any answer.

Thanks for any help anyone can offer!!

By support, do you mean just running codes? Yes, the BT works on my n55 for this. But, I was not able to do any real time data logging, and did not see any event information (or maybe didn't throw a code that recorded an event?). Contacted BT after realizing this, and was told the n55 is not supported.

Last I checked, the BT can only reliably read and clear codes. And the codes that are read and displayed do not have the correct definitions/descriptions. Or at all.

As for actual value datalogging, most of the useful channels don't read correctly either. The conversions are off.

I know BMS has the proper files. Perhaps BT is just preventing you from getting them?

And everyone else? Sounds like a likely move Btw, we have already worked out all the useful actual value conversions. Which is why the n55 procede can datalog properly.

Mike, is there a way to export a list of codes and their definitions/descriptions for the n55? That would be really helpful for the community.

I contacted BT last night and they said the BT cable currently does not support 2011 models, not sure what would be different.

It reads codes off my X5... Although as shiv stated, their are some to little no description to the codes it is reading. Also seeing how BT doesn't have the 2011 models loaded, you have to use one the N54 cars as a start point for the 2011's... (Ie Using an N54 X6 as the base for reading codes on a N55 X5).
