Bimmercode gets stuck
Hi guys. I just bought a Vgate iCar pro WIFI adapter for my 2014 f32 420d but I am having troubles having it work with bimmercode on android (galaxy s8+ android 8.0 oreo).
This is what I did: first, turn on the ignition, then put the adapter in the port, then put phone in airplane mode, then connected my phone to the v-link wifi (the light on the adapter turned from red to green), finally i opened the bimmercode app. After that I just clicked on "connect", the link to the adapter seemed to work, but the app got stuck identyfing the ECUs. I tried several times, tried to reinstall bimmercode and restart my phone, tried to connect with engine on and off. Nothing changed the outcome. To be precise, it always gets stuck at 14%. Every time this happens, i can see the led on the adapter toggling from red to green while the percentage rises, and then getting stuck to green when the app gets stuck too. It's the first time I try coding so I don't really know if this is due to a defective adapter or what. I was not able to find anything similar to my problem. Do you guys have any idea what could cause this? Thanks!

Have you tried another phone? Perhaps iPhone?

Contact BimmerCode support since it's their app you're having trouble with.

Thanks for your replies guys.
I contacted bimmercode support and they told me than the latest WIFI version of the iCar Pro is indeed not supported anymore cause of an hardware modification by vGate. I just ordered the bluetooth version now, hoping that it will work!
