You're welcome, yes ethernet cable to ethernet adaptor (rj45 to usb A) then to usb c adaptor for samsung s10

They're pretty much same apart from their themes. I'm used to bimmertool as it came out a few years before bimmerlink.

Hi, as far as I can remember you can see lambda and high/low fuel pressure values in numbers both apps can display it but not as a graph.

I’m not a BMW pro but 255 (or FF in Hex) is the highest number available to an unsigned 8-bit integer for a computer. It might represent 100% in the case of the ECU. Best way to test it would be to drain a little oil during an oil change and then try to see what number appears (though I’d definitely suggest attempting it without running your engine!)

Yes, it stays open until you change it. You can take off your obd adaptor

To add with his answer, there's an active switch on/off function for memory. Make it active so the settings save and retain

That function releases the brake shoes when you want to replace the brake discs. Inside the rear brake drums there are two brake shoes and you need to release them before attempting to hammer your old discs to replace 👍

What if the BimmerLink doesn’t show the brake icon that I’m looking for to change the rear brakes? Is there another way to release or press the piston back?

It shows the function on the application no matter what. This function is for electronic brake systems without hand lever. You can't take off the brake discs without disabling the parking brakes.

Unfortunately these apps cant help you. The modification you want to carry out requires E-SYS software which needs to be used carefully.

Yes, it would show up the error code and you can take action accordingly. Once you fix it, you can also clear the error codes with bimmerlink.

Hi, thanks for your comment. Helping each other is the only reason I started this channel, so I'll try to keep it as simple as possible for you. -check and delete error codes, view dpf state and force regeneration and some service functions like reseting oil or adaptations you can use Bimmerlink or BimmerTool. They're identical with different user interfaces. I personally use both. You can see my dpf regeneration on this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/isiEgc2Um6ylg4k.html Updating maps: you have 2 methods, watch my video on how to do it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eJh-rL15pt_Ul2Q.html Update head unit software: for example, if you have iDrive 5 NBT head unit, you can't just upgrade the software to NBT Evo or newer version, because bmw doesn't allow it. Whole head unit hardware need to be replaced which is not recommended since you will lose some functionality due to not matching your car fully. However, there are options like buying an MMI box (like I did) and add many options to your existing head unit. Such as apple car play, android auto, usb video playback, front and rear camera. Watch my video on that kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mtR8as1mmdOcd6c.html Add Service entries onto iDrive: there's an easy to use software to update your service history on iDrive, if you give me an email here (not personal mail, can be fake) I will send you the software. Also I have a video about it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pZp3qpBir7m7pGw.html This information should be a good starter for you, as long as you take your time and gain knowledge, it's very easy to do many things on your car without getting tied to dealers and local mechanics. There's also ista+ Rheingold which is a software used by bmw dealers in servicing. This software is at the top of everything and the best you can use for everything in your bmw, but it requires a lot of research and study to understand and use it properly. Watch my video on that. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hKmAgKx_s76Yops.html All the best ✌

Hi, thanks 👍 yes it has an option for forced regeneration.

Hi, any ethernet to obd2 cable would do, there's no specific brand I can recommend really. I'm on samsung too

Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the video 🤠 Bmw has a speed limit warning sound if you enable it. Other option is to use it in manual steptronic gear and keep it on M2, so car doesn't change gear.

Both apps support BMWs from 2005 onwards, so unfortunately your car won't be working with neither of these apps.

I have to do the same, which one did you get?

@@ojtothemax BimmerLink for service jobs. Shame they had to split this programming so we have to buy both. I bought both but returned the other by calling them and they had no issues giving you a refund .

@@torocars9227 thanks a lot! Will get BimmerLink then.

Yes, it can clear any error codes

Is it petrol or diesel?

@@bmwsolutions7880 Diesel (3.0L)

Yeh, it sounds a bit bad fuel consumption really. It's a heavy vehicle and driving in city has a higher fuel consumption. First thing I'd do is to clean the MAP and MAF sensors then check the air filter is new or not blocked. Keeping your car serviced is always a good idea and I never belive in the consumption numbers they publish. I have a full service video that shows how to clean those sensors, especially MAP sensor would definitely help.

