Pretty sure that you can’t use a USB-to-ethernet adapter, either.Ĭan code new injectors in the BMW 2010 335iĬan Re-program the Speed Governor on 2011 e90 328i LCI model, vin WBAPH7C52BE852716…please note: Performance software is required to manipulate top speed limiters.Ĭan perform a throttle actuator adaptation on an e92 M3 after replacment If your laptop doesn’t have an ethernet/RJ45 connector, you’ll need to find a device that does. It won’t recognize BT at all – at least, I’ve not been able to make it do so. E-Sys looks for a connection via the ethernet port on your laptop. Actually, the Carly adapter is Bluetooth. No more sitting in the car searching for the feature to be coded while the engine’s idling. Apparently the new “network” and whatever read/write protocol that implies is far different than the CANbus of the E-series cars.īy comparison, E-Sys has improved vastly over the past year or two and coding both my F30 and the wife’s new F23 was relatively easy, particularly since you can save the coding data, disconnect, take the computer inside to do the modifications on a copy of the saved data, then reconnect and push the data back using the modified file. Not quite sure what the problem is with the F-cars, because the principle is the same – read coding data, modify, write coding data. I used Carly for my wife’s previous E88 128 convertible and it worked great – no having to do one item at a time, etc. If you want something you can just leave plugged in and read codes or just log if you feel like it, it would seem Carly is the way to go.įor quick reference I have the dongle in my car and my phone is always in my pocket, for more detailed scanning I like the Foxwell NT510 scan tool over app based tools. Coding and serious diagnostics should always be done over a wire in my opinion. Look here: Foxwell NT510 BMW function listīoth are great tools, depends upon what you’re looking for. even when compared to other wifi based iOS OBD apps I like the fact that Carly can do simple coding but in general i’m not a fan of their interface and their connection is pretty bad…. The interface and connection is also a lot better than Carly. It also has a lot more functionality i terms of DIYs since it can do resets/adaptations If you had a tricky fault i’d say you have a much better chance of pinpointing it with the Foxwell tool. It has a lot more functionality in terms of reading live data, freeze frame data, activating individual components to check for faults etc. It’s a lot better in terms of diagnostics. The Foxwell can read OBD codes from any car and also do specific vehicle operations to BMW / Mini / Rolls. I don’t think it can code injectors though… at least I haven’t been able to find a way. So what would be the difference between Foxwell NT510 multi-system scannerand Carly app in terms of diagnostics? I know coding wise there are pros and cons between them.Ĭarly can read and clear codes, also can register batteries at $15 a pop.
