Weird, that's not been my experience. It uses HTTPS with a self-signed certificate, and you can change the default wifi password.
Checked the online user guide, it looks out of date. You can turn wifi off by holding down OPTION again. |

It may just be the online guide being out of date or incomplete, but worth running Wireshark or similar to confirm the device is actually secure.

But its not currently for sale and they are looking for alpha testers. Seems like a great idea to me (sarcasm intended).

You're right that "Alpha" isn't confidence inspiring (we have adjusted language to make this clearer). The device is fully functional, what we need is some help building our CAN database for as many different models as possible. Stef P.S.: The G87 version is a production release, fwiw. |

Also - is there a way to turn it off easily when car goes in for service? I'm assuming the car won't log anything weird that the dealer could pick up on, and don't want to have to unplug the unit either, digging into the dash, every time. I guess if it had to be unplugged a switch could be installed to cut power to it

Good suggestion on "fully disabling" the device. It would be surprising for the dealership to notice anything while canDO+ is connected, but this is something we will look into supporting in a future release (which current users can upgrade to through over the air updates). |

We're still working on installation collateral. We can provide basic instructions in the meantime. Note that the install doesn't require any splicing, so the car is easily returned to stock if necessary. Stef |

Would this device allow changing the auto blip setting on and off as well (manual car)? It is a setting in iDrive so I presume it is something that can be changed.

We've done just about all of our development on automatic cars, so it's currently not built into the default database. That being said, given that it is a car setting like others under canDO+ control, I feel fairly confident that it could be added in the future, and that in the meantime, canDO+ will let you sniff it out (pretty easily in this case) and add it to your custom CAN messages. |

My understanding of figuring out how to turn on or off auto-rev match with the manual transmission is that I'd have the canSPY window open, set the setting normally in the car through iDrive (on and off) and see if I can capture the message that was sent for each, and then once I know what the message was, then I can set that up into one of my associations? Does canDO+ allow me to make an action from what would then be a "custom" message? And if the process above is correct then pretty much any messages iDrive sends (seat heaters, AC controls) are all fair game to be added to macros as well? Finally, and I know this is weird, but is it OK if the unit isn't powered on but plugged into the CAN bus? ie can I put a remotely wired power switch on the thing to physically turn it off it without having to dig into the console and unplug it in that situation? For example the car goes in for service can I just switch it off so that the car isn't doing things that the tech isn't expecting it to (like DSC off and they are driving into the service area with slippery wet polished concrete floors)? Or can it be disabled through the WiFi connection in that instance? I have totally hijacked this thread everyone, sorry!

If it’s already something you can set, how would the device be useful in this case, what’s the use case exactly? Changing it alongside a screen change, maybe?

[Hopefully] Resets my and my passenger's temperature and HVAC controls to preset temps on startup, auto recirculate, AC on (my wife messes up her HVAC controls constantly in her X5 using the menus, expect the same to happen). [Maybe] for those who don't like the screen going back to regular displays when you go into cruise control, going into cruise control can be a trigger to toggle the screen back to sport display. Anything I can program to a physical button and not have to go into the iDrive system to change, I can make those changes through a macro. Theoretically can program macros to run with specific events (cruise control activated - wait 1 second then turn sport display back on). Set it and forget it. That's what I'm looking for. Plus I love programming and tinkering, for me the price is worth the fun of figuring it out. I'm a digital guy with analog preferences...

There are hundreds of messages per second on the bus, so using canSPY, you would start recording the "chatter", which adds the devices to a blacklist, so you can more easily narrow down the events you're looking for. Once you figure out a specific ID for a device, the simplest approach is to whitelist that ID and focus only on those messages. |
