Original Carly WIFI GEN 2 OBD Adapter for iPhone - BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Renault, Toyota

Having originally purchased an OBD II to Lan cable and obtained a copy of ESYS, I was not happy coding on a programme I was not familiar with, and you can do some serious damage to your ECU, rendering your car drive less, Carly for BMW has been a breath of fresh air, it’s so easy to use and you are safeguarded knowing that a back is obtainained and stored prior to any coding you undertake, i paid for the full version, and coded my BMW 4 series only to have a sidelight failure, but there’s no need to worry with Carly, as the pre-coding condition of the ECU is stored on a file, you simply hit restore and load the settings back into the ECU, after turning engine off and on again, the faults had gone, also I was having an intermittent stalling issue, when I scanned for faults on my 4 Series I had no less than 17 faults, some suggestions of power issues, I reset the faults via Carly which was so simple and re-scanned again for faults, this time the car reported no faults on my car, and it has been fine since. I also find the app and OBD II connector works flawlessly over Wi-Fi, and the Carly app is very quick and responsive. Yep

Great product, only drawback is the price. If you want to make only a few minor changes to your car you still need to make a full year subscription purchase. Should be optional 1,3 and maybe a 6month subscription available for more temporary use.

As someone who frequently works on and troubleshoots various makes of vehicles, the Carly WIFI GEN 2 OBD Adapter caught my eye with its claims of universal compatibility and the promise of cutting-edge diagnostics. The prospect of a single adapter that could handle everything from BMWs to Toyotas was certainly appealing. After giving this adapter a thorough test across multiple car brands, I can say that it generally delivers on its core functionality. The setup process was straightforward, and I was able to quickly connect it to my iPhone and begin accessing valuable vehicle data through the Carly app. The fault reporting and used-car-check features proved to be quite useful, providing detailed insights that helped me better understand the health and history of the vehicles I was working on. However, the performance of the adapter was a bit of a mixed bag. While it worked reliably with some makes and models, I did encounter occasional connectivity issues and inconsistent data readings with others. The lifetime warranty is a nice perk, but it doesn't entirely make up for the frustration of having to troubleshoot glitches in the middle of a diagnostic session. "Customers say" the quality and accuracy of this adapter are hit-or-miss, and I can't help but agree. It's a capable device that can be a valuable tool, but the inconsistent performance keeps me from giving it an unequivocal recommendation. Overall, I'd rate the Carly WIFI GEN 2 OBD Adapter a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars. 🌟🌟🌟✨ It's a versatile and feature-rich adapter that will likely work well for many users, but the occasional hiccups and the need for some trial-and-error troubleshooting may be a dealbreaker for those who require a seamless, reliable experience. If you're willing to put in a bit of extra effort, this could be a worthwhile investment. Otherwise, you may want to explore other, potentially more consistent OBD adapters on the market.

Very expensive considering you can get similar adapters on eBay for about £5 but it works well

Great little adaptor but the app is not that good for BMW and needs a lot of work . Also will have been better if it give you help on what things you need to switch off when you do your coding to be able to switch on other features .

Well I made a mistake when I purchased this. This is a big con by "Carly" to force you to buy multiple adaptors and multiple versions of the app's. The Adaptors are the same other than 1 has a wi-fi module and the other has Bluetooth. My Android phone will connect to the "iPhone" version and I would imagine that an iPhone would connect to the Android version but I am not sure since I don't own any Apple products. The App on my Android phone will not connect to the Adaptor because Carly have designed it to only connect via Bluetooth instead of allowing it to connect via Bluetooth or wi-fi. That is simply to force people to buy multiple adaptors and multiple app's, I can understand about the app's as some people will only need it for 1 manufacturer, but come on seriously how pathetic is it to force an adaptor to only work on one platform, when it clearly does not need to be locked to just one platform. Luckily my brother has an iPhone and the app so I will be able to use his phone and app, but if he didn't then I would have to return this or go and get a 2nd hand iPhone or iPad because the manufacturers are so greedy, in milking people by forced incompatibility that does not need to be an issue. Not impressed at all, look elsewhere for your adaptors and software especially if you use multiple devices.

Very good for BMW’s. gives you the proper Bmw code and not an interpreted code from other code readers. 2nd one I have purchased as I lost the first!!!!

First purchased my Carly adapter back in November 2018, at first it was a great piece of kit to use, very simple to do basic commands and functions, I wanted this to clear and read errors codes on my e92 and it did do that job great, WiFi can sometimes be a bit dodgy but most of the time it worked fine. The first negative was the yearly subscription cost to use all the features with the app.....I didn't know until I purchased my Carly adapter that you would have to pay every year to use the full version and it's not cheap either, but I bit the bullet and purchased the full version. Now the real disappointment, after approximately 9 months in using Carly one day my login wouldn't work and Carly basically told me I wasn't a registered member! Used the same email address and password without any problems and then that happened. So I emailed Carly support, didn't hear a thing after 3 days another email sent.....still nothing, so another email sent, I finally heard back from support telling me I must of used a different email/login and my profiles "weren't sync'd" so basically no help what so ever, tried again but eventually gave up. So not only was my login useless I lost 3 months worth of my PAID subscription, no refund, no sorry etc from Carly. I'm now using INPA/NCS and wish I had never bothered with Carly, it takes some getting used to but it's worth it and much better....and the best part is no subscription fee's. Carly is a good product however the subscription side of things and lack of customer support seriously need to be looked at.
