I’ve wanted Bimmercode for a while, but before buying anything my engine started running Bad and threw an engine light. I bought one of the dongles suggested by Bimmercode and read the code with the app that came with it. Cylinder 3 misfire. So I swapped coils with #2 and the code changed to cylinder 2 misfire. After changing all plugs and coils the engine light wouldn’t go out. Drove for a week, about 100 miles. So I bought Bimmerlink and now wish I’d started there. The stored error reading said straight up coil #2 was not working. My issue wasn’t hard for any mildly experienced person to figure out, but having it spelled out would have better! Good stuff.
Super nice and informative video man! Made me get binmerlink after this! also that jack that your friend used on your car is sick and i want one so bad
Hello, once I buy that OBD (I was thinking about OBDLink MX+) I have a bmw x5 (2015) f15 3.0L. Can I connect to both, both bimmercode and bimmerlink? Or do I have to pay separately for bimmerlink? And one more question... If I bought OBDLink MX+ for example (that's all I have to pay and I have all the bimmer advantages ? Or do I have to pay monthly on the bimmer website like am subscription ? Thank you.
@@Just1MoreMod I don't know what to do, I have a bmw x5 (f15) from 2015 and it has very bad fuel consumption ... between 18mpg and 22mpg (driven in the city) But when I type on google the combined fuel consumption looks totally different (between 41.5mpg and 47mpg) which which is not good at all (the car doesn't seem to have problems and I don't understand why it consumes so much....
@@MariusCicu i have the same issue with my X6 M. You should check the Catalytic converter. If it’s not a genuine one then probably it is sending false information regarding the fuel combustion which in turn sends signals to the engine to keep on burning fuel even in situations when it’s not necessary.
I need to replace the battery on my 2011 335IS, do I need both Bimmercode and Bimmerlink to code and register the new battery? Can I do both on my iphone with VeePeak adaptor?
Hey Just1MoreMod, great video. I was wondering if I could use Bimmerlink in place of Ista+ in regard to bleeding my ABS brake pump module. Do you think this is something I can do? Appreicate it!
are you connected to the car when its off ? or is the ignition on ? I'd like to scan for errors but my car has no power after replacing a battery , batt + cable , front fuse box distributor and a ground strap . I'm hoping beamer link can tell me what's wrong with my car if I cant get power to the car ? my regular OBD scanner wont work unless car has ignition on .
@@Just1MoreMod There is no bimmer tool for IOS so I suppose the bimmer link is IOS version of bimmer tool....for example i purchased carista and it doesn't have no option to check DPF back pressure...so now i want bimmer link but if this is the same as carista than it's a waste of time and money 🤦♂️
my f90 battery been dying every couple days if i dont drive it. does this app give battery voltage? i see that your car say 65% battery life. would a battery charger bring that up to 100% or is that just based on battery life from age?
Definitely sounds like a bad battery. Change it immediately because it is causing the alternator to work overtime to keep it on. A battery replacement is cheaper than an alternator replacement.
Hey man, thanks for sharing, does either Bimmerlink or Bimmercode read transmission fluid temp? Looking for option on changing the fluid, but I need to read the temp for the 2nd fill. Thanks!
Just use a temp gun on the pan, it works…I’ve compared the reading from the temp gun to the sensor reading several times and it always within 1-2degrees.
🙏🏻thanks much. I don’t believe so, as you need wifi vs bluetooth. If you want wifi wireless, check out this adapter from Kies Motorsports: www.kiesmotorsports.com/products/kies-wifi-enet-adapter-for-f-g-series-bmw-mini-and-the-a90-a91-toyota-supra
Driving BMW for 35 years. That’s the issue with BMW. You are constantly fixing something. I had once a Mitsubishi for 5 years. Nothing needed to be repaired. That was a good time.
Bro, I appreciate your informative video, but damn, you don't need a 45 second intro. 15 seconds tops.
10 secs max, christ even 15 secs is too long
No intro,this one is stupid ASF..

My 430-420 code was fixed when i replaced spark ⚡️ plugs and 2 bottles of injector cleaner and a octane booster 🤷♂️
Nice👍🏼. But I’m pretty sure my car still needed an “exhaust fix” to make my codes go away 😏
I bought both. Sucks buying 2 seperate apps but code I used for the tinkering and link for engine codes and problems
Como corregiste problemas que tenías en Bimmercode?
Exhaust flap gets closed when engine is turned off, not permanent
my bimmerlink is not showing battery state of charge. do you know how to fix this?
Nice video bro, any chance you can clear code on that annoying SOS??? Please tell me yesss.
You can with bimmer link and probably the other one too
Can I use this app to disable stop/start?

