I tried. Works great ! They release frequent updates with new features.
Depending on what you are looking for, you might have to buy their WiFi adapter. I would suggest you to try their lite version first.

I don't think so. Here is a list of what it can do:

So you just download app to your phone, conect via bluetooth and you can code? Or do you need and other gear/cable?

No, you need a OBDII WiFi adapter. There are many available at Amazon and eBay. But for the App to work fully, you need BMWhat WiFi adapter which you have to purchase directly from them.

I bought this from Amazon. It works, But for some complex coding (as they say), you need their adapter:

I have instructions to code for a new battery. PM me if you need them.

cuddapah: Did you happen to install the "digital speedometer" using the Amazon device?

Probably the only code change I'm interested in at the present time and not sure if that justifies the price of the BMWhat dongle.

Yes, "digital speedometer" can be enabled with Amazon device.

It's not really worth buying.

I just downloaded a cracked version for my android tablet and used a £3 blutooth adapter to enable the speedo.

If you pay the full £40 for the app you then need to buy their £30 adapter.
There's no reason an amazon device cant work for full coding, they just want to sap more cash out of you.

I agree with you. To enable features like 'windshield wipers complete full cycle', a message popped up saying such features require complex coding (!) and Amazon device does not support good connection and must get their own WiFi adapter. I did get their adapter and it works. I believe they added code in their App to require their adapter.

One more ...
I noticed that Engine/Motor ECU does not show up with normal settings and requires tweaked settings in App options. They talked me into buying their WiFi adapter. Result is same. Even their adapter requires tweaked settings for Engine/Motor ECU to show up. Now they say, they never saw a car like mine. BS !
