Carly coding for your BMW E87

With Carly, coding is easier than ever. You can make your car more unique with your smartphone by enabling or disabling existing features, such as the start-stop system. With the Carly app, you can adjust as many settings as you want in just a few seconds, and you can also reset to the original settings at any time.

Normally, coding in the car is performed by mechanics in a workshop for a fee. With Carly, you save on these costs and can code your car yourself to save time and money!

Whether you want to change the interior or exterior of your car, with the Carly OBD scanner and app, anything is possible. Since every car is unique, the available codings vary depending on the car model.

Some of the possible codings are:

Alarm system

With Carly OBD scanner you can customize various functions of the alarm system. You can activate or deactivate the panic alarm with the remote control by pressing and holding the “unlock trunk” button. Likewise, you can operate the anti-theft alarm system only with the remote control or additionally with the locks.

Additionally, you can trigger the panic alarm by pressing and holding the “Unlock Tailgate” button. Audible confirmations for locking and unlocking the vehicle can also be activated or deactivated.

The Carly OBD scanner also allows you to customize the type of alarm and flashing lights during an alarm, such as dimmed headlights, high beams, or warning lights. You can set the alarm type to Europe, USA or UK.

With the Carly OBD scanner, you can also activate menus for audible confirmations when locking and unlocking the vehicle in the iDrive. Note, however, that this only works if an “Anti Theft Alarm System” is installed, as the sound is generated by the siren of the anti-theft alarm system and not by the horn.

Angel Eyes and brake lights with the Carly OBD scanner:

It is also possible to use the Carly OBD scanner to customize the settings for Angel Eyes (also known as Corona rings) and brake lights. You can use the Angel Eyes as daytime running lights by setting the “Daytime Running Lights” to “Active” and “Daytime Running Lights – Customization” to “Auxiliary Lights Only”. The brightness of the Angel Eyes can be adjusted for different situations such as daytime running lights, parking lights and parking lights.

For cars with FRM2 or FRM3 modules (installed in the 1 series (E8x) from about 06/2007) there are alternative codings for brightness adjustment of the Angel Eyes, if the standard codings do not work.

The Carly OBD scanner also allows you to customize the brake lights. You can activate a brake force indicator where the brake lights come on or flash when braking hard. The minimum speed threshold and the flashing speed for the brake force display can also be adjusted.

Additionally, you can customize the brake force display for different lights, such as angel eyes, outer brake lights, inner brake lights, third brake light (rear window), tail lights and rear fog lights. To be able to use these options, you must activate the “Brake force display”.

Overall, the Carly OBD scanner allows you to customize your vehicle’s lighting settings and enable or disable various Angel Eyes and brake light functions according to your preferences.
