Bimmercode Help

I got Bimmercode to do the Sport+. I was able to code that successfully along with a few other things. I installed it on both my iPhone and iPad and I'm using ENET to connect. Here's the thing, I was able to connect and code ONCE with each device, now both will not connect. Both still establish the IP address, but the app won't connect. I've done all the usual, rebooting, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, plug and unplugging all of the connections. Anyone have a suggestion on what to try?

I've tried contacting Bimmercode, both via the app and by e-mail through the website, no response, yet people seem to get answers from them immediately?

Are you using an enet cable or wifi enet? When I had the wifi dongle, I had to unpair my phone from the iDrive completely since it kept trying to connect my phone to the bmw wifi even though I had it forgotten on both iDrive and phone. That prevented me from using the app at all since it wouldn’t connect to the adapter. The only way was to remove the phone completely from the iDrive and forget everything (Bluetooth and wifi device).

I'm using ENET cable, airplane mode, WiFi off, bluetooth off. Keep in mind it connected and worked once with each device.

Make sure you are back in diagnostic mode before you connect.

No, it worked and then it didn't. ENET cable on Bimmercodes list of recommended means to connect.

Yes, on every attempt.

Hm. That's weird because I've been using the ENET cable on my G20 and G30 and, so far, it has been able to connect flawlessly and it's very quick. However, the dongle to connect to iPhone is flimsy cheap quality so check if urs is broken.

It gets the IP address very quickly every time, so it's communicating, the app and the car aren't talking.

Stephan finally got back to me and said lock the car, leave it for a while, then go back, which I'm doing now.

Edit: Locking and leaving it worked. Since it's garaged I never normally lock it and didn't think to try that. Go figure.
