It is ...

I contacted the developer and he suggested I buy the unit from his website
http://www.ivini-apps.com/wifi-obd-dongle.html

I want something local instead of from Germany.

BMWhat works just fine on the E89 Z4

I used an ELM 327 wifi module I found on Ebay to code mine. Initially the app had trouble communicating with the modules, but once I disabled my JB4 (set it to map 0) I was able to code CAS, FRM, IHKA and KOMBI modules.

Confirmed coded on E89:

CAS: Comfort fold/unfold mirrors
FRM: Comfort fold/unfold mirrors
FRM: Hazard lights double flash
KOMBI: Digital speedometer
KOMBI: Digital speedometer correction
KOMBI: Speedometer correction
KOMBI: Permanent speedometer lighting
KOMBI: Ignition key warning

Can you read all lines like you do in NCS Expert or is the coding specified by the app? I have a USB/usbmicro and a working DCAN+ usb/obd cable and maybe i will give it a go if its easier than NCS.

Its easier than NCS Expert but limited to only coding features/modules that have been included in the app. For example you can't disable the iDrive nag screen with it.

Thanks, I sent them an email they also told me that with the new update in 2014 you can also change the hardtop opening speed and many more.

Does using this App to make changes void warranty ?
