Which adapter do you have please?

As I was thinking of buying original Carly when they had 25% off.

I have this one, purchased in 2014:

Amazon

It is no longer available, apparently, but it's the same as any of the other generic WIFI OBD adapters.

The parameters I changed using the generic OBD scanner pertained to the body, ie bulb checking, daytime driving lights, dock unlocking, etc. Other engine control functions may or may not work with the generic device I would be surprised if something didn't work.

Bimmer code

Well I bought Bimmercode App for $54; the codes are gone and also the flicker. the good think I wrote to the lights supplier HIKARI on amazon and they offer to pay for this :

KaTur 2pcs 50W 8ohm H13 Load Resistor LED Xenon Headlight Turn Signal Light Fog Light Anti-Flicker Warning Error Cancellor Capacitor, Bulbs - Amazon Canada

, a resistor. I wrote back and asked to help to pay for the Bmmercode app instead and they accepted the pay half of the app cost. I think it was a good deal.
