Bimmercode
Before my 2021 M240i arrived in December I purchased the Bimmercode app and downloaded into my Galaxys10+. I used it to did some coding in my car once it arrived. Worked like a chime.
I recently got an Iphone 12 Promax so I can use the Apple Car play in my car. I wanted to explore and do more coding with the Bimmercode. To my surprise there is NO transfer option on my purchased Bimmercode app. to my new Iphone 12. Basically I have to re-purchase the same Bimmercode app. again. That is totally BS. I have already pay for it one month ago and now they want me to pay for it again. I found it difficult to believe this can not be done. If I have to pay for it again I am thinking of getting Bimmerlink instead. Can anyone comment on how Bimmerlink is working out? |

BimmerLink is made by the same independent developer (SG Software) as Bimmercode, but provides different functionality.
Creating an app for a second platform doesn't come free in time or effort — you have to write code for both and support both from a customer support standpoint. You could reach out to the developer to see if he has the ability to transfer your license from one to the other. |

I guess it depends how one looks at this issue. From a customer's view he is not asking for something he is going to make profit of the transfer. IMHO Bimmercode's policy of not allowing the transfer of a purchased app is bad for customer service. |

To be clear, you’re asking to exchange your Google Store purchase to the Apple Store?
I’m not sure how common that practice is, having only used Iphones for a while now. I don’t even know if it’s possible since the different stores authorize the licenses of apps that are downloaded and certainly don’t talk to each other. But I certainly wouldn’t have expected the ability to if I switched phone platforms. Compared to the VIN Specific licenses some other modding apps require, another $30 for a new o/s platform is still a deal. |
