HOW TO CODE YOUR BMW AT HOME | Hidden Features, Diagnostics, Live Gauges 

Guys be careful with Carly. If you code too many things at one time, it'll fry the module you're modifying. I know by experience. Code one item at a time!! It'll take forever, but don't do them all at one time. You'll be sorry and walking 'cause your car will be fried. Use Carly with caution...lots of caution. It's a good product for amateurs, but don't be confident with it. It's not reliable and if something goes wrong, Carly will blame you, not them. Good video as always Justin. I just wanted to add my experience with this unit. Thanks bro.

You really are the true advocate in bmw community! Your channel is really making me enjoy driving my bimmer 😎

I did a full video on the bimmercode app, but never realize how many more features carly has. Great video bro.

Carly pretty expensive for me in Canada but i'll grab for your commission :)

Great man, I’ve used Carly since 2018 on my 2010 -E90. Terrific product!!

Great and useful video! I've got an e92, love it! I've been thinking of getting one these, nice timing! I'll hit your link, as your videos have helped me in the past working on my car. Keep up the great work!

Helpful video especially w.r.t. the code one feature at a time! Would love to see some specific coding before / after. Also if you change your battery, registering / coding it would be a popular add for the BMW community!

Crazy, I was literally in the process of ordering this when the notification for this video came up lol I started over and used your link 😏

i drive a 2006 325i..every time i watch your vid im learning..fyi..bought my carly 3 months ago and it was helpful..thanks for this vid..keep it up..

Keep up the content man! Love it!

Sounds great! I am all new to beemers and have gotten myself a 2017 F30. I have a question: if I am to perform oil and filters or brake pads changes, can I write it in the car's service journal like the dealers have been doing? Thanks!

Just got mine & wow so easy to use.

Thanks for your video, really insightful. However would you recommend anything similar to Carly for Australia? Or would the same Carly model work here?

Hi Justin, Once again thank you for your informative vid on the Carly adaptor, would I still be able to access all parameters on my 2005 BMW e90 330i non idrive?

I love your channel man i get all my diy from you

Hey Justin, I just fixed one of my headlights because I had the "lazy eye" and I saw the little spot where you change the bulb for the angel eyes. Your rings are so white and I envy them! Do you have the LUX model? I'm really interested in them after seeing how easy it is once you have the headlight in hand. I have a 328xi 2009 LCI with xenons. Thank you for your help and I really enjoy watching your videos.

Thanks man. Thank you !

do you know how to use the expert mode ?! i have it activated in my app but for the life of me cannot find the "expert" codes :((

I’m really thinking about getting Carly, I just want to be 100% sure it’s safe for my car & if it’s actually going to help me.

Love your DYI channel what can you tell me about footwell module ? I was told a dealership has to replace it

Is this going to work as good as a snap on obd ? I can clear tech codes like the auto body shop or is it just like a regular OBD?

Ordered my carly sunday and woke up with it on my front porch! This video came out at the perfect time.

Awesome video 👍

Can you turn the halo LEDs into daytime running lights with this?

I bought a Carly because of you Justin but I can't seem to do much with it. I can't get rid of my adaptive headlights warning and I can't change my water pump speed and just in general it doesn't do that much

If I use this would I still need a canbus system for my led lights or would this work without if I code the lights?

i just subscribed and will be purchasing the plug and software ..awesome ..

Will this app unscrew limp mode on. 2006 Z4 3.0i sport/auto? I had some road debris find the opening to the transmission pan and pretty much cracked it in half. I’ve replaced the pan and got fluid in it but it’s just not cooperating.

Hey man, awesome video. Just wanted to know if I can order it from Malaysia?

For anyone who is scared of doing this like me, don't be! Just follow the instructions and stick to standard options. MY TIPS: 1. Leave engine on when coding, then restart car once told so to re-write module. 2. Code things one at a time. DON'T make 2 changes before writing. 3. Go airplane mode w/ bluetooth connection. 4. You can share with friends! Only need to buy one account and dongle. Works on multiple cars, meaning you can split the cost with someone like I did.

Thank you Good information

can you use carly to reprogram an abs module?

Critical! Can you use Carly to Register a replacement module in the car? as all modules are vin locked

Hello Justin have you seen this error , saying failed coding . I’m having problems coding the comfort access features . I think I may be having intermittent issues with my key access but I somehow cannot code the CAS portion . Any help would be appreciated, thanks again. Keep up the great work bro

Hi how are you i replaced the led light but the indicator light is a lot fast

If you have the money and dont want to hustle too much then I suppose Carly is fine. But if you really want access to your car then a K+DCAN Cable and ISTA D, INPA and NCS Expert are way more powerful tools.

Forgot to ask do you need to turn the switch to turn on the DRL or you can leave it on auto mode?

Can this adapter program the abs/dtc module ? I have a replacement and the p/n doesnt match

Bought Carly because of this video and can’t express how disappointing the whole experience was, even more so the customer service, absolutely shocking. Also, beware if you buy the app license through Carly direct, there are strictly no refunds. If you buy the bundle (scanner+app license) to get discount, they get you to download the app asap and knowing that you have to wait for the scanner to arrive (mine arrived in about a week) before you can test everything out, they know you’re screwed if it doesn’t work because STRICTLY NO REFUNDS! (F31 2012 320d)

How do you code a new LCI headlight assembly to have the DRL (halos) on? I installed a new passenger headlight assembly with one new DRL and adaptive module. The rest of the modules are original.

Hopefully you able to see this question, or someone else could answer aswell Wouldn't using it as cooling gauges parameters mess with the computer in any way? like, is it safe to use leave the obd on and just take if off when the car is turn off. Hopefully it wont confuse the ecu in anyway or throw some random code

am planning to buy a scanner tool so i can see some specific bmw codes like 12B801. can carly scan all specific bmw codes or ANCELBM700 scanner tool.?

