Also unfamiliar with it. Does it jeopardize the warranty at all?

I would recommend getting the UniCarScan adapter from Germany.It is the one the App developer recommends and it worked perfectly coding my wife’s G30 540i and my X7.

Make sure you get the right one for OS. Some work better with iPhone and some with Android

I was looking at Amazon. What the difference between the OBDLink LX vs MX vs MX+

Why buy one over another?

Honestly, no clue but since it will be used for bimmercode I just got the one they list as supported figuring they knew best.

According to this table:
http://www.obdlink.com/lxbt/

The only different between the OBDLink LX vs MX vs MX+ is that the MX supports GMLAN and Ford Medium-Speed. And the MX+ has free OEM add-ons.

I am going with the LX. https://amzn.to/2wEKLGk

Ahh. I use Apple so it's not on our approved list. Assume you have Android?

Yes, I have an Android. Looks like your only option is the MX+.

Unless you can borrow an Android phone from a friend.

Limited options
WiFi/bt connection that can fail and screw up car
No way to fix it if mess up with app

P.S. I work for little search engine startup in silicon valley.

I purchased the OBDLink LX and the bimmercode app for android.

The only trick is that you need to put the G series in diagnostic mode before trying to change any setting. (Three quick pushes of the start button without your foot on the brake.)

Works perfectly.

Good tip

What did you change? And did you use G20 or G30 in the app?
