I was able to verify this only after the mechanic registered the battery with Autologic. Then when I fired up EITHER Carly or Schwaben....I was able to see the new recorded registration mileage. furthermore, in Schwaben, I was able to confirm that past battery voltage history was properly reset as well. So this is not a flame on Carly...as I see the same issue with Schwaben. Both tools are still ok, but just wanted to alert members to their limitations. |

Remember everything need to be updated! The Carly PRO App AND the Carly OBD Gen II Adapter. As for me, as already stated just a little more into detail: I also used Carly on my M3 E92 and still use it on my M4 F82 and it works flawlessly, besides one situation where my carly OBD adapter went down south wich got replaced in no time for free. ( life time warranty on all electronical components of the Carly Adapter ) For now these are the common things I love to code on my or other peoples cars, besides the used car check or diagnosis in general: Did it on 1, 2, 3 and 4 series ( just had to update the app ) Used car check US parking light / Sidemaker Brightness Angel Eyes Daytime running lights tail lights Brake Force Display (flashing brake light) Exhaust flap remote Battery registration Seat belt reminder chime deactivation DVD in motion Cold start delete Anti-theft alarm system: alarm sound (US or EU mode), acoustic signal for lock/ unlock Start/ stop deactivation And to get back to battery registering: The Carly PRO App along with an OEM Carly OBD Gen II adapter has to be used ( and to be updated ) to achieve the focused coding goal. I did it that way and everything always worked like a charm. Last edited by vsix; 12-19-2017 at 02:59 PM.. |

2) Brake Force Display (BFD) coding from Carly does NOT work on the E9x M3. Carly has confirmed on this issue. So please do not just cut & paste the generic "what can be coded" list that Carly gives by BMW model series. There are model-specific coding compatibility nuances that are not disclosed. 3) I think Carly does a nice job of reading and resetting fault codes...and is definitely the most user-friendly....especially for coding cosmetic stuff (like lights, DVD, etc). It is like an iPhone. The Schwaben does seem to give more features regarding i) adaptation reset, ii) stored values in the DME, iii) even their OBD2 diagnosis can show how many recorded misfires per Cylinder. But even the Schwaben tool cannot do battery registration...so for those looking to register their battery they need to go with other more expensive or complex options. Just stating the facts here. But even here on the Schwaben, it cannot do the Battery registration. |

I’m changing my battery tomorrow with a Bosch one and figured I’d still take a $10 gamble on Carly |

I think they only allow for coding to even number increments....so it will be coded as 90AH on the DME. Please let us know how this goes and hopefully we can get more feedback on this. Note the battery registration mileage before you register (shown in km and not miles). Then after you "successfully register) the battery....go back in the Carly app and read the battery status again. If you only see the original mileage shown, then it did not work. If you see a new mileage entry, then the app worked. |

Sorry for missunderstanding. In this day and age, specially regarding Apps, so called updates do the complete magic. So I believe Carly is anyhow working on all kind of new updates, basically we all are always just one update away of a new option or feature I would suggest you to do an update of your Carly App and make sure you have the original Carly Gen II adapter. Carly also mentioned that we can contact them and give them suggestions what to move forward on their priority list. Even heard that they managed to (release?) engine and transmission tuning files for Diesel BMW‘s. Crazy stuff going on right now at carlies... And as I said the coolest part is, I allready have everything I just need a freaking update. With this said —>Hopefully they manage to do this kind of magic to our ///M platform!

Who can confirm that battery registration worked on a 2011+ and was able to be ready in the history log?

I recently purchased Carly for the main purpose of registering my new battery in my 2009 M3 and I am having the same issue. Carly says it has successfully registered my battery but it shows no registration history. I tried waiting a few days and checking it again but still no registration shows up. I've tried to register it 2 more times and each time it says it completed successfully but there is no registration history.
I'm pretty disappointed that I spent over $130 on the Carly app + battery feature and the Carly adapter and now it may not even be working. A couple days ago I contacted Carly support thru the app and attached my logs and explained the behavior I'm seeing when trying to register my new battery and today I received this response: "yes we have see that in some rare cases there is a problem. We work on it and we will release a update in the near future to give a solution." |

- reset throttle adaptations - reset my EDC if I ever have to replace it (knock on wood) - Get pretty good diagnostic insight for debugging misfires....they have a cool log of how many misfires you may have had (on a per cylinder basis) etc So moral of the story: 1) use Carly for basic Error code scanning and resetting. Carly is much better than Schwaben here imo (from a UI and interface perspective) 2) Use Schwaben to reset engine and chassis control modules (like TBAs, EDC, etc) 3) For battery registration...suck it up and pay a mechanic to do this. Cost me only $75 for the mechanic to reset with Autologic. Then verify that they indeed do the work using Schwaben. |

Hopefully you can get this registered without spending too much. Cost me $75 with my mechanic......so yes, was charged 1/2 hr labor for something that probably takes 5 min to do.

That’s sad because I know for a fact people on android have gotten refunded for poor in app purchases and I’ve read stories of children accidentally making a ton of IAPs and apple making a goodwill refund. I expect the same response my plan is to say customer support is why I stay with Apple instead of Android if not then can always despute the charge with the credit card or bank

Carly emailed me saying that the app does register batteries but on some cars it doesn’t read the log of registered batteries, I suppose to test that someone would have to get their car scanned after the Carly registration to see if it shows in their reader

So do what I did to verify: 1) Buy Schwaben/Foxwell NT510 scanner 2) Try to register battery with Schwaben.....and you too will get a false-positive "battery success" message with them. Additionally, you will notice that the mileage is NOT reset either using Schwaben. Nor will your battery voltage hrs per voltage range be reset either. So basically Schwaben doesn't work either for registering the battery, but provides another independent verification that the Carly BMW didn't do sh** for battery registration. 3) Then take your car to a mechanic to do the battery reset correctly 4) Then verify the battery registration with the Schwaben scanner. You will see that the battery mileage (new one) is properly recorded and the battery voltage hrs reset to 0 5) Then verify with your Carly BMW tool. Low and behold, you will see that the new battery mileage is recorded. So this is nothing to do with the battery log not being read...as obviously the scanner is reading the log now. EOM. |
