I never experienced disconnection or issues yet with Mx+. It is just slow but fits the small storage box by the driver side.

That is another thing..... Regarding diagnostic mode, both when I used my older Vgate WiFi adapter and now the Ethernet/ENET cable combo, my X7 automatically went into diagnostic mode each time I connected. It did it before I tried to access any ECU even though diagnostic mode is only required when accessing the DME. During the initial connection to BimmerCode, I got the indication in the dash and a notification on the iDrive screen that my X7 was in diagnostic mode. Do you guys need to manually go into diagnostic mode? |
It has recently been noted by others that modern Bimmercode automatically starts Diagnostic Mode and I just tested that to also be the case for my current setup as well with Bimmercode 3.5 on iOS. That is a brand new behaviour, used to require manual invocation of Diagnostic Mode. More here:
