This item is very necessary if you have Carly for BMW installed on your phone. After carefully following the set up instructions it works perfectly well and enables the software on the phone to easily communicate with the OBD2 system. I was able to adjust and alter various functions on my car as well as register a new battery which was the main reason I brought it. The main snag is the price - which is far more then it is worth! There may be other much cheaper products which work with Carly software such as ELM but unfortunately I didn't have time to shop around. My second issue is it's size. Although it fits well on to the OBD2 scart plug it is very difficult to disconnect since the scart is well recessed and I cant actually grab the connector firmly withought using a pair of grips! It would benefit from being at least twice the length. That said it all works well and is manufactured to a good standard. It is by far a much easier system to use then other kinds of diagnostic software which require a pc and windows platform. Overall I am pleased with the Carly software and hardware. Read full review

A quality product but does very little our of the box. You have to pay an annual subscription just to get some basic functionality, like clearing error codes. For a third of the price you can get an equally good OBD2 scanner that will allow you to do so much more, without paying any extra.

I brought mine direct from carly, they ask for your car brand (BMW) at checkout. I have used it with several BMWs and it works great, reading/deleting codes, viewing live data, done some basic coding and DPF regen with N47 engine. I have 4 OBD scanners, this picks up more issues than the other scanners on a BMW. Best advise clear codes and see if they come back before spending cash. Sorted some issues buying replacement parts for issues i would never of known about. Rescanned after fitting parts and faults do not return. Picked up air con pressure error that other readers missed. I had issues with my AC system so know the reader is genuine. Only downside to this is it only works in basic mode with other brands. Lets you change the car brand and scan other cars, displaying number of faults but will not display the codes. Wants me to sign up for the annual subscription for full functionality with other brands.Read full review

Works well and I have no complaints technically, the issue is, other than regular diagnostic options the codings are a one off option you don't get new ones just turn on/off functions. For older cars this becomes pricey with the annual subscription. You can cancel it so no issues there.
