Carista OBD

Has anyone used Carista for BMW OBD programming?

https://caristaapp.com/vehicles/bmw/x5/G05

The only reason I’m asking is that I already own the adapter from using it to program my Audi. It says it’s compatible, but I’m curious if anyone has any first-hand knowledge with it for this vehicle.

It worked well enough, although it was kind of slow, and it requires a monthly subscription to unlock all features unfortunately, but you can cancel after one month once you have everything programmed.

I know there’s a Bimmercode thread nearby, as I’m posting this, but since I already own this, I’m curious if anyone else used it?

Thanks.

Considering the linked page clearly and explicitly shows that "Customizations" are not supported on G05X5, it seems invalid to compare it against Bimmercode at this time. I interpret "Customizations" as coding: Bimmercode does that for G05X5 (and many others), Carista does not at this time from their own indications.

If, instead, you're interested in just the diagnostics that Carista seems to offer, why not just try it since you already have it.

Yeah I just saw that...

I thought the customizations might be hidden behind a paywall (like it was for Audi), but it doesn’t appear that way.
