What have you coded with Carly

You need to purchase 2 things.
1. The connector that goes into the port in the car. From amazon
2. The app for your phone. From the App Store
 
I can only speak about mine. I have an iPhone. Might be different for android.
It's not done by Bluetooth but wifi. Wifi network comes from the adaptor

Hi Tomsdad

Thanks for the reply, its all done via Bluetooth then, no cables needed then ?

Checked carly's website last night, cable only for e85/86 on Android, but WiFi works with Apple. Bluetooth on e89

there are third party carly adapters on ebay for £20. if it doesn't work i imagine paypal would sort you out with a refund.

Looks like I need to add some things to mine.
But as regards the comfort entry I can't see the value. Am I missing something? Why does the window open help you in tight spaces

as you can bend your body around the doorframe. so the top of your torso is where the window normally is?

Try it, it DOES make it a lot easier to get in from a tight space.

Does Comfort Entry not move the chair? On mine, it moves the chair all the way back and when I put the key in the ignition, it puts it back in my normal position. But that is on a Porker ...

Worth getting pro, or does lite do the coding still?

AFAIK, the lite is just to test that it works with your interface & car, and doesn't actually let you do anything with it.

You can sometimes use an existing diagnostic cable you might have. I downloaded the pro app and tried it with my BM Cables silver cable and a mini usb adapter I got with my samsung and it worked, saves quite a bit if you have an old diagnostic cable lying around.
 
I'd never heard of Carly until this thread so |I just had a quick look at their site and it's not exactly clear what would/would not work on my 2003 3.0i..

Has anyone else with a pre-facelift model tried using the app?

I'm also confused by "GM5" and "CVM" are and the website isn't a great deal of help
 
I'm quite tempted by Carly. In terms of diagnostics, how comprehensive it is? I have an engine light which I'd like to investigate - are there other cheap/DIY systems that would give me more?
 
Coded a few things on my '03 3.0i including:
roof operation from keyfob and operational while moving
audible lock conf
headlight wash every third screen wash for 3 seconds
all segments brake light
passenger window one touch
roof closes on rain sensor if stopped
satnav converts into jokemachine on mood-sense
satnav directs me to nando's on weightloss detection via seatbelt seatpad
:lol:
but seriously, carlys' live paramenters function has helped me diagnose and fix an overheating issue.
still interesting to use it to keep an eye on 'real' live engine/oil/coolant temps.
ios + wifi dongle here.

Thanks Chris - I've found the USB cable I need on Amazon so I'll order that as on Prime it'll arrive tomorrow, I'll give it a go on the weekend then :-)

Really appreciate the feedback :-)
 
my phone has the new USB input USB-C or USB type C

so i can't use my phone. I suppose I could dig out my 4 year old tablet if i can remember where it is. i'd also need to get the bluetooth version for the wifes car. disappointing there isn't a 1 solution fits all
