Hi folks, Just would like to share my find of free android app for bmw that i found recently and its called DeepOBD.Its a nice app to read fault codes and monitor parameters.It can also log data and can create trace file but i haven't played with it yet.It's fully customisable.Basically it works like tools32 and ediabas to retrieve the values out from the module.
I liked carly buy recently it stopped working properly on my generic ELM327 adapter.Looks like carly is forcing users to buy their own adapters.

I am attaching the screenshot which i created while monitoring parameters on my X5 35D using generic ELM327 bluetooth adapter.Not sure if its available for IOS.

I am attaching the already configured files for M57(with permission) by the author.Unzip the config.zip folder to your external SD card and then go to menu-->configuration--->go to config folder on your sd card and select E90Bt.cccfg (if you are using bluetooth adapter) from E90 folder and E90Ftdi.cccfg(only if you are using cable).It will then populate all the parameters shown in my screenshot automatically.

That looks awesome. I too gave up on iCarly after the update directed me to buy an overpriced OBD2 adapter -- for the second time. The Foxwell NT510 is pretty cool though.

I also have the nt510

still trying to figure out all the functions. if I sit down for a while I will eventually find what I am looking for lol

im going to buy the advanced functions for my wife's F150 EB

looks interesting i will give it a shot, thanks for sharing.. hope its safe for the ecu etc. i too used carly but then switched to android and came to conclusion its overpriced, kinda regret buying it now

I have explained the procedure and attached ready-made config for E90.You can download it from my first post.

This is very interesting. Carly will eventually loose a lot of customer base.

so a couple questions

can the gen 2 Carly Bluetooth adapter be used?
aside from pulling codes and viewing parameters and logging them. what else can it do? for example, can it run the fuel pump like edibas?

Is there a specific elm327 adapter that works better than others? I see a few different types on ebay, different interfaces too, bluetooth wifi etc.

Id hate to buy it and find that it's very laggy as was my experence a while back with a wired adapter i bought.

Deep OBD is great been using it for a while.

DeepOBD originates from Dr Gini, by the same developer. I had that on my laptop for quite a while. This Android app is just as nice.

Then it means carly has started to use their own customized adapters.Probably that's why my generic obd adapter stopped working properly with carly.

Do you have a dcan cable?You can give a shot with cable as well.Just to try.
