Yes, the Carly product can be used to reset the transfer box oil wear issue. However, before you do that, I would recommend checking the transmission fluid level and condition. Low or dirty fluid can cause shifting problems and transmission slips. If the fluid is fine, then you can proceed with the Carly product. Please update us on your progress and let us know if you have any further questions.

I changed the transmission fluid the same day as transfer case. Both fluids were extremely dirty. The BMW drove better at first but both the transfer box error & erratic shifting returned. So, can I get the Carly procedures for resetting the transfer box oil? Thank you

Sure, to reset the transfer box oil wear with Carly, follow these steps: 1. Connect the Carly adapter to your car's OBD2 port. 2. Open the Carly app and connect it to your adapter. 3. Go to the 'Service Reset' menu. 4. Select 'Transfer Box' and then 'Reset'. 5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process. Remember, this should only be done after a fluid change. If the problem persists after the reset, it might be a mechanical issue with the transmission or transfer case. In that case, I would recommend having a mechanic inspect the vehicle. Please keep us updated on your progress.

The menu item "Service Reset" does not exist in my software. I can only find Transmission and can reset the automatic transmission. Where can I find the VTG?

If the "Service Reset" menu isn't available, try looking for the "Drive" or "Transmission" section in the Carly app, as the VTG (transfer case) reset might be located there. If you still can't find it, ensure your app and adapter are updated to the latest version. If the issue persists, consider contacting Carly support for guidance. Let us know if you manage to find it or if you have any further questions.

Hello, I can only access the Transmission menu in the Service menu and there I can only reset the automatic transmission. There is no mention of VTG.

If the VTG reset option isn't available in your Carly app, it might be due to compatibility issues with your specific BMW model. I recommend reaching out to Carly support for assistance, as they can provide more detailed guidance or updates. Meanwhile, ensure your app and adapter are fully updated. If you have any further questions or need more help, feel free to ask.
