I’ve been trying to connect BimmerCode with my ENET cable to code some features on my BMW, but I’m running into some issues.

Here are the details of what’s happening:

  • The connection fails consistently after multiple attempts.
  • My cable seems to be fine and works with other tools.
  • I’ve ensured that my smartphone is compatible and has the latest version of BimmerCode installed.
  • I’ve followed the setup instructions but just can’t seem to get it to work.

Things I’ve Tried:

  • Switching USB ports and cables
  • Restarting both my smartphone and the device
  • Ensuring that Bluetooth is turned off while connecting

I’m wondering if anyone else has encountered similar issues or has solutions that worked? Any tips on settings I should check or potential compatibility issues with BimmerCode? I would appreciate any advice, as I’m eager to get started with coding my vehicle. Thanks in advance!

I’m having similar issues with my ENET cable and BimmerCode. Have you checked if your cable is the right version for your model? Not all cables are compatible!

Sometimes the cable just needs a bit of a wiggle! :joy: Try unplugging and replugging, and make sure you’re on the right network.

4

Lol! Wiggling definitely works! But on a serious note, what software version are you using? Sometimes updating can solve the issue.

It’s essential to ensure that your phone and the ENET cable are recognized by the car’s system. If they’re not listed, try a different cable.

6

Great point! I also noticed that sometimes certain devices take longer to be recognized. Patience is key!

7

Have you checked the permissions in your app? Sometimes granting full storage access can resolve connectivity errors.

8

I think it also helps to clear the app cache if you are having issues. It’s surprising how often that helps!

I never thought about that! But I’ve also read that not all ENET cables are created equal, so buying a reputable brand matters.

10

Indeed! A low-quality cable could lead to headaches. Did you know some cables even have fake branding? Make sure you buy from trusted sources! :upside_down_face:

I’ve heard some people having issues with older phones. If you’re using an older device, maybe consider trying it on another phone? Just to rule it out.

12

That’s a good idea! I’ve often wondered why we cling to old tech when new models are available! :joy:

13

Just remember, troubleshooting is part of the fun, right? It gives you more reason to love the car once it works!

14

Definitely! Think of it as bonding time with your car. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: But still, all this tech can be quite the headache sometimes.

Ah, tech and cars - a love-hate relationship, isn’t it? Anyway, let’s keep sharing our tips!

I’ve had issues connecting my BimmerCode with an ENET cable, but I found that using a specific USB port on my laptop made a difference. Try using a USB 2.0 port if you can; it helped me stabilize the connection.

17

I had a similar problem! I switched to a different ENET cable, and that resolved my issues completely. Sometimes it’s just a matter of the cable itself!

18

Make sure your firewall or antivirus isn’t blocking the connection. I had to set exceptions for BimmerCode in order to connect successfully. Worth checking!

That’s a great tip! I had a similar issue, and once I disabled my antivirus, it connected right away.

I’ve noticed that using the latest version of BimmerCode really helps with the connection stability. Always keep it updated!
