I would like to buy the Carly kit but it says the default android adapter doesnt work with the Z4, can someone tell me what i need to buy?

Also is there a cheaper cable and laptop software available i dont have to use bluetooth and an app i am technically advanced with computers and programming./

I got a c110 but it doesn’t seem to connect to the modules. Tried it on two cars it’s supposedly compatible with... so I wouldn’t bother looking at a c110

There's a Bluetooth adatper that works with the Z4 and Android for Carly.

I have one myself.

There was also a link posted somewhere on here for a link to a download for other software that works with the Bcables cables.

I use EasyBMWTools, https://mega.nz/#!kAASwa7I!AJLVnnEBwLgz ... ofE-TBYGmk, it's free, it's the full suite:

- Inpa 5.0.6 (with English script files & Support for F-series)
- EDIABAS 7.3.0
- NCS Expert (with English menus and buttons, and NCS Dummy Profile pre-installed)
- NCS Dummy 4.0.1
- Tool32 4.0.3
- WinKFP 5.3.1
- Integrated SP-DATEN v53.3
- BMW Coding Tool v2.5.0 (for use as an alternative to NCS Dummy, or to update DATEN files as new ones become available)
- USB Drivers for cable

It does everything.

That's a great link (that probably won't last long on here)!

Many of us are familiar with INPA, but do you have any information what the primary uses of the other software are:

- Inpa 5.0.6
- EDIABAS 7.3.0
- NCS Expert
- NCS Dummy 4.0.1
- Tool32 4.0.3
- WinKFP 5.3.1
- Integrated SP-DATEN v53.3

MaINCH, what cable are you using for INPA?

I have the C110 and also the PA Soft cable + software (just off ebay). Both work fine for my pre-facelift. C110 reads and clears my errors and gets most live data.

The PA Soft is able to read and clear codes in more detail and also do some checkbox programming (roof down/up with key etc, DRL, cold/hot check on bulbs if you're doing LEDs etc).
