Great question, and great kid you have there! Even if you’re not too familiar with smartphones, I’m happy to say that the Carly app is easy to use.
To use Carly for your BMW, start by downloading the app. Here’s what to do next:
Pair your phone with the adapter. Making sure your ignition is on, go to Settings, then Bluetooth if you have an iPhone. For an Android, go to Settings, then Connections, then Bluetooth, and select Choose Bluetooth. Turn on your Bluetooth (if it’s off), and then hit Search Devices.
After that, no matter which smartphone you have, choose Carly Adapter from the list of available devices, and enter 1234 as the pairing code.
Go to the Carly for BMW app and select Connections at the bottom. From there, select Bluetooth, as well as your specific BMW chassis.
Try running a diagnostics scan. Go back to the app’s home page and select Diagnostics, then choose full system scan. If the app returns any error codes, read through them to understand the issues that the app is spotting, and then clear them. If not, you’re all set and your car has a clean bill of health.
While it’s always important to make sure your car is in good working order, it’s a good idea to make sure your car insurance is working well for you, too. To get the best deal on the coverage you need, download the Jerry
app while you’re in the App Store. All you need to do is fill out some information about yourself and your car, and we’ll get you personalized quotes from top providers in seconds. Then, just choose the plan that works best for you and we’ll help with every step of switching over.
Best of luck with setting up your adapter—you’ve got this!
