Not done coding before - just had a look at the Carly App, do you have lite or pro and please can you let me know how you bypassed the bulb error? Any other advice on using the app would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks, Jon |
Fairly straightforward to fit. Lift the boot and remove the carpet panel that covers the inside. The bulbs are push fit into a 'twist to secure' fixing, if that makes sense. It's a little bit fiddly but not difficult.
The ones on the link look better than the ones I have.
As anissue with mine is that at certain angles you can just about make out the yellow colour to the SMDs. But that is being hyper critical.
I have the pro version, with the gen 2 adaptor (Bluetooth for android).
Get the lite first to confirm it works though. I have it setup on a cheap tablet I bought at Tesco but used to use it on my phone until I went iPhone. It's very simple to use. Some of my friends also have BMWs so i let them use it as they like and they love how easy it is to add things to their cars. Beware it's not as comprehensive as manual coding but Carly create regular updates and their F-series coding is growing quickly.
The only other thing is payback, if you buy the adaptor (try amazon for best price) then the app (App Store, free updates etc) and a phone/tablet to run it on its expensive. Especially as it may work out cheaper to do it yourself and buy the cable for your laptop and get the software for free. Or even get a cable and a coding expert to remotely code for you. But Carly is a much easier option.
Also, think about if you want wifi/apple version or Bluetooth/android version.
I went Bluetooth as I used the adaptor for other things in my old car like DIY HUD and the torque app is really good. The wifi module looked bulky and would mean I can't connect to the internet simultaneously.
Hopefully that helps
