Take control of your BMW service history. BimmerManager lets you prepare, edit, back up, and upload service records straight from your iPhone. ============================== Build Clean Service Entries ============================== Create records with everything your headunit expects: date, mileage, dealer type and ID, overall status, and individual jobs. Review before writing, sort by mileage, and edit existing entries to prepare a sensible service timeline. ============================== Uploading to Your Vehicle ============================== Upload prepared records to compatible NBT and NBT_EVO headunits over ENET. For small updates of 3 entries or fewer, choose whether to erase existing history or append to it. Appended entries are written in ascending mileage order to keep the timeline intact. ============================== Built In Backups ============================== Save local backups, reload previous files, and edit backup data offline in backup edit mode, with no car connection needed. ============================== Know Your Headunit ============================== The info screen surfaces headunit type, software version, firmware release, map version, and country code. For NBT_EVO, BimmerManager can flag whether your software version supports Apple CarPlay fullscreen. ============================== Try Before You Connect ============================== Demo Mode lets you explore the full service history workflow with no vehicle attached. ============================== Built-In Support ============================== Stuck? Submit a support request with diagnostic logs and relevant backup files attached, making it much faster to investigate connection, upload, or backup issues. ============================== Requirements ============================== - Vehicles: compatible BMW, MINI, Rolls-Royce, and Toyota Supra models - Adapters: MHD / ENET Adapter (other Wi-Fi ENET-style adapters may work, but developer support is limited) - Headunits: NBT and NBT_EVO only (as of May 2026) - Connection: vehicle must support the required ENET communication path - Uploading: stable voltage recommended; ignition or accessory mode expected
