BMWhat App: What have you coded?
I got the app a few days ago. What have you coded? What would you like to see the developers add?
I coded my front position lights (where the fog lights would be) to run as drl's
I set the car to unlock doors when engine off and key removed.
I'd like them to add coding for the audio system so I can plug my iPhone into the USB port and music will play without connecting the auxiliary in as well.

Here's what I've done so far: Windows up on locking Digital Speedometer correction One-touch turn signal function from 3 to 5 Unlock car when turned off DRL - Hi Beams set to low brightness (I'm thinking that I'll switch this to the front position lights when I upgrade to LED's)

I've done a bunch of stuff so far, there is probably more that I'm forgetting:
Flashers blink at double speed
Headlights and fogs on at same time
Digital speedo in tach with speed correction
5x blinkers
Extended the welcome home and "leaving" home times to 90 seconds
Welcome home and leaving to include low beams and rear fog
Coded out bulb errors for LED license plate and reverse light
One remote push unlocks all doors, another opens the drivers window
Windows open/close on lock/unlock w/ remote
The only one I can't get to work is the folding mirrors upon lock and unlock...

While I haven't installed the panel and toggle, I was able to code the fog light to come on when I unlock the car, so I don't think it should be a problem for it to work. Have you tried coding the rear fog (after installing the panel/toggle) and not had luck?

1. You need the BMWhat app. There is a "lite" version that is free, it wont code but it is a good way to be sure you can connect your car to the app. The full version of the app is about $45. I got the free version for iOS in the app store and once I was able to connect to my car, I installed the full version. I know you can get it for Android too, but I dont know where to get Android apps since I dont have one.
2. You need what is called a "dongle". A dongle is basically a wifi (for iOS) or a Bluetooth (for Android) version of a traditional cord that would be used by an OBDII scan tool. The dongle plugs into your OBDII port and then send a signal for your phone/ipad/etc. to communicate with.
2a. You have some options for the dongle.
Option 1: A fully supported dongle, for either android or iOS can be bought from carly directly via there amazon store (for US customers) for about $75. This dongle is fully supported by the vendor and should work for every model they advertise.
The iOS dongle link is:
Amazon.com: Original Carly for BMW Wifi Adapter Generation 2 Iphone and Ipad - Best App for BMW: Automotive
The bluetooth version should also be in the related products section too, if you have an android device.
Option 2: A generic dongle for anywhere from $15-40. Some features or car models wont be able to connect (if you buy a generic one, I recommend trying the lite version of the app to ensure you can connect). I bought this one from ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/200911500498?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT). It worked great on my R55, but on my e46 and e90, it wouldnt connect so I ended up getting the iOS version in the link in option 1.
Side note, I'd sell my generic dongle that worked on the r55 (and r56) since I have the fully supported version.
3. Once you have the dongle and full version of the app, connection is simple, for my iphone i did the following:
- turn on airplane mode
- plug dongle into obd2 port
- turned on wifi (or BT if android)
- connected to wifi network created by dongle (the naming of the network was easy to figure out)
- opened app
- selected car from list
- clicked connect
- clicked coding
- coded modules that were available
note: the app makes a backup of the module so if you have troubles, you can restore the module settings from the back up.
4. Here is the list of models and what functions are supported (note, sometimes, all codings may not work but the MAJORITY of them do):
http://support.mycarly.com/knowledge..._campaign=home
good luck and if you decide to go through with this, let us know if you have any questions.
5. if anyone is in the Connecticut area and isnt up for the cost of the app or is intimidated to try coding their car, I would be happy to code away for a few pennies - PM me for details.

Dongle
Does the iPhone need to be jailbroken for the generic eBay dongle to work?
The eBay listing says it does...
Thanks!
