Coding with 'Carly for BMW' (North West, UK)

Post by edg3 » Wed Jun 15, 2016 6:17 pm

I've recently purchased the official Carly for BMW cable (£30) and the Android app (£40).

Quite expensive!

However I've so far coded the following into my ///M
  • Selective unlock
    Pressing unlock once unlocks the drivers door, press it again to unlock the passenger door as well
  • Comfort indicators
    Indicators flash 3 times instead of once; can be cancelled by pushing in the opposite direction
  • Close roof using key
    When the roof is closed I could put it down using the key, but not up; now I can which is useful when putting it back in the garage!
There are other things I'm going to enable, like the automatic door locking above a certain speed etc.

As I spent quite a bit of money on this (and it works on loads of BMWs, not just the ///M) I was thinking it might be fair to offer it out to other people for a small fee (say £5 or £10) to help recoup some of the cost; and save others having to spend the full £70 for this setup.

Does this sound fair? Would anyone be interested (I live in Chester)? Am I even allowed to suggest this on the forum?

Was tempted to get the setup myself but would likely only use it the once so getting someone who already has it to do it for me would be a better option, but I'm in Huddersfield so would be best part of £40 in fuel to do it so just not worth it...

Was actually speaking to my mate about going halves on the kit which would actually work out cheaper...

Maybe you could bring it along to one of the forum run outs will probably be a few people want bits doing assuming it is pretty quick...

Yep I'll bring it along to any meets (there's one in Shropshire this weekend I was thinking it heading to for a nosy).

I was impatient so bought it outright, but figured if anyone was nearby I might as well offer it out (agree not worth it if there's too much distance involved!).

FYI I've got this in the Southwest (cornwall) if anyone down this way wants any coding doing - fairly sure I won't be competing with the OP given our locations! :p

E89 owners it can add folding mirrors to the door locking sequence which is a must have, I did it yesterday amongst a host of other 'nice to have' stuff :thumbsup:

Hi,

I was just wondering if you still have this and would be able to code the enhanced Bluetooth to my 320d? It has all the required hardware and I'm only in Northwich?

Thanks,

Ben

That's a great question Blutak, especially for those who aren't in the know, like myself.

Assume it can only add folding mirrors if you have the electronic button on the side to open / close the wing mirrors?

I'm not too far from you - I am looking at a couple of things such as opening / closing the roof when driving and the wing mirrors but not sure that is compatible with my car.
