Good video thanks and well done for not over selling it. I see a lot of youtubers really pushing to sell it and you didn't so appreciate that.

@peacefulbliss8716 Hi, thanks for your comment I really appreciate it! Thanks for noticing I really didn't want it to be a sales video more of a look into Carly Diagnostics. As you can see from the comments below it has mixed reviews.

Good to know about subscription fee.None of the reviews I watched mentioned that😮

@KD-re3mq Yeah, it seems a lot of people get caught out by it and it automatically renews every 12 months.

Carly isn't that great for the money and always seems to show fault codes that aren't present in other software. Plus it operates on an auto renew annual subscription buried in the terms and conditions that you have to agree to. They give you no notice when it's up for renewal and customer support is awful. Especially at trying to get my money back!

Will this allow me to retract the piston on an electronic parking brake? BMW X1 xdrive

@TheBimmerFixer 11 ай бұрын

@Revel83 Good question! I believe it does but I'm not 100%. You can always use a 9v battery with two wires placing them where the electrical connection/plug is and the brake will retract. Just switch the wires back around to reverse the polarity and the piston will move back in. 👍🏻

I got this a few months back if you have a Seat don't bother. Customer service answer questions with questions and then offer you a 20% refund. Brought up 16 codes on my 2year old car most of them serious enough for me to take it to the main dealer and the dealer scanned and zero faults found. Kept asking me for logs which I kept sending and just more questions I'd already answered. Tried coding 3 Seats and not one would code with carly only the lap timer. Carly told me Seats and Vw's are notoriously hard to code and at this point I asked for a refund to which I was told no

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.

@mobri2a Hi, yeah it must catch a lot of people out. Needs to change!

@shaking6360 2 ай бұрын

It's a stupid way to run a company, it should be a lifetime subscription without any yearly fee, a $5 update fee would be acceptable. But not the full purchased fee!

@TheBimmerFixer 2 ай бұрын

@shaking6360 I agree! This is why people leave them so quickly or get caught out with the auto renewal. It's hurt them in the long run.

@fishwagt1514 2 ай бұрын

I've just been ripped off by them and I am stuck with them for a year. No refunds are available once you have agreed to their terms and conditions. They go out of their way on their website, not to tell you that this is a recurring subscription. There is small print at the bottom of the payment page telling you that you are bound by the terms and conditions which is easily missed. What is actually happening is they are using German law and you are entering into a rental agreement with them. Cowboys

To me it’s not worth the money. I bought one last year and it was not possible to do such thing as register a new battery in a e66. That’s a very basic function that should work. Also take into account that the fee is annual. Not just a onetime cost.

I received this unit today after seeing it recommended by Mat Armstrong. I got it specifically to activate watching video on the TFT display whilst parked, a function which Mat said it could do. I have watched many vids on KZfaq about Carly‘s functionality, and none mentioned freeing up the screen to watch video content. Can you do this with Carly? Thanks 👍

There is no OBD or even scanner will be able to work on mercedes since 2021/2022 since merceds locked their ECUs on all their car and I have Carly and many other scanners and their providers says this on their websites. Too bad.

What do you think of Bimmer Code / Link / Tool? I find their one off payment is a nice touch over Carly's monthly sub. Would you be able to do a comparison about these if you have them all, compared to Carly. Many thanks.

@TheBimmerFixer Жыл бұрын

@Termi-Motovlogs Hi there thanks for the comment. I've seen it and it looks pretty good! I would love to do a comparison video between the 2. I think I will reach out to Bimmer Code to see if they would be interested. I didn't know they were an one off payment too, thats very interesting!

@Termi-Motovlogs Жыл бұрын

Code is for sadly coding, link is diagnostics both by SG Software. Bimmer Tool is by the same name and seems to provide a similar service to Carly but with a 1 off payment. More entry level and safe coding / diagnostics. Thankyou again for all your videos, my e60 is slowly getting there with your advice and instructions.

Would this allow me to activate rear fog lights for EU? I have moved my North American x3 G01 to Spain and I need to activate the rear fog lights. I also have to turn off the front orange lights that come on when the car is running. Any possible insight on these issues?

@TheBimmerFixer 6 ай бұрын

@RossBayCult Yeah I believe you can, I would double check with Carly and have it in writing though. A subscriber bought a Carly adapter and it didn't do something it said it could do so best to be safe and check. Also be aware there is a yearly subscription that automatically renews with Carly so if its just those things you were changing there might be better options.
