Maybe it has more functionality with other years/models. ### 2/5 — Can’t read DME *2026-08-15, version 4.4* Can’t read DME, can’t clear the fault codes. However it can read other control units just not the control unit everyone needs. ### 3/5 — M2 *2026-06-27, version 4.4* Did a software update on my m2 now I can’t turn off the auto start stop, tried a couple times still there when I’m driving ### 3/5 — Double check your specific model *2026-06-25, version 4.4* I have a 2018 BMW 230i convertible. The convertible is key. This device can change a few items in my car but most of the features that I wanted are unavailable because it's a convertible. They should have a separate page for BMW convertibles to list exactly what it can and can't do. ### 5/5 — BMW x5d 535i *2026-06-18, version 4.4* Unit worked beautifully w VeePeak BLE+ on both BMW’s 2014, 2010, in the garage. Very comprehensive, flexible, and complete. Use only Bluetooth (no WiFi) on the lammer AppleCrap greedy iPhone from hell. Cupertino sucks…. ### 1/5 — Desktop version design *2026-06-17, version 4.4* If you street park, you’re going to need a hotspot plan to use the tool. Desktop app requires app update and network or it won’t load. Love that. ### 5/5 — Very useful *2026-06-11, version 4.4* Used the app to disable error messages from dash after installing LEDs for the headlights low beam, high beams, DRL, parking light, etc. Programmed the key fob to open and close the trunk tailgate. Was able to set Apple CarPlay full screen. Programmed so that the fog lights don’t shut off while having the high beams on. Overall pleased and although $49.99 isn’t cheap, I find it worth it as it’s a one time purchase. ### 5/5 — WBA13BK02PCL36839 *2026-06-06, version 4.4* WBA13BK02PCL36839 ### 4/5 — Add Custom Code integration *2026-06-04, version 4.4* Would like to use a Custom Code list, to label the less popular coding options. ### 5/5 — Coder *2026-05-29, version 4.4* This is a awesome programmer app. I was able to remove all my error codes after installing LED lights on my 2009 Clubman S ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not happy *2026-08-22, version 4.4* App always crashing when trying to connect to vehicles settings, extremely unstable ### 1/5 — No support for 2026 X3 *2026-08-18, version 4.4* Please add support for the G45 X3. ### 1/5 — These developers will take your money and give you nothing. *2026-08-12, version 4.4* Not to be trusted. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2026-08-06, version 4.4* Don’t work on new BMW ### 1/5 — Not suitable for a 24/25/26 X5 *2026-08-03, version 4.4* There is almost no functionality for the post 23 G05 LCI.

Everything I tried did not turn off this warning. ### 1/5 — Na *2026-07-19, version 4.4* Followed instructions for 5+ changes and all showed code successfulnone worked ### 1/5 — Specific coding disabled *2026-07-18, version 4.4* I bought the software to code the pedestrian protection system on my F10 535i. And, of course, this module is not available with “expert mode” so you can’t do the work. I fail to see how this is any better that Carly, frankly. ### 1/5 — Can’t connect *2026-07-03, version 4.4* I can’t connect ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-06-19, version 4.4* I bought it thinking I need to code my new headlights I didn’t … within same day I try to cancel get my money back they denied me 3 times .. scammers. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Спасибо за Русский язык! *2026-09-07, version 4.4* Вы лучшие!

I purchased this app and it in informed me right away to check to see what version map I currently have and I had the correct version. It was that simple I coded my truck and I have full Apple car play now lol. I’m enjoying this app and I look forward to do all the additional coding that the shop lefted out.
