BIM DPF GUARD vs CarInterval

BIM DPF GUARD monitors your BMW diesel's particulate filter (DPF) regeneration in real time — right from your phone, in the background, without ever touching your car's settings. HOW IT WORKS Connect a Bluetooth OBD-II adapter to your car's diagnostic port, pair it once in the app, and BIM DPF GUARD takes it from there. Every time you get in the car, it reconnects automatically — no need to open the app. REAL-TIME REGENERATION ALERTS You get a clear voice announcement when the car asks for a DPF regeneration ("in preparation"), another when the burn really starts, a reminder halfway through and one when it finishes — even with the app closed, even over your music or car radio. If the request goes away without the regeneration starting, you only get a silent notification. No more wondering whether a regeneration completed, or cutting a drive short right when your filter needed those extra minutes. TRACK YOUR DPF'S HEALTH Watch soot mass build up in real time, see your regeneration history, average interval between regenerations, distance since the last one, and an estimated distance to the next. WORKS WITH YOUR CAR, NOT AGAINST IT BIM DPF GUARD only ever reads data from your vehicle — it never sends any command, write, or control instruction. It cannot trigger a regeneration or change any setting. The app is also designed from the ground up to avoid triggering your car's anti-theft alarm, using the car's own Bluetooth connection as a signal to know exactly when it's safe to reconnect.
