I Love your channel Joel, But I got a Carly for my 03' 3.0i and it tells me i have about 18 codes or problems and I had a shop check it with more sophisticated professional OBD2 scanners and there's no problem. The only thing It really worked on was the European emergency flashers and turning off the running lights. Pretty much unusable for diagnosing real issues. It also says my engine is unsupported? Not your fault, but just wanted to let viewers be ware. Its not a slam dunk for everyone.
With 3 BMW's to care for, one being an e85, this was a smart decision. For example a low battery can trigger an air bag fault which is what my Z4 did, charge battery and reset thrown code. Now I can reset the code without a dealer($) visit. Thanks Joel for convincing me.
A cat likes to take a nap on my roof, making it dirty or worse. When I look out of my window and the cat is there, I can now simply throw her of the roof by opening it remotely from the first floor. Very funny. I call it the "catapult" :-D
Serious question..! A cat loves to sit on my Z4 Coupe, I can’t figure out if it actually causes damage or not, I don’t think it does, but have you noticed any scratches on yours? Great content Joel, gonna get a Carly! Have you done a vid on the air box pipe in to the cabin for more induction noise? I removed the baffling in mine today and its awesome.
@@bluefluffmusic Unfortunately there are two scratches aside from muddy paw prints, fur and even pee once, which was nasty on the fabric. In Germany the law says, cats are allowed to wander around or under the car, but NOT ACCESS it in any way. The owner will be fully responsible for all damage or cleaning costs. Good luck!
I'd been debating getting one of these for a while, the 20% off swung the decision for me.. After a bit of investigation, in addition to the Z4 I can do some configuration of my JCW (turning off the default start stop) - not particularly useful for the other cars but the man maths still work out. 👍
Hey Joel it's taken me some time to decide whether to buy one or not but having recently had some work done and a software update on mine I decided to bite the bullet and buy one . Thanks for the 20% discount Mark.
even though the monthly subscription is a little disappointing i think ill give it ago. I bought a 2008 z4 and am loving it so far and looking forward to trying this out.
Joel! I was inspired to purchase the Carly-kit after seeing your videos here. One of the features was the coding option to enable soft top opening and closing using the remote key. I'm running a MY2003/7, 3.0i and Carly presented me with the options to code both Comfort Open and Close of the soft top. Both were successfully coded, however, I only get the closing to work by pressing the close-button on the remote key three times and holding. What are the correct sequences? Do you know or where can I retrieve that information? Thanks!
I have a 2007 Z4. I tried this to get the top go up and down with the fob and the key in the lock. Did not work. The top will go up with the key in the lock only and down from the fob only. I was disappointed.
Hi Joel, I just bought a 2007 Z4 3.0I and love it so far. Wish the wind turbulence wasn't so bad though at highway speeds. I noticed the windblocker you have installed? How does it work and is it the factory version or from someplace else? I've been considering building my own instead of shelling hundreds of bucks for either a mesh or acrylic screen. Please let me know what you think. Thanks so much!

