I don't think I got the warranty either, so I guess that means I'm out on the Bluetooth dongle as well? Its been handing for monitoring and I wanted to use it yesterday to monitor trans temps while I was filling up the trans fluid...

If you find an email address please post it. I guess I will ask them to send me a new cable even though I bought a new one from another vendor already. My fear is with a flakey cable looses connection in the middle of a flash and it Fs up the DME. Not worth the hassle or risk imo.
Why would a bluetooth adapter go bad? Bad solder jobs or a failed component should be VERY rare now a days unless you buy the cheapest of the cheap from China.
No idea. I would notice the LED in it light up red for a second like the cable when you initially plug it in, and then it would connect. Used it several times while driving. Updated the software and used it in my E46 once for shits and giggles. Right after that I started getting 'unknown vehicle' errors or it straight up wouldn't see it. And the led in it would no longer light up. Maybe I can try clearing cache or something on my phone or tablet?

I have had good luck with that brand before. Please note I have no tried them out yet to flash but I have no reason to believe they will not work flawlessly, it is just a cable at the end of the day and as long as they go by the USB spec everything should be fine.
It sounds like you are in a rush but if you can wait to this evening I will go and make sure I can connect to the OBD2 port in my E92. Will just take a moment once I get home. The cables are small money luckily.
It is worth a shot but I doubt it will help. You would think they would warn you of that well ahead of time to save everyone the head ache.
I managed to get the adaptor to work for a short bit and flashed the truck (btw Rods tune is amazing) but I was thinking about this :
Congrats! EPA LOL
That is smart, no cord, nothing to fray or wear really. I say go for it.
edit: BimmerGeeks should have done this from the start looking back on it.

Any progress from anyone? Still unsucessful in contacting them. Left a 1 star review on Play Store, maybe that will wake them up.
So I changed my review on Google play store and they contacted me almost immediately, got a new Bluetooth dongle in the way...
Did it work? So you guys are having trouble flashing because of faulty otg dongles? my E93 will not complete mdh flash. 3 K+DCAN cables one from bimmer geeks (garbage). 2 high amp battery charges from autozone. 2 cars straight wired instead of charges, running. just picked my 3rd android device waiting for it to charge. But the dongle? im using the same one from the geeks. ive been making those for years.

BG sent me a new one and threw in a THOR dongle as well. Been working fine so far. If that's not customer service idk what is lol
I setup ProTool on my MotoE first and it connects with the Blaze cable. But I’m trying to transfer ProTool to my Galaxy S4 because I ran out of memory on the MotoE when trying to update the app. However ProTool on the S4 / Blaze cable will not connect to the car saying the cable is incompatible which is clearly wrong. Note that MHD connects fine with S4 / Blaze. Please help!

Update: I emailed this to [email protected] this morning and they replied immediately! Awesome customer service!

Uninstall the app and try again. Make sure when transferring the license you're using the exact same Google Play account between both phones. Purchases carry from the account.
MHD and ProTool have different sequences of connection. Make sure the ignition is on when connecting. Let us know if the problem persists so we can troubleshoot some more.
Thanks,