Yes you pay separately for the two apps. No, there isn’t a monthly fee.

@@MariusCicu 41.5-47mpg are you kidding me? my 2014 was doing 18-24 mpg when it was brand new. With eco mode, there is no way what Google is saying.

Just need Bimmerlink. But VeePeak works on both.
Hi will it clear pedestrian protection system fault
Is there a way to make it go directly to dashboard when startup?
Can I use BimmerLink to find which speed censor is faulty? I have a 2017 430i
Hi，is the battery registration free of bimmerlink or need buy the full version
Lmk when u find out , my ? Is do I need to purchase BinmerCode 49.99 version & Bimmer Lonk for 39.99
With bimmerlink can I delete the TPMS light?

Comment on a newer video, this was over a year ago..
Dude that was so easy of a smog check 😤-from cali
Can you reinstall modules with that? And reprogram stuff? Or it just reads errors?
What do you mean by “boot mode”?
are you connected to the car when its off ? or is the ignition on ? I'd like to scan for errors but my car has no power after replacing a battery , batt + cable , front fuse box distributor and a ground strap .
I'm hoping beamer link can tell me what's wrong with my car if I cant get power to the car ? my regular OBD scanner wont work unless car has ignition on .
Can you reboot the car models or reeinstal them? i have bimercode and it does very few things in my E87 series.
are we able to disable codes? like my headlight tilt left light error keeps popping up and its working fine
You can clear codes, but not necessarily “block” them from coming back up.
@@Just1MoreMod Ty!
Wait... Youre from maryland??? my biggest concern lately is how i will pass emission with a catless downpipe. Ive been worried sick!
😎👍🏼
@@Just1MoreMod so to pass emission with a catless downpipe what did you do?
@ValleyJay follow the steps on this thread. 👍🏼
f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1667211
Your codes for catalytic converter were here because of downpipe ? Or what was the problem?
Correct. It was a known code since I temporarily switched to the stock tune with the downpipe 👍🏼
Hey I’m just wondering why my menu is missing some options like the permanent errors option it’s not there ?
My question is , witch one is better bimmer tool fir amdroid or bimmer link for IOS ? Or are the same ?
It’s not about android or iOS, they do two different things. Honestly, it’s best to have both apps.
@@Just1MoreMod There is no bimmer tool for IOS so I suppose the bimmer link is IOS version of bimmer tool....for example i purchased carista and it doesn't have no option to check DPF back pressure...so now i want bimmer link but if this is the same as carista than it's a waste of time and money 🤦♂️

Does is reprogram active flap module?

Is there a way to save the ASD off on BimmerLink? When I remove the adapter and turn off app it doesn’t save.
I’ve heard the same things from others, but I personally use BimmerCode to disable the ASD feature and it saves and remains off 👍🏼
Which website u use please to identify the error
I like ur videos alot post more 👍🏼👍🏼
This is what I was referring to on my P3 gauge codes. Thanks for watching!

@@Just1MoreMod one more Question, should i buy BLE or BLE+ or it doesnt matter at all?
Are you referencing the Veepeak? If so, go with this one 😉 Veepeak OBD Adapter + DISCOUNT CODE: OBDCHECK for 10% amzn.to/3f845yU
So to have burbles on and asd off you need to have bootmod as well? Sorry
Where's the comparison....????? You mention Veepeak and bimmerlink, what about bimmercode.. And do a comparison... Like the headline says.
Im slow here... are you able to read error codes that are not shown in iDrive?
Yes, correct. Many many more codes!
Can this be use for an 525xi 2006 base model?
Yup. According to their site 5 series 2003 and newer 👍🏼
if you have a drive train malfunction on your dash, can bimmerlink tell you the problem
Yup, sure can👍🏼
So what about bimmercode ?
"No comment there" 😂😂
😬
Thanks
I like bimmer code better
It’s definitely got the fun factor 👍🏼
Do u know how to code AUX in 2010 bmwx6 e71?
09:03 what is the screen in the air vent called and what is it for?
P3 multi gauge. SUPER useful! Shows lots of info. Boost, coolant temp, air/fuel 0-60 etc… 👍🏼
Never would i ever get under a car thats held up by that fake poor man's lift. Ridiculous 😅
Bimmer! Not beamer
@Борець за свободу wrong. beamer is motorcycles and bimmer is for the cars. look it up

There's nothing wrong with his car. He's running a catless downpipe.
U sound like a hater
I’ve got the bm3 WiFi adapter and BimmerLink connects perfectly but cannot get car scanner to connect. What settings in the app?
You may be thinking of BeamerCode - different app
Edit:
I misread that - thought you meant the car, not the OBDs BT
