      Hi there, great videos. How do I do to code headlamp low beam and hi beam error. I removed halogen and installed Led bulbs and gives me error.
      Question 2. Do you think that AuxBeam H7 with CANBUS codebox will work with no dashboard error? What do you recommend ?
      Thank you for your help

    Carly is a rip-off. No refunds and they hide the fact that it's subscription-based. Deceptive advertising, sketchy business practices, no refunds, questionable value/functionality vs a standalone OBD2 scanner.

    If you are considering using Carly, DON'T. If you know that is what you want and you are sure it will work with your vehicle, then buy it. When you do buy access to the software and it does not work, Carly WILL NOT refund regardless of how long you had the license, be it hours or days. Also be warned the license auto renews whether you want it or not.

    • @BMWDoctor
      @BMWDoctor  3 роки тому +1

      Correct it does but I would trust Carly with my FRM like I do with BimmerCode. Also carly doesn’t give you access to other modules like BimmerCode does, you also can’t code in launch control with Carly and other functions. With BimmerCode you can do retrofits if you know FDL coding. But if Carly you cannot do that also you must pay Carly yearly, BimmerCode there is no yearly charge it’s a one off cost that’s it.
