I have a 2011 335i xdrive coupe, bought bmwhatapp and the orginal bmwhatapp cable and usb to micro usb. the car connects to it but says 0 compatible ECUs. anything you guys recommend I try?

First I think anything newer than a 2006 uses the Bluetooth/Wifi dongle not the cable.

Thanks, did not see that what dongle works?

I paid a ton for the app, I got a cheap dongle on ebay. It depends if you are android or iphone user.

Your engine must be running for it to detect the ECU.

It was on and said connected

Engine does not have to be on, just ignition must be on.

You'll need an ELM 327 bluetooth dongle for the basics. You will likely get a couple of uncodable ECUs and warning that you need to buy their dongle instead if you want full compatibility.

Here's their version: Amazon Link

Here's the generic that may not be able to code all ECUs: Amazon Link
