OBD2 Port location JCW F54

Where should I start looking for OBD2 port on JCW F54? I haven't found a discussion on the new version of Clubman. Thanks in advance.

It's up to the right of the left kick panel on the drivers side. If you get down near the pedals and look up and above the kick panel you will see it exposed.

Are you using Carly app on an Android device? Because for IOS I think Bimmercode app is even better with more coding. I'm using it on my F87 and it's perfect and it works also on Mini F5x models.

I've been using the Carly app for IOS. Works well. How much is the Bimmercode?

Here in EU is 29.99 Euro, you have to check on the US Apple store. But I think not more than 30$.

It would be great to get some feedback on your F54 coding experience. I may be looking at doing some on a new F54 in the near future, as well.

So from what I can see the biggest difference is Bimmercode ONLY codes as where Carly does diag and all kinds of other things. Bimmercode has an app called BimmerLink that adds all that stuff for another $26.99 making it the same cost as Carly.

Got the folding mirrors with Carly. One thing I do like with Carly is they do push out updates pretty often that adds functionality...

Yes you can IF your car is equipped with the factory alarm.

Don't need to code it -- it is a user adjustable feature in Settings.

If you don't have the factory alarm you may need to do the fuel cap lock work around that the F56 crowd has figured out -- not sure how, or if it works on the Clubman.
