E-sys or Carly for coding? Trying to see which one is better. Heard a lot of people talking about E-sys.

And what about Bimmercode?

I got a bluetooth adapter and purchased Bimmercode, it is a nice clean and simple solution for what I wanted.

It's time for me to abandon ESys as I'm too computer illiterate to figure out how to make it work. I'm totally confused on which is the better option, Bimmercode or Carly. I looked at GAT, but the adapter is, IMHO, quite over priced at $200.

My main goal is to code a couple things my recent dealer visit uncoded; the compass, reverse camera at any speed. I also want to code the (I forget what it's called) headlight beam narrowing at freeway speeds.

So…. PLEASE HELP me decide!!

Definitely go with Carly adapter. E-sys is to much this and to much that.

I chose BimmerCode for various reasons and here is what I've learned coding with BimmerCode…

Expert mode has all the available coding as does ESys. I couldn't find the compass setting in the basic modules, but I found it easy enough in the expert setting. I tried coding 5 blinks instead of the stock 3, but that didn't work; I think we already knew that. I also coded warm and cold temp monitoring... that was a failure as I got all kinds of failure alerts so I went back to not monitored. Coding off my phone is infinitely easier than dragging my laptop around.

I didn't try Carly as the price of admission is too high (IMHO) and the yearly fee is too much for me (not the cost, just the fact that they charge yearly). So far I couldn't be happier and if I need to get into diagnostics I'll just get BimmerLink.

Does Bimmercode reset the service alert, brake pads etc within Idrive ?
Thanks

Not that I can tell. I believe BimmerLink would do that.

I can't find that option in Carly. Can you tell where that option is?

Open the Carly app, select CONNECT, and select FEATURES at the bottom, scroll down to MAINTENANCE then select your option, BRAKE or SERVICE RESET. Open the picture below and you can see the BRAKE option just below NOX.

It will walk you through the steps. I did my brakes this last summer, it was beyond easy to do.
