Hmm, I've not had any probs with the (android version) Carly app, although as said, some things require several boxes to be ticked in order for them to work, seems strange when you see it, but I presume there are several "switches" that need to be activated in the ECU's etc.

I take it you are turning the car off and back on again after coding? Have you tried re-reading the settings to see if they remain selected?

I've got 2 bluetooth adaptors and although both seem to connect to Carly neither find any ECUs.

I know Carly is fussy (i.e. crap) with most bluetooth adaptors, is anyone here using a non 'official' one?

Why does a manufacturer requiring you use their hardware make it 'crap'?

It's best to use their own adapter, I had a generic one and although it connected the functions didn't work.
I ordered their one and not had a problem since. 
I've been using it for the past 2 years and bloody love it, it's saved me a small fortune.
