Default BMWhat app

Hi

Can anybody tell me the difference between the light app and the paying app.
They work with the same wifi OBD dongle i assume ?


Can i check with BMWhat if the milage is tampered with or real ?


Thx
Patrick

The light all just pulls codes, full app will allow you to clear codes and code the car.
Unsure about the mileage.

Apparently you can check the milage also by the regeneration data from the diesel partikel filter ? This data is also stored i heard.

I bought the app. 41 for cables from BMWhat company (from amazon), 59 bucks for the app, and I bought the ability to register the battery for around 12.

It works, I like it. Coding is fairly easy. The website explains everything too. It clears codes etc. Its nice. I hope they add the ability to code other stuff as well. I wanted to code lights but apparently I cant because my car is Pre-LCI.

Like angel eyes turning on when unlocking etc... Apparently you can code a LM2 (light module 2) with the app which came on LCI models. Pre LCI had LM1. Basically currently waiting until they give the LM1 some love lol. Hopefully. If not oh well.