Hi Joel, Great video! Thank you. I have a quick query. I have a 2004 Z4 and I was wondering I could have mph displayed using Carly app? I have seen your other video with test mode on but that is for kmph and hence not very useful in UK.
Nice one Joel! I once read somewhere (I forget where) that the power steering assist input for both sport/non sport modes can be recoded to make the steering lighter or heavier. Is this something the Carly app can access?
Hey just wonderas I have just purchased z4 3.osi coupe what other features if any can be done with Carly Joel might not have mentioned going to order carly tomorrow 😁 all help welcome
Hello, can you tell me if you can activate the rear fog light? I have a us version and changed the front face plate of the lcm with one who has the fog light switch, fog light indicator in the dash works but i will need some coding on the lcm. Is Carly the one who can do?
It's Joel just ordered one - using your code (thank you) it was £67.84. Will just have to work out how to attach it when it arrives. I also have a 05 Z4 (from new with only 35k miles). Also with airbag warning light on which looking forward to clearing.
Wow, very low mileage! Nice one. And of course, as I say if you’re not happy you can always send it back! :) thanks for watching and supporting the channel
Did that fault clear actually turn your airbag light off? I also find when I hold the lock button to put the roof up, that works, but doesn’t put the windows up, which isn’t particularly helpful! 😂
Hey Friend. Good channel! Here from Portugal... May look like easy in the North.. But nothing comparable what the reality is in here! A very hard and painfull place to live the dream, but yet, possible too do it and achive it! And gracefully I have it in a regular basis.Here with the grateful ligth of Portugal! It would be a pleasure if I can send some data of my E85 2.5 193Hp , and bring together the commuity of the old continent together. What a toy and a beast this car is! One of the few ones that rest with a soul!
Joel, sounds right interesting, checked their site but no mention of 'coding' for adding factory fogs. I picked up a pr. plus the req'd new dash light switch, but have been putting off the install because forums I've searched say dealer coding is necessary. Any clue?
Aye, subscription models are shitty. Fortunately it looks like the Vgate iCar Pro + Bimmercode (£25) = £50 works. I'm getting a baby beamer soon so will give that a punt before paying monthly for Carly.
Also what functions can you use without the subscription? If like to get one pay the sub set my car up and not renew the second year unless I have issues. Can I then not use the app or module is it effectively dead?
Nothing good. Mostly just a 'test to see if it connects' type deal. I've got the old version with a sub that runs out in July, I've since moved on to INPA - I won't renew Carly
@@michaelli9516 On the e89 the key will only raise the roof if your car has the comfort access module (an optional extra). Carly can't over come that. Most useful thing for me was to add open close roof while moving. I have an early e89 so mine is set to 19mph, 2014 should be able to work at 30mph (revised and stronger roof).
Anybody using Carly and having problems with the roof-function using the key? After coding it properly, it stops halfway closing and i have to finish closing with the knob in the car... 😩
Bart van Steenwijk I think I may have had the same issue, I coded my roof and now when I go to close the roof, it stops halfway even when using the button inside the car. I then have to switch the ignition off and on again for it to close the rest of the way up. Can you confirm if you have the same symptoms
Hi Joel, I watched your video the other night and asked if you would be interested in recording one of our Z4EVENTS meets later this year. Let me know if you're interested. Will try and organise something not too far for you if possible. Cheers😎
It's Joel Thanks Buddy, appreciate it. Do you know if it will let me travel whilst putting the hood up and down? (2007 E85) and is it one touch operation (like gap tech)? Keep the videos coming.

Bimmercode does exactly the same but it's a one time purchase and not monthly. So in the end, cheaper.

Just ordered mine. Used the code! Also just bought a 2008 BMW Z4 3.0SI! Been studying your videos like crazy in preparation!

Not at all, you could go for one year and if you decide it’s not for you, you can cancel. There is also a 30 day money back guarantee

This is brilliant Joel - thanks for letting us know - and for the navigation through it's capabilities. Really helpful. Thanks from New Zealand.

Did that fault clear actually turn your airbag light off? I also find when I hold the lock button to put the roof up, that works, but doesn’t put the windows up, which isn’t particularly helpful! 😂
It did yes! But then came back on the next day 😂
I’m sure others have said already but normally when your airbag light is on it means the whole airbag system is disabled.

Hey Jole, do you have an update for this item??
Great...all I need now is buy it, a $1,000 smart phone and a monthly subscription.....There's cheaper options out there.
Hade you been able to activate “comfort indicators” on yours? That the indicator flashes 3 times ...
I won’t get the option in Carly on my 2004 z4
I did this on my 2007, suprised didn't work for a 2004

Thanks for watching, I think you can turn the fogs on but I’d have to double check. All coding possibilities can be viewed on the website
So to clarify will I need a subscription to use the functions you went through like the live data and the coding features and diagnostics ?
Correct
Hi joe do I need pay the full version to the code?
do i need full licence to code my z4 2006 or does it code it when plug and play and use standard app? cheers
Hi, I have a Z4M, is it possible to code a 3 turn signal flash instead of1 when you gently press the indicator ?
I’m not certain, on the website I believe it shows you all possibilities for your car
Sounds good. Been meaning to pick this up for some time now. BTW, what is that on your air vent?
You should go for it 👍🏻 it’s probably my phone mount!
Code dont work actually looking for a carry
Wow, that's incredibly disappointing that Carly moved to a subscription model. That's a deal breaker for me :/
I think they’ve had a subscription model for a while now. It does work out well if you use the functionalities often
Aye, subscription models are shitty. Fortunately it looks like the Vgate iCar Pro + Bimmercode (£25) = £50 works. I'm getting a baby beamer soon so will give that a punt before paying monthly for Carly.
Carly has a 30 day guarantee; so if it’s not for you, you can always return it!
