    Hi Boardsies.
    Looking for app / blue tooth connection to read problems that might be lingering in car computer.
    Was looking at "Carly" dongle and app. But bit pricey for what I want.
    Any other options available?

    Thanks Sandy.

    i carley is not the cheapest but it does give you more functions dedicated to BMW, like coding, for what it does its pretty good value. Cheap elm type units will only give you engine codes, will not cover any of the systems on the car.

    Mid range scanners like Launch X431 Creader VIII or Autel MD801 are as much as i carely but will work on other models

    Have Carista for my VAG but saw on website they support a good range of BMWs

    https://caristaapp.com/p/bmw

    Cost me £15.99 from Amazon UK with a free month subscription to the premium fixtures

    Handy thing about Carista app is it also works with any decent ELM327 OBD2 so you can check it for free
