Very well done useful app.
By morrrittzzzsayenough (Pcmac user)
This is a well supported app for safely coding your BMW. It allows you to safely change and adjust features on your car and ensures the current state is backed up prior to update.
The developer was extremely responsive to my question and is very engaged in adding options to the existing feature set.
I would suggest adding a “basic” mode for the least sophisticated users that hides the underlying structure of which modules you are actually updating, and just lets you check off common functional changes that the end user is likely to want to change.
A sample list would be:
Video in motion
Mirror fold on locking
Sport display
Brake force flashing
Keyfob close rear hatch (x series)
Keyfob close windows/roof
Etc.
Also I found the app doesn’t like to initially communicate with the WiFi obd2 dongle.
If I go into the WiFi and renew the lease once or twice, it then consistently connects to the dongles WiFi existing connection (iPhone 7). I’m assuming this may be able to be tweaked by an app update.

A solid app which does the job, with excellent customer service.
By Mkolber (Pcmac user)
I looked at this app to take care of an issue in my BMW. Even before I bought it, Stephan replied promptly to a number of questions I had about it. Still, I had some trepidation about the whole idea of coding.
Not only is the support excellent, but the app is surprisingly easy to use. I applied the fix I needed, but also ended up tweaking a couple of settings that were minor annoyances in both my car and my wife's Mini.
Definitely worth the price!

Not as useful as it could be
By Yobyot (Pcmac user)
The idea behind this app, and it’s a good one, is that changing options in your BMW should be push-button easy. The alternative until now has been to use a complex, cracked version of BMWs own software to make changes in the cars.
Unfortunately, this app fails to deliver on that vision. For at least some of the the things it offers to change in my car series, the only way to undo them is to restore a backup of the ECU.
This means that if you want to try combinations of settings you must use point-in-time backups to undo some settings while others are simply turned off in the app. IOW, there are two completely separate, unrelated user interaction styles in the app. That’s a problem for users who become responsible for figuring out which backup matches which state of the ECU.
The developer is responsive in email but has indicated he has no plans to fix this in the near term. Until then, you should probably use E-Sys and avoid this app since at least the latter has exactly one user interface, albeit a complicated one. Otherwise you’d better take notes and screenshots of what you did when in the app.

Excellent work.
By DIY mechanic (Pcmac user)
I have done some coding in my BMW F30 and it was easy to use. I turned on Video in motion, shorten Seatbelt wanting time from 100 seconds to 5 seconds, Rolling up windows and sunroof with key fob. Turned OFF disclaimer. There are lots of other stuff that that you can turn on and off but I would recommend to do anything outside basic mode. I wish developer will add Battery registration because I know I will have to change battery soon and I either have to buy Carly or learn e-sys.
