Easybimmercoding vs kubax86

There is a thread here regarding slow CarPlay response and this coder easybimmercoding made accusations to kubax86 emplying he is just making suggestions to make a sale.
I was going to reply in defense of kubax as a satisfied buyer of his service but that thread is already locked. Anyway this was going to be my response in hopes no name gets tarnished.

Kubax86 has and have been a great vendor to all of us here. He is selling a service and we are benefiting from it. The topic of that thread is CarPlay slowing down not connectivity issue. Like the OP my CarPlay had a delayed response and the firmware update through dealer eliminated that. The wifi antenna only helps with better connectivity signal. Everyone here always has a choice to get service from Kubax86 or get info/service from you or dealer. No need to get hostile base on assumptions. Again Kubax89 has been giving good service not only about CarPlay but all coding needs. We appreciate your help also easybimmercoding but not need to put others down. We are all adults here and can make our own decisions. Accusations of deception is not taken lightly.

Appreciate that. I wanted to point out that flashing helped for you, but as you said thread was locked. Flash was done by dealer anyway.

Kubax86 fixed some issues created by Thor for free. He's a running a business but he has also been very helpful to a lot of people here. I will continue to use and support him.

Kubax has been incredible for me. I used him for coding CarPlay in my X3 and doing the the LCI taillights retrofit in my '16 M4.

I was the one who started the post in hopes of getting some help/fix since the issue is not normal. My intention was not to put anyone down or cause any conflict, just looking for some help. I have not worked with Kubax, but he has always replied to my post providing possible solution. I never felt any pressure to pay him for any service. Again, I surly didn't want this to go into this direction.

Kubax86 has been there for me from the start. I was one of the first who got full screen CarPlay on my previous M2c through him a long time ago. Kid you guys not I was holding off buying my current M3 while at the dealer because it did not have Apple CarPlay activated. I was not going to get it until I got confirmation from kubax86 he can code it and because of his fast response It all worked out. I immediately contacted him the next day and he activated CarPlay. Everyone agrees his pricing is very good and will continue to support behind your initial purchase. No one is more reputable here than this guy. Easybimmercoding seem to imply that he can do a lot of stuff for free or little charge, that’s great. But in reality coding can be difficult and confusing for some of us. All the tools can be had and I’m a fairly smart guy but I’ve tried messing with it to no success. So I’d rather have experts do this properly without owing them anything. And like others here said they have been put out of a bind due to kubax86.

Thumbs up

kubax86

Agreed. Above and beyond with his services. Had the standard full screen carplay completed, then when i installed a custom 10.25 inch touchscreen from the x3 into the M4, the same problem arose and free of cost, he helped me again get it back to full screen.

So happy with the results, had him flash to GTS rear diff, steering, EURO MDM and CS suspension for my ZCP. He looked over the rest of my coding and confirmed everything was to spec.

Super fast communication, A+ service.... if anything I felt like I was stealing his time.

Thanks Kubax86!

So we’ve a forum that has policies that make positive experiences difficult to have (kubax)
Open discussion limited to not so open formats (g8x launch)
And administration who hide behind anonymity....

Sounds like a great recipe for the USA...er, revolution....er, dwindling relevance. No wait we’ve never seen this recipe in the past. Ever.

Thumbs up kubax86 is AMAZING!!!

I just had Apple Carplay + Fullscreen installed in my F80 by kubax86 and he did a phenomenal job!!! The guy knows his stuff. He's lightning-fast at responding to all of my neverending questions. He is patient, and a true professional. The final product looks AMAZING and has far exceeded my expectations.

If you want the job done right, then kubax86 is your guy! I highly recommend him and I look forward to the next project with him.

Kubax86 at it again all the way from the other side of the world. He did my GTS/CS flash yesterday and it only took a short time. Eliminated the hesitation jerk it does in sports plus mode. Ultra smooth shifting in most setting but I still have the fast hammer DCT shifts in sports plus which I love and much improved suspension and steering feel as well and that gts burble... awesome!
