Plenty of members on here with carly, could see about getting someone else to code in some stuff?
Doors lock when drive away
Indicate three times on push
Brake light fully on, not progressive
Angel eyes permanently on
I think that's all I coded in, I haven't had to use it for fault checking, not worth the money in my opinion

As a user of both it’s horses for courses..Carly offers the option of instant roadside checks and twiddles without having to boot a windows pc and a less than benign user interface...on the other hand you can do more geeky things with the laptop option..
Carly protects the average user from doing most dumb things ...
Your opinions may vary...

They've modified it to "prefer" the wireless dongles, which for E85's and the like is a pain.. I think they have stopped selling the "genuine" wired interfaces too.
Also, it's now an annual subscription service, whereas it used to be a one off. However if you purchased before the cutoff date, you now get ALL of the "extras" that you previously had to pay for FOC.

I bought Carly before the cutoff date after discovering I couldn’t get carsoft (which was pretty good with my old e36) to work with the e85
The WiFi dongle lives in my car and I found it easy to use for diagnosis and a few coding options
I recently had an airbag light after I pulled my door panel apart without disconnecting the battery. Carly identified the error but couldn’t clear it - I had to use inpa for that
So far I coded
- One touch passenger window
- Comfort open/close for windows and roof from the key
- visual & audio alerts for locking & unlocking
- full donut brake lights
Along with a few other things I can’t remember right now
I also used it to do a check on a car my gf was interested in - it can evaluate if any modules have been tampered with

DRL's
Visual alert (lights) for lock/unlock
Turned off chime for key in ignition when door open
3 flash indicator (perfect for exiting roundabouts)
Wipers finish cycle if ignition turned off
Have also used it to check a car I was interested in, and to help diagnose a coil pack fault on a workmate's E60.
It has more than paid for itself - I bought it before the subscription model was introduced.
I also have INPA/NCS dummies for more in depth stuff, but as Pbondar mentioned, Carly is a lot easier to use and works for 99% of the 'normal' things you'd want to code/diagnose.
