Order the adapter straight from them (ivini/iCarly?), and get the app from your app store on your phone.

If you don't have the lighting package then the computer thinks you don't have angel eyes and will use your high beams for DRL's, this won't work with your new set up. With the app you can tell the computer the correct set up.

My only learning point to share with coding is if you have Android and are going the Bluetooth route, get their version 2 adapter as that will allow you to make changes to the iDrive configurations. I have the version 1 and it can't handle it.
Thanks vstolpner. I do not have the lighting package as well as iDrive.

I have iOS and I checked out this carly Adapter on Amazon and unfortunately they don't ship to my location . Is there any other good chinese alternative to this as I believe any OBD adapter will work. It's the app that matters.

Also I read somewhere that they do some kind of remote coding from China. How does this work ?
