Some coding won't work with non genuine generation 2 Carly dongle, I think they have an interface between the dongle and the software to make you buy the genuine article. I tried a cheap wifi OBDS wifi dongle. It came up with the warning on screen that certain coding wouldn't be possible without the Generation 2 Carly adapter.
I ordered the correct item off their web site £50 it's worked perfectly every time I use it.

Thanks, I just read some third party ones may not have full functions

Also just checked the full app is £35 too

55 euro plus 9 euro postage

Something I want but need to put funds on new parts first

You can do a lot with the free version of the App too. Carly Lite
