Using my Bimmercode app & plug in on another G20

andy5468 · 08-11-2021, 11:31 AM

This may be an obvious question, but is there any reason I cannot use my Bimmercode App and plug in device on a friends G20?

I have only ever used the app and device on my own car and my friend has asked me if I can do some coding on their car.

I have checked that Bimmercode stores the backup (some coding is only possible to revert using the backup) named with the car VIN. I have only used it on one car but from what I read from other users it should work for several cars.

Also noted that Bimmercode web page clarifies that it is OK to use the same license on several phones on the same platform (Android/Android or iPhone/iPhone).

Yup. I have two BMWs at home too and can code both with the same app.
