What scanner to use for Bimmercode

After seeing all the amazing reviews on bimmercode I decided to buy the app, but I don't know what scanner to use. What scanner would you recommend? I noticed that the vgate and veepeak are both popular but I don't know which one to buy.

I've had good success with my VeePeak Bluetooth

I have iCarPro 2 and it’s working really smooth in my case. If you need the amazon link, let me know!

Veepeak OBD Check BT 4.0 as recommended by Bimmercode. I've never had any issues connecting or staying connected.

Another vote for Veepeak OBD Check BT 4.0. I'm new to coding and just got mine this week and within 5 minutes was coding away. Have already enabled extended bluetooth and several others.

Thanks for the replies. I ended up buying the veepeak and got the car coded. Works great.

Veepeak has one with BLE & another with BLE+ for a bit more. I'm not familiar with this tech. What's the difference?
