Bimmercoding

It may be the best $90 I ever spent.

Thanks to all who offered their advice.

Michael

I wish I’d read the supporting coders in BimmerCode... instead I blindly took someone’s advice and bought OBDII but it’s not supported in bimmercode so I cannot do any coding yet..... I’m going to have to get Veepak one or one of the 6 or so listed in bimmercode for IOS. .... I was so looking forward to doing a little coding but alas this silly OBDII isn’t compatible. I would say it’s the worse 35 dollars I’ve spent �� I wished I’d spent 70 and got the right unit in the first place
