I have Ista for diag that I run Windows ARM64 VM on MacBook M1. I am looking to to do anti-dazzle coding on my G05.

I read that ProTool is not able to code all the modules needed so have to do thru E-sys and when I read modules with ESYS they are all shortcode (just see dots). SO I need a launcher, and BimmerUtility doesnt support ARM processors nor Virtualized environments.

Is there a solution any solution short of HAVING to get a Windows laptop.?

Alos is ProTool planning on including full anti dazzle coding capability?

Thanks !

I use both Bimmercode for most everything and then Bimmerutility for the other stuff that BC doesn't do or see. I use a Samsung tablet with an enet cable and usb-c adapter.

I guess a very limited amount of configs can be done on bimmerutility on Android, and you need to use Bimmerutility along with Esys on Windows machine or full coding capabilities?

You're partially correct. BU for mobile sorta sucks. You CANNOT backup (I confirmed with them) and it is confusing as hell. It's also not easy to use since the updated UI came out. The search functionality completely blows. For example, if you're looking for something in BDC, you now have to search each of the 7 modules within it. BC makes it easy by searching the entire BDC (in this example). VO coding isn't intuitive and doesn't always work. It also switches between the easy and expert views and also does this when searching. Another thing it does is instantly do stuff upon tapping, so I ended up resetting my entire BDC awhile back. So yeah I guess IT REALLY sucks actually lol. BU mobile sucks but the Windows version is better from what I hear.

BU has e-sys built-in, so full coding is possible if you can figure it out. It is not a 'safe' app in my opinion.
