Bimmercode Adapters
Has anyone been able to code a G05 with this adapter: Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+
I bought this one after reviewing some posts, but now think it's the wrong one for the G05. Wanted to check here before returning it. Can someone also suggest one that has worked well with iOS and G05? Thanks

We're going to need a new sub-forum for coding your bum.
ObTopic: I use OBDLink MX+ as the BT interface for Bimmercode, Bummercode, and others on G05 and both iOS and Android and it works well. Lightning-to-Ethernet adapter and ESys Ethernet interface is slightly less convenient and less reliable, but man is it fast — makes rapid fire what-if hacks a breeze.

I use the OBDLink, I have the cheaper LX model and never had an issue with it on Android, you have to get the MX+ if you use an iphone.

I am looking at adapters, but and torn (might end up getting both). The reviews for the MX+ are awesome, but it seems there's limitations versus the Ethernet/OBDII set up. The reviews on Amazon or the Ethernet/OBDII were a bit spotty in terms of build quality. Anyone recommend one over the other? Getting real tired of the stuff ASS function. It's a pain in the ASS (couldn't resist!) every time I get in the car.

Answers above can help a recommendation, but getting to know you through your posts, I would guess OBDLink MX+ is the way to go for you.

Do follow Bimmercode instructions — Airplane Mode on, no other BT device connected (particularly not the car) other than OBDLink MX+.

LexxM3 you hit the nail on the head. I really don't think jumping right into ESys without understanding some of the basics would be a good idea. I just want to do things right, and it seems the MX+ with Bimmercode is a good start. Plus, I don't have an ethernet port on my laptop (thanks Apple!), so thats another USB-C to ethernet adapter! Thanks for the help!

LexxM3 I want looking to get the MX+ on Amazon, but it went back up to $80...it was 20 or 25% off earlier. Scantool.com has it for $60, but I am lazy and use Amazon. Given that...the ethernet/OBDII and ethernet/lightning are much cheaper together. Would you pay the extra for the MX+ or get the other set up and have the option to go down the ESys road?
Definitely overthinking this...hence why I never started coding! |

Any other handy Bimmercode options to consider while I am in there?
