UPDATE: Its working GREAT again after I made this review.SURE WISH THE APP WAS ALL IN ENGLISH! Worked great with the bluetooth till the bluetooth adapter failed. Been 3 months and I'm still waiting for the replacement. I figured out how to use the hardwire set up and that worked good for a minute....now it wont connect to any type of BMW. I work on BMW'S for a living and this tool has failed me!
Reviews for ProTool
Would be nice if I was able to code even without being connected to the car, then upload my changes once connected. Haven't used the app extensively yet but seems very powerful and I don't think there is anything even close to this, apart from a laptop with all the necessary tools loaded.
Becareful before buying a cable and using this app. You want to really need it ! Coding liscense is crazy expensive for canadian and don't worth it. You guys should totally do like odveleven for VW/audi : credit per code. All I wanted is angel eye as drl. Ive bought your cable thinking it would be one click code, it should come at least with some advantages. 70$ instead of 20$ for a cheap working one on amazon... Installed NCS instead on my pc. This app is now useless for me, not muchIcandofree.
Love the app. A little hard to understand some of the coding processes, BUT tech support is AWESOME!! BimmerGeeks was very easy to reach and remotely connected to my car and assisted me with with every issue I had. I purchased the master license, and I'd say money well spent. Thanks BimmerGeeks!!
This program gives you full access to diagnostics and data in real-time, even as gauges in many cases. The coding features are very useful and the only way to complete certain jobs. The company is very, very responsive in their Facebook group, and I have had several direct conversations with them via messenger when I had questions.
I have to say, I was a bit skeptical about this app, especially with the price tag, but that quickly diminished when I was able to code out my LCI taillights on my E92 m3 and mirror folding with fob my wife's X5 using a cable from Amazon. I reached out to their support team on FB and was surprised how quickly they responded too. I only bought the coding license but I will also be buying the diagnostic license.
Definitely needs update I have been asking them to do it for the last 4 months but nothing. can't reset maintenance, program battery, and many of the maintenance functions. Loved this app and everything used to work but hasn't in quite sometime now. And yes I uninstalled the app and everything nothing works even connected them and they been working on it for months. What gives.
I've found this app provides very impressive functionality, especially for the money. I can't imagine that anyone that has actually used it for what it's intended to do isn't extremely impressed. I've pushed many of my professional BMW technician friends to give it a try and they've all been very happy with it. Features and functions can be inconsistent from one model or platform to another but if you understand how BMWs work and how they are developed you understand why that is the case.
The app occasionally requires internet connection and refuses to work without it, with no way to bypass, right as I'm needing it to troubleshoot my car hundreds of miles away from nearest cell tower. The app was a good start, but suffers from poor quality of user interface... ***edited: updated my review based on developer's response (yay! First time since my initial review). 3 stars for now, until the "no internet lockout" issue is fixed.
Search through the whole app. Very impressed however I could not buy a license. Not that I didn't have credit or credit cards. When I signed in using my Google account it wouldn't go to anything else it like froze up. Good night contact bimmergeeks because I do not do any kind of Facebook or other social networks. Maybe if I could buy a license I could give it a better rating. Had to purchase a different tool in order to do what I needed to do to my bimmer.
