Will my MHD - F-Series adaptor work to connect and tune wirelessly? 11:12 - this line hits so hard. My MHD adaptor had me running circles for a couple days..
Ditch it and go with bm3 adapter. Mhd adapter doesn’t let you set a custom password on wifi and if left plugged it, could have your OBD port compromised which is not good at all for so many reasons.
@@protuningfreaks thanks for the response! I’m getting ready to order the package in the morning. I was wondering if I could use bm3 alongside with my xHP and xDelete tune as well? I currently have JB4 installed as well, I hear some people run JB4 with BM3 - does this change the install process at all? Would I have to put JB4 to Map 1 or?
I have a 2016 Mini Cooper S and just purchased bootmod3. I've been using an Ethernet to USB C adapter to connect to my laptop and Samsung Z Fold 2 but it isn't very consistent. I see there are 2 versions of the wifi adapter for sale on the website. I'm not sure which I should order. Which version is the best option to connect a 2016 Cooper S to a Samsung Z Fold 2?
I need a walkthrough. I got mine but I cannot get it worked. Is there any how to video? The app does not see my dongle and I dont have service if I connect to the adapter I hav an IOS.
Email support@protuningfreaks.com for help. If you’re using a cable and cable adapter do yourself a favor and switch to the bm3 wifi adapter. Its the absolute best way to connect
Did you ever figure out how to connect. I’m having this same exact issue I connect and go through the manual ip copy and paste. When I do that it’s stuck on loading and then states no internet connection. iOS as well
Love the dongle, will order one soon! I’m also just curious if you guys will develop some kind of braap ignition cut to make some M car sounds. I really miss that going from my m140 to a 340i, would love that feature!
bm3 wifi adapter is built in house from the ground up for bm3 and this platform and it has many features added not found on other adapters with infinite upgradeability.
You can’t. Its an Android OS thing, not something any app can change. All you do is simply download the maps you need first and then connect to the car and flash
i’ve tried to connect the wifi adapter to my phone but it always switches to bm3 enet adapter as if it was a internet connection, it doesn’t allow me to do anything on the app
You have to acces accessory mode by hitting the start button 3 times rapidly The car won't start but it will go to accessory mode than the start button on bm3 app should turn green Make sure the driver seat belt is on
@@protuningfreaksI’m having major issues connecting with my WiFi adaptor. I’ve been able to use it to flash xhp with no problems, but it doesn’t seem to detect that I’m connected when I’m on the bm3 app. Can you please help? I have tried manually entering in the IP address and that makes the bm3 app show an internet connection BUT I’m missing the OBD connection (while being connected).
So I purchased the latest BM3 Wireless Adapter. I connected to its WiFi via my IPhone 14 Pro Max, and it’s showing no internet connection. How do I allow for an cellular internet connection and connect to BM3 WiFi at the same time?
when i connect my iphone 14 pro to the bm3 wifi adapter via wifi, i lose internet connection from my service provider. for some reason this didn't happen the first i connected. i can either be connected to the internet (via my service provider) or the wifi adapter but not both at the same time. this prevents me from flashing to a different tune. do i have something wrong with the settings in my iphone? please help
Set your ip settings to manual and copy over ip and subnet but leave router empty and you’ll have both internet and connection to car. Check instructions on our website.
any reason why reading DTC codes takes forever ?? i pressed erase and it went away . but for 20 mins it wasn’t able to read it. maybe it was a gas cap loose or something.
Hi just bought a cheap wifi adapter to try the app. I don’t want to flash my car or anything i just want to see the data login but i cant connect it any help?
You may have random issues if not using the bm3 wifi adapter. Other adapters are not officially supported due to various connectivity related headaches.
This is fantastic news. I have been holding off on buying a coding tool and transmission flash because I didn't want to deal with questionable dongles.
@@protuningfreaks lads not going to lie found out what our problem was I had to go into data settings when it's connected and then switch on ethernet connections and worked a treat didn't loose connection. Just trying to download the logs now or find where they are ha. Thanks guys legends as always
my adapter stopped connecting to the car the wifi settings is set to manual settings but the app doesn’t seem to detect the car. what can i do ? i tried disconnecting the battery but it still not working. i cant connect to my car
Androids don’t allow internet and car connection at the same time like you can on iOS. So just disconnect from the car when the app shows you the vin and software details so your phone goes online again, and hit activate.
I’ll be going BM3 Stage 2 soon on my N55 and hopefully XHP stage 3 trans tune. I’m just surprised the N55 is stuck at 400hp crank mark being a newer engine vs a 2J with stock twins seeing 400whp. Eventually I’ll go Pure stage 2 and I hope that gets me over the 400whp hump on 93 octane.
There are 2 versions. One is $79 and the other is $99 USD. If you’re local to us or any authorized dealer you can pick it up for that price without shipping. If shipping from us, we use DHL Express and shipping has a cost unfortunately.
On F series cars, if your battery is older or already low, yes. Just toggle it off using the switch or unplug when not using for longer periods of time
The best part is that the shady sellers on Amazon recognize that it needs to be MFI certified, and they just say it's certified even though it's not...
@@protuningfreaks it's true though. The first one I bought didn't work. But then I got the iPhone 15 Pro Max, so it doesn't matter anymore because they finally have USB C like adults.
Should have bought the WIFI adapter from you guys. The BimmerUtility adapter will not connect, WIFI. Apple ProMax 13. Also sets off the alarm system. 2022 BMW M4 Comp xDrive. SETTINGS (ProMax 13) WIFI DEVICE SHOWN.(BU) PASSWORD/SSID UNKNOWN. VIN NOT FOUND. . Returning it and going with a cable. Their service is lacking as well. Horrible work instructions. NO mention of SSID psswd etc. I sent them a message, SSID wide open? I was in Telecom, 30+ years and electronics in general over 50+ years.
I'm definitely buying this. I hate the anxiety I get flashing with my iPhone & the enet cable.
I finally understood how to connect with an Android device.
I was able to successfully flash the map.
thank you.

We recommend v3 to everyone as it has the most capabilities hardware wise.
What was the password on the wifi to connect to it??
Can we use bootmod3 and bimmercode with this 1 apdater? Or does bimmercode need something else?
Yes you can, many other 3rd party apps as well including even oem diagnostics software like esys and ISTA

Can you use the wifi adapter with a Windows laptop, since map tuning isnt availabe on mobile devise?
Yes you can. You can just download the map prior, then connect over wifi and flash it from editor.