Hi can this Carly tune ,tell my car to turn on my fan motor at a lower temperature ?? I just did the oil temperature thermostat upgrade on my car & now I need 2 tell my cars brain 2 turn on fan at lower temps

I actually might get a Carly, sounds better than a OBDII!

I install SRS control unit and need coding on my E90 BMW can Carly do that before i buy it i just like to know

Hey Justin I went to order this from your link and after I got into the order it offered me anther package. so my question is before I order what package do I need to get EVERYTHING it offers for my BMW X5?...

Is your light switch in auto or parking to activate angel eyes on daytime?

is it possible to code out adaptive headlight code with carly?

Do I have to purchase the app separately or does it come with the scan tool?

Justin,08 BMW 328i every light works except my right low beam/ hi beam due to frayed internal wires. I replaced the entire assembly but the power to the relay is disabled for safety. Will Carly enable me to reset the relay. Please reply

JB-The best Carly for BMW video I have seen thank. I realize it’s 2 years ago, but I have a question that Carly cannot figure out. On my Carly dashboard it shows km for my e92 M3 instead of miles. I’ve changed the units to “imperial” in setting and re-scanned the car, did live data, scanned the OBD L, and did a used car check. It’s still in km. Been back/forth with Carly support for weeks. Nothing works. Any idea on how to change km to miles on the Carly dashboard. Other than this headache, I have been happy with it-especially coding.

Does the Carly Adapter allow to code the M logo onto the idrive boot screen?

Can you replace the battery on a e90 and register it with Carly?

Hi, will this work for f30 2013 3218i?

where can i buy this carly adaptor am from india help me out please

maybe you can help me i changed the cluster in my 2011 328 bmw with 126k miles the new cluster had 160k now when i put old cluster back in car it still says 160 k miles

Can I coding (add) aux in my BMW E60? If yes, how?

i just bought e92 335i and i dont know what to buy carly or mhd or bimmercode or what

can i use it on multiple cars?

Great Video - I'm between Carly and Bimmercode. Lots of bashers of Carly, but since I have an 07, probably the examples that you showed will be applicable to my vehicle. Any thoughts on the 2, one over the other on 06/07 E90? Thanks.

Glad to see you're still well in these times !

Can you code in welcome lights on pre lci e90?

So cool man.

it is possible code comming home on e90 2006/12 ? thanx

Great video! Could this erase airbag error? My airbag is deployed and I want to erase the error via coding

What kind of headlights are those?

I just order the adapter 4 days ago🥺

nice job

Can you code out adaptive headlights with carly?

my frm module makes my lights not work. can it fit this problem>\

Fan of your channel....but I'm a MHD player though 🤷🏻‍♂️

Keep up the awesome work bro just got my e90 after watching your channel for years. My Carly just arrived using the link you the goat 🐐

How much does a Curly coat. Where do by them

Will this work if I'm in new Zealand?

why is it a different price on website, i used your link but it says 79.90$ ?

Does it need carly own ODB adapter?

I have a 2008 328i E93. It has odd items disabled. I think Carly might work. GREAT VIDEO

are there any alternatives to Carly?

justin, I bought my carly adapter in 2017 for my e92 and my wifes e60 and it's great. I'm really happy that you went from being a carly user like me to someone who actually got to work with them 👍 back then I paid my one of fee for the software and thankfully when they moved to a paid subscription that one of fee allowed me a lifetime of carly use. one big thing for my e60 was powefold mirrors, when the car locked them mirrors wouldnt, you would have to hit the button inside, even the dealer couldn't help, I code this with carly so that when you hold down the lock button the mirrors fold in, super usefull for car parks. also my wifes e60 is a diesel car and the ability to force a diesel particle filter regeneration through carly saved the dpf on out car! very expensive to replace and I didn't want it gutted. just for this feature alone I would pay an annual subscription, it's much less than a visit to the garage. then you've have handy health checks and the coding is so much fun 😁 anyway keep up the great content brother 👍

i was going to have my mechanic purchase and install a battery but now i'm thinking the price of carly and a 1 yr sub will be the same price as the labor and i will have carly.

Weird!! I just spend an hour yesterday convincing my wife I needed one of these for my 08 535i.

I jus bought a 2007 BMW 328i series 3. The little orange light is staying on even after car is turned off n key is out, what does this mean? Do u know by chanc???

Quick justin. I'm making a car video with some friends. Any way you can make a video with tips and tricks on edit it and such?

Hey has anyone managed to code their halos so that they come on when you unlock the car?

What about adaptive headlight

So Justin, you so you can turn the disclaimer off, but we will play a video while driving?

Do you think is better than ISTA/P or is just for basic diagnostics?

You guys know anything about the BimmerTech CarPlay retrofit thing? Looking into it for my 2013 BMW but not sure :)

Is setting DRL/Ángel eye brightness to max bad for the leds?

Eyyyy he actually made the Carly video

Yo I just bought a used ccc and everything works on my idrive but I have no audio. I had audio before I replaced my ccc. I replaced it because it was turning on and off. Anyway how can I code the ccc to have audio.

Where can you track your package?

Thanks so much for continuing to put out informative videos. Q: will carly app on an Android phone work with other OBDII readers? I have been using an OBDII reader with Torque app and I don't think it gives bad data (today it's a P0670 code evidently for a glow plug monitor unit). Is the OBDII reader generic or specific to the software?

I just got my first car and its a 2006 BMW 330xi any suggestions on maintenance?

Hey Justin what if your e90 doesn’t start will it be able to tell me if the ibs or alt or battery are bad ? obviously it won’t start has aftermarket battery assuming it could be coding issues -please help if you can….

You don't have Homelink?