Hi, it can only read faults if the component has a sensor. So, the sensor can read the fault to bimmerlink.

@@bmwsolutions7880 thanks sir for the info 😊

I'm not too sure about exact values of everything really. They always flacuate when engine is running. BimmerTool has some expected values but I never pay attention to be honest.

Your bmw has to have an obd2 port for these apps to work

@@bmwsolutions7880 E46 has obd.... i think

Thanks for your comment 👍 I tried it on an E91 and it was showing all injector values.

thanks man for your time. Good luck in everything you do.

@@bmwsolutions7880 👍

Protool is more like a combination of bimmercode and bimmerlink and focuses on E series. Bimmercode can only do coding not diagnostics etc. But it works with a wide range of models. So, it's about choosing what suits you the best.

I don't have any idea to be honest. I only had bmw f series.

If you want both apps, yes you need to pay separately.

I don't think you can. First you need to scan your car and identify what causes reboot problem. Best option would be to connect to ista, then you'll be able to take action.

Unfortunately, BimmerTool is android only. Bimmerlink is both ios and android 👍

@@bmwsolutions7880 ahhh i see only i wanted to reset my maf i don’t believe you can do that on bimmer link can you

Hi, as far as I can remember it tels you the mileage since the last regen.

Ista+ Rheingold states the life span of dpf as 250000km which is around 155342miles at which the dpf needs to be replaced in order to keep the efficiency at a good level. However, you can just take out your dpf, carry out a good chemical cleaning, reset it and continue using the same dpf. (Steven B. Tuner has a few good videos on KZfaq)

@@bmwsolutions7880 Ok cool. My X5 is close to 40g of ash at 90k miles. I have been researching on how to perform the cleaning after it hits it's life span. Thank you for your videos!!

Any voltage below 12.5 is considered low on car batteries.

Hi, it could be the car model compatibility issue. Have a look at the supported car section in the app. I also can't see some tabs as opposed to 5 series car for ex.

@BMW Solutions cheers pal thanks for response I used the dpf request for the first time yesterday I worked really well am very pleased

Hi, as you said there's a short circuit in the ecu. No software can solve it. It needs to be taken out and repaired if possible or replaced and encoded back in the car.

BimmerTool has released an update last week and I can confirm that it is supporting e-net cable now.

As I mentioned in the video, they're almost same, so either bimmerlink or bimmertool will do the job

just checking mate, did you manage to clear the airbag and seatbelt one beacause thats exactly what im looking at them for. Ive just replaced an airbag, seat and pretensioner and i need the light off. Cheers.

@@charliecairns2949 I had to change the acsm module and get it coded in

@@kencalvert8647 I've got one to go in, I just wasn't sure whether or not I would need it. What was the process like? Cheers

Check your battery safety terminal wire. Small wire on the positive terminal mine had an issue with seatbelt and airbag light and I replaced it, clear code and done

No you can't, you need a different software for that. Have a look at my video for service update. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pZp3qpBir7m7pGw.html

Can you be more specific, which part are you referring to exactly?

@@bmwsolutions7880 if you can check if the miles are real?

Sorry, these apps can't tell that.

@@bmwsolutions7880 Do you have any idea with which application I could see if there are real kilometers?

Unfortunately I couldn't find any software for it. We check MOT test certificate for milage reading in the UK.

What's wrong with your headlight?

@@bmwsolutions7880 “dipped beam left/right failure” I replaced headlight to led.

I would love to but I'm not a mechanic. Most of my Bmw knowledge comes from KZfaq and internet forums, so I suggest you do a research on Bmw led light conversion. I'm sure you'll find lots of useful information quickly.

@@chepocal17 need to change bulb type to LED altho I imagine you've done it now, given this was asked months ago!

You'd understand me perfectly if you used Carly or Carista apps 🥱
