BMW Lock/Unlock Audible Beep Confirmation - Full Carly App Coding Procedure
Hello everyone and welcome back to the Shed!
In this video I am going to be coding out the audible beeps that my car makes when locking or unlocking it. I find them incredibly annoying, and as they aren't on by default on UK supplied cars, that must mean that a previous owner obviously liked them! Each to their own!
I will go through connecting the Carly adaptor to the car along with how to make your smartphone communicate with the device.
It's pretty easy to follow and I hope that you find the video helpful and useful.
You can find your very own Carly adaptor at the link below:

Excellent video - thanks very much for putting this up. Also a shout out to your camera person for the great filming and sound quality.
Very cool! Got an email from Steve & hes making these in the USA again. His store in on Etsy. Gonna order one finally! Not expecting a huge difference but curious to see the improvement.
Thanks for the video. I'll be doing this soon with my bike.
Hi kev i got a 04 sv1000s what milage should i get the tappets done and can you show hows it dine
Thank you very much for this video. I was afraid my hydraulic clutch lever change would have needed to be done by the garage. I thought I would have to be bleeding lines etc... Thankfully I came across your video!!!
1996 VT1100CTT BTW
Do you still have it????
Good info, I hadn't thought about the position of the magnetic poles facing each other. That could have been a complete fiasco to diagnose later haha
Really helpful vid Kev! Will be removing fairing soon. One thing to note is there is a second fusebox on the left side for ABS models.
Hi Kev. This is E65 2005-2008, post lift, right?
Hello Really interesting Question: my bike after changing the distribution chain (broken unfortunaly) can't get past 12000tr/min Any idea?
Happen to know where I can get a replacement “captive” nut you mentioned for the front tire fender?
To me with the risers on, it seems the clip ons some don't get hold of much of the forks, dodgy to my mind, wouldn't want them sliding off at umpteen miles per hour
Hi kev, how come the ABS light didn't illuminate when you turned the ignition on?
Thank you so much!! Finally I found the right video to help me with this on my bike !!
Thank you Kev this is brilliant. Great help.
Have you experienced a locked hood on an E65?
KEV OR ANYONE A QUICK QUESTION ..... CAN YOU DO THIS TO GET THE ORANGE CAR LIGHT OFF ? , IT COMES ON FOR ABOUT 4 SECONDS WHEN I START THE CAR UP THEN GOES OFF , BUT WITH IT NOT BEING A RED CAR LIGHT DO YOU STILL DO THE SAME PROCEDURE , OR IS THERE A DIFFERENT WAY TO GET THE ORANGE CAR LIGHT FROM COMING ON ? ? HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON AS IM NEW TO BMWs , THANKS IN ADVANCE
Sir are u active still on this page
You said: Pilot jet screw is on air side, but it’s wrong!!! So it’s setting affects fuel, not air! !!!!
Thanks mate! 😊
Hi, just about to start this job on left mount and was wondering if you could tell me what size star socket do i need under the mount please, cheers
T12 Just heard it, thanks for the video
Can this entire bleeding process be done entirely using the hand vacuum pump if I don't have a glamorous assistant ???
Hi kev I love the way you make the videos so simple and no waffling, I had a stroke last year and it has affected my left arm I'm OK but I've been left with a weakness in my hand and I'm struggling with the clutch leaver after about 90 miles I seem to lose the strength in my hand is there any way I can make the clutch softer or easier to operate cheers kev ,colin Taylor
What was the piece that is a “one shot deal” at 10:03?
i know this is a old video but very well done so thank you
Kev, you probably do away with just over a foot of rectifier wiring, does the old rectifier wiring cause that many issues? I know it’s thinner but 12 inches doesn’t seem that much. Oh matron.
Wanted to ask before I buy this head unit for my car, does it come with the adaptors or do you have to buy them separately? Specifically the ones just for the head unit rather than the ones for the microphone/dab radio.
Great video Kev but quick question please, I see you mix your own coolant and use 50/50 mix with distilled water. Question: what ethylene glycol do you use please? I'm reading not to use any with silicate in it but just wondering what you use to mix it yourself? Cheers for any help in this matter Buddy.
Hi Kev, how do you easiest remove the rear wheel for tire change?
many a great man has falling trying to vanquish a Kawasaki bolt.
Brilliant!
Clear instructions , but put a clean shirt on next time and stop swiping excess grease off on your cloths
Sitting position? Are you comfortable in the car? It looks a bit to small for you.
Is it possible to just vaccum bleed the system with the vaccum bleeder like you had to suck the old fluid out??
Complimenti per i tuoi video veramente ben fatti . Vorrei chiederti la procedura per la regolazione verticale del fascio luce su questo modello del video. Ti ringrazio tantissimo tantissimo
Would this work on my blackbird?
Hi, did you re fit all the original r56 bolts, one for the shocker and the main bush, cheers
Got to do this on my blackbird. Slave cylinder was leaking, so have a rebuild kit to fit and doing clutch master cylinder as well.
Hi Kev, thanks for your videos, really helpful. About to start changing brake fluid on my VFR. What the advantage in draining the system fully before adding new fluid? Seems like more risk of getting air in the lines. Before seeing this video, I was planning to change the fluid using the method you show at the end but not draining fully.
I get your point, but the method demonstrated in the video is the method the official Honda manual describes. 👍🏻
Is the same kit for both the clutch master cylinder and front brake master cylinder?
Few tips. I didn’t need to remove outer door trim. When removing sound/insulation pad, just use a plastic scraper and slice through the “insulation” while peeling the pad off. I had no damage to mine. Hot day helps. The sprocket has a T20 on the close side and Allen key on the other, punch/screwdriver and hammer works pretty well on a stubborn one. I was caught out by the alignment I’m about 2 mm short of the top trim. I cleaned the window when I took it out so couldn’t see the old line. Excellent video. Thank you.
Is episode 16 the last one? I can't find anymore! Looking for the rest!!
It is so far, there will be more I promise. Had a lot going on in my personal life to deal with. I’ll be back on the project as soon as I can 👍🏻
Hi Kev I would like to ask you a question but it's not about your yamaha it's about the honda vfr can you tell me if a right hand side footrest bracket from a abs model will fit a normal vfr it looks the same to look at but because it's abs will it fit.
The same buddy 👍🏻
Thanks for that kev much Apreciated .
15mins if everything goes perfectly. Mine have just took 3 hours of various hammers, and pointy tools, after an hour I went and bought a new blowtorch. 5 goes with heat and more hitting and eventually it gave in and came loose.
Ki kev any clue as to how to contact andy drummond for the "bucket?
If you join the VFR Owners UK group on Facebook, there is another chap now doing a mount which is 3D printed and very cool, which I may have to pick up for myself.
Best videos i have found. Only giving my 99 model a spruce up at this stage, but maybe give some love like this one day. I am in Australia, heaps of these around. I migbt pick up a old tired one jf i am lucky!
It's good to see an upload from you Kev
Good to see you back Kev.
Cheers buddy 👌🏻😎
