Good video thanks and well done for not over selling it. I see a lot of youtubers really pushing to sell it and you didn't so appreciate that.

[Danielm]

I greatly appreciate your reply and information

Carly isn't that great for the money and always seems to show fault codes that aren't present in other software. Plus it operates on an auto renew annual subscription buried in the terms and conditions that you have to agree to. They give you no notice when it's up for renewal and customer support is awful. Especially at trying to get my money back!

Good to know about subscription fee.None of the reviews I watched mentioned that😮

@The bimmer fixer Thanks for the informative video. Definitely food for thought!

Carly is a rip-off. No refunds and they hide the fact that it's subscription-based. Deceptive advertising, sketchy business practices, no refunds, questionable value/functionality vs a standalone OBD2 scanner.

Will this allow me to retract the piston on an electronic parking brake? BMW X1 xdrive

I got this a few months back if you have a Seat don't bother. Customer service answer questions with questions and then offer you a 20% refund. Brought up 16 codes on my 2year old car most of them serious enough for me to take it to the main dealer and the dealer scanned and zero faults found. Kept asking me for logs which I kept sending and just more questions I'd already answered. Tried coding 3 Seats and not one would code with carly only the lap timer. Carly told me Seats and Vw's are notoriously hard to code and at this point I asked for a refund to which I was told no

Hello, I just found your video 👍 would you know what coding are available for 2024 X1 .
I had 2023 x 1 but was returned as a lemon for many electronics issues I had all the my modes for about a year but on this new one after a software update I lost my modes left only with three and now I have to pay monthly fee which think is not right bit disappointed with bmw about that

[NordicAdvRider]

To me it’s not worth the money. I bought one last year and it was not possible to do such thing as register a new battery in a e66. That’s a very basic function that should work. Also take into account that the fee is annual. Not just a onetime cost.

I received this unit today after seeing it recommended by Mat Armstrong. I got it specifically to activate watching video on the TFT display whilst parked, a function which Mat said it could do. I have watched many vids on YouTube about Carly‘s functionality, and none mentioned freeing up the screen to watch video content. Can you do this with Carly? Thanks 👍

Would this allow me to activate rear fog lights for EU? I have moved my North American x3 G01 to Spain and I need to activate the rear fog lights. I also have to turn off the front orange lights that come on when the car is running. Any possible insight on these issues?

[WorivpuqloDMogh]

Can it remove a speed limiter? Apparently my car is limited at 180km/h. The previous model could go top speed on the autobahn.

[Termi-Motovlogs]

What do you think of Bimmer Code / Link / Tool?
I find their one off payment is a nice touch over Carly's monthly sub. Would you be able to do a comparison about these if you have them all, compared to Carly.
Many thanks.

Can you update your car software to the latest with this device?

[philipberry]

I understand they auto-renew a yearly fee of £120 or more. They charge every year and you cannot get a refund.

[themusiccoaches]

I keep hearing that Bimmer Code is better than Carly, however, Bimmer Code doesn't appear to support my 2005 BMW Z4. :-( Seems that Carly is the only choice....

Does anyone know if you buy Carly WITH Smart Mechanic, can you delete it when you renew so you just pay for the coding subscription?

[dumylory]

why i can.t clear faults?i did the diag and after clear faults buttont dont show....just to rescan diag...

[acecin]

I've had a negative experience with Carly, and the fact that they keep charging for their device usage is disappointing. It might be more cost-effective to go for a traditional car scan tool.

[BanStalker]

Vlinker mc+ and Car Scanner app for 10 usd for pro will destroy all known software hardware, carly thinkdiag mini etc in this level. Carly is one more way to take your money exactly as the launch start level adapters.
