I am looking at purchasing the Carly app and adapter but need a little information. My cooper is currently programmed to do the following:

1) One touch sunroof. Press switch once to crack open, press again to completely open. Same happens in reverse, press once to go from completely open to cracked, then again to completely close.

2) With comfort access installed: When key is turned off, unlock all doors. When button on outside of door handle is pressed once, all doors unlock.

I need to know if carly can program these features since I can not seem to find them their website.

I would also be using it to register a new battery.

Thanks.

 

The bimmercode app with the required adaptor is much less expensive and has the capability to do more. I had the Carly app and could never get it to work right for me. Amazon refunded the $75 for the adaptor, but I had to eat the cost of the app. Bimmercode app + adaptor is cheaper that the Carly adaptor alone. Not saying you should buy one over the other, but wanted you to know there was another app option. This is the adaptor I bought that works with iPhone/iPad. YMMV

I did the original programming with the actual BMW software and an ODBII dongle, still have all that, severe pain in the rear to use. This is why I am looking at the Carly solution as I heard it was very easy to use. I am getting too old and impatient to do it the PITA way.

The Bimmercode looks good, but does not mention the R60 so is pretty much useless to me.

Understood. I've had a Windows based laptop and cable sitting on my desk for 8 months now that I bought just for coding. All my stuff is Apple. Never bothered getting into it because it seemed too much hassle for me. Old and impatient here too.
The bimmercode app is like the Carly in that it takes all the most common changes and give them to you as shortcuts that you can just toggle on and off. If you want to get into it more, you can go into "Expert Mode" for no additional cost. I have used both modes with good success. You can download the app for free and check it out in the demo mode. Then, if you like what you see, you can unlock the coding function for $24.95 IIRC.

 

I certainly do not mind trying it but since it only lists F series MINIs, and not even an F60, I assumed it would not work with my R60. Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong.

Ah crap! My mistake. I saw 2015 and didn't see that it was a CM. I don't now if it will work or not. You can contact the guys at bimmercode and ask if you want. They usually answer pretty quickly. Sorry about that.

 

Already sent them a message :-)

 

Talked to Bimmercode, only F series are supported by their app so that won't help me.

 

What did you originally use to get the one touch sunroof. Really wanting this feature for my 2012 CMS...

 

As I just found out at great expense the Carly app wont register a battery for an R60 !

 

i have used my carly app to register a new battery to a friends 2011 R60S

you do know it is an additional purchase?

 

at great expense it WILL register a battery. I have done it on my 2012 R60.

 

It's an extra cost "add on" to enable the battery registration function with Carly. I used it for a new battery install in my 13 MCS.

 

What is the extra cost for the battery coding? Do they have an ala carte menu for each extra?

 

I'll let you know the price when I get home today.

 

it was $5 to add program battery ... you must be too poor to be driving a mini

 

Mine was a $10 add on for Android. I’ve noticed that prices for Carly vary between IOS and Android.

 

On my wife's 2012 countryman i get the message "Function not available for current car"
And the price is another $14 on top of the $75 here in Canada.

 

Did anyone notice they changed the way the app works now? I was about to purchase it last night and it is now a yearly sub at 59.99 a year.
Guess I'll look for an alternative.
