[COLOR="Red"]1. Buy a Bluetooth based ODBLink LX/MX/MX+ adapter module. This plugs into the car's diagnostic/ECU port in the driver footwell.
2. Get Bimmercode App on your phone. (I use an Android/Samsung s10)
3. Plug the OBDLink adaptor into the diagnostic port.
4. Press the Start/Stop button in your car three times in quick succession to put the car into Diagnostic mode.
5. Put your phone into "Flight/Aeroplane" mode, then enable only Bluetooth.
5. Run Bimmercode. Your phone will use Bluetooth to connect to the car through the OBDLink Adapter. Once connected, you will see the ECUs supported for the G05 listed.
6. Start coding [/COLOR]
The MX+ app is not needed to code the car, just BimmerCode.
Not needed to code but needed to connect the adapter to your phone via Bluetooth. You use it once and then are done with it.
Thanks for the correction. I forgot that too quickly
