Which Carly interface?

Post by legacy4cam » Mon Jun 19, 2017 11:11 am

Looking to get the Carly interface for codes and so forth.

Anyone got recommendation for which Apple interface is reliable and best value, or are the cheap ones not worth the hassle ?

Thanks in advance .

When you say interface, what do you mean? As far as I am aware, with iPhones, you buy the App license and a wifi dongle and go from there.

I've had it a few months and, just like VCDS/VAGCom for VW Group cars, find it well worth the initial lay out.

I use Carly on iPhone... bought the adaptor from Amazon, the Wifi Gen 2 version for iPhones and works fine. Cost about £45, then another £40ish for the pro version of the software!

Can't say I've tried a generic adaptor from eBay but have heard mixed accounts as to whether they work with the software so doubt it's worth the risk!

What year is your zed. You may need the cable not the wifi dongle. :)

Mine is a 2004 and the wifi dongle doesnt support it so had to buy the cable.

I just coded a forum 2004 2.2 roadster with Carly using the gen 2 wifi... is there anyone on the Carly list thread close enough to verify if it'll work on yours?
