Bimmercode adaptor

Hi all, i am trying to research and hoping this is the best place to ask.

i want to buy a OBD adaptor for BIMMERCODE APP.

want to be able to use on any BMW SERIES.

i also wondered what thought are on VGATE WIFI supposed to BLUETOOTH?

Wifi is about £10 than Bluetooth.
would i be correct by saying Wifi is more reliabe than Bluetooth.

thank you all for your time and hopefully you can help me.

Thanks!

Bluetooth is recommended. Wi-Fi can have drop outs. That can be disastrous if it happens during coding. There should be a link to the recommended adapters on the Bimmercode site.

I have two OBD adapters, out of which one is the iCar Vgate pro, and it still works perfectly fine with bimmercode.

My VGate hasn't worked in two years. It did originally, but then it was rendered inoperative with one of the Bimmercode software updates. This coincided with it disappearing from the Bimmercode website as a recommended adapter.

Maybe it's different on your side of the pond but the Veepeak Bluetooth is still listed on the Bimmercode site that I view. https://bimmercode.app/adapters/ It even has a 15% off coupon with Amazon.
