Diagnose and Maintain Your BMW with bimmer-tool

bimmer-tool provides comprehensive diagnostic capabilities for BMW vehicles, including:

Key Features:

• Read and clear diagnostic trouble codes
• Monitor DPF regeneration status and initiate forced regeneration
• Reset DPF adaptation values after filter replacement
• Measure exhaust backpressure
• View injector compensation values
• Monitor critical engine parameters (air mass, manifold pressure, fuel pressure)
• Data logging to CSV files
• Battery registration
• Short circuit lamp reset
• Service interval resets (oil, brakes)

Connection Requirements: For optimal performance with pre-2008 models (including E46, E39, E83, E53), a K+DCan USB cable connection is required as wireless ELM adapters have limited functionality.

Recommended Adapters:

1. K+DCan USB cable (most reliable)
2. ENET cable/WiFi adapter (ideal for F/G series)
3. Bluetooth solutions:
   • Vgate vLinker MC/FS/BM/FD
   • UniCarScan UCSI-2000/2100 (set to D-Can MODE2)
   • Carista
   • Veepeak OBDCheck BLE

Getting Started:

1. Connect adapter to OBD-II port
2. Turn ignition ON
3. Establish connection:
   • USB: Connect via OTG cable
   • Bluetooth: Pair adapter (PIN usually 0000/1234)
   • WiFi: Disable mobile data, connect to adapter's network
4. Launch app and select vehicle details
5. Configure connection settings
6. Tap "Connect"

Troubleshooting Tips:

• For intermittent connection issues with pre-2008 models, try selecting ATWM in advanced settings

Recent Updates (v3.7.6-L):

• Added diesel idle speed adjustment
• Implemented throttle body control functionality

Note: The app requires standard hardware access permissions but does not track location data. Full network access is only needed for WiFi adapter functionality.
