Recommendation for Bimmercode
Awaiting my 2021 X7 but buying all accessories I can .
Can anyone recommend the OBD Adapters to buy for US market? Looking to code the Anti Dazzle as soon as I get the car. I see there are multiple options listed on bimmercode website but wanted to ask the experts on this group here as this will be my first time. I have iOS. TIA. |

I have posted the very question in Bimmercode post, so far no response
https://g07.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...0&postcount=64 I think this can only be coded with ESYS at this point. |

I have reached out to the bimmercode folks. Their response is that they have no plans to add the anti-dazzle headlights to their app.
Apparently their app changes settings for existing variables in the software/os, but anti-dazzle needs a "equipment" feature added. Basically telling the computer you have the anti-dazzle lights installed as opposed to turning something on/off (i.e. ASS remember last setting). (hopefully that explanation makes sense). (A section of code that tells your car what equipment is installed, vs a different section of code that tells the computer what to do with existing equipment) Like on a PC, telling it you have a printer installed (anti-dazzle) vs telling it you want to print default in color or black & white. Bimmercode can change the default setting (i.e. print in black or white) but not change if the computer thinks you have a specific piece of equipment installed (i.e. telling computer you have a particular printer installed). |

I am personally a fan of the hardwired approach using an ENET cable and Ethernet to Lightning adapter cable (Android has an equivalent cable). Lightning fast and very reliable since it is a wired connection.

They come in different lengths, but what I have (and what I think is most common) is probably 3-4ft ish. When combined with the typical lightning to Ethernet cable, I have no issues with length as I sit in the driver seat, with my phone, with everything connected.

Thanks for your guidance on this. Got the ENET cable and attachments for my iphone for around $30 and couldn't be happier with speed and reliability. Bimmercode customer service is pretty amazing as well - always got a response from them within a day.
