What can it do for my 2013 E70?

Fold mirrors on lock?

Anything else?

Look at their website for details, it can do all sorts.  Take a look at their free Lite app for an idea.
It really is a good product, I have been very happy with the dongle and app.

I have it, but not tried anything.

Any must-haves? Was not sure about the mirror folding in case the car is frozen so might not want it to fold each time.

What are the cool features we can have?

Any lists anywhere?

Can you mess anything up that can't be reversed?

When you set up folding mirrors on Carly, you have to alter settings in two modules, one of the settings denotes how long a press you have to give on the lock button on the fob, so you can set to two seconds or more. So if you don't always want to fold in the mirrors you just make sure you lock as normal and don't depress the fob for two seconds, that's what I did on my 3 series.

Lite app is just a demo really. Just to show people how easy the app is to use, and that it is compatible with your car

Cant get it to connect Grrrr!!

It started off asking for an update, which it couldn't perform, and now has all lights on permanently and can't connect.

Been looking forward to playing with it.

Any advice, the website seems to have lots of info, but not for what I need.

Very disappointed with it if I am honest.

Cant get functions working eve though coding was "successful".

Just tried coding a few more bits and it's actually stopped doing one of the functions I wanted which was previously coded.

Unless I am doing it all wrong of course?!

I think its brilliant - has worked well with everything I have tried and is really easy to use, but you do have to change several things to get some coding to work, it isn't too clear on that.
Overall its soooo much better than that 1.4.0 thing that needed XP laptop and cables and stuff and was quite awkward, also much nicer than the old Resler and Navcoder (remember that blast from the past??)
