Nexiter LIVE

Nexiter LIVE for BMW and MINI.

Connect your car to A Better Route Planner for better stats and smarter planning on every road trip. Nexiter LIVE forwards your BMW or MINI telemetry to ABRP — no OBD dongle and no telemetry subscription — connecting directly to BMW CarData and running quietly while you drive.

Available now on Google Play (early access). One requirement worth checking first: you must be the main (primary) user of the car in your BMW or MINI account. That's the one thing CarData won't bend on.

14-day free trial, then a one-time purchase in Google Play (price shown in your local currency, incl. VAT) — lifetime access, no subscription to us. A free ABRP account works; Premium is optional and paid to Iternio.

Overview

A bridge, not a dongle

Most ways of getting BMW data into ABRP rely on an OBD dongle or a paid data relay. Nexiter LIVE takes a different route: it talks directly to BMW CarData — BMW's own data service — using your personal accounts, and sends your state of charge on to ABRP as your car reports it, with bonus signals like charging status and tyre pressure when the car exposes them.

For location, you choose: out of the box ABRP keeps using your phone's GPS, or flip one switch in Settings and Nexiter LIVE streams the car's own position instead.

It runs as a background service tuned for Android, so once it's set up your live data keeps flowing even with the screen off — and it restarts itself after a phone reboot.

One requirement: BMW CarData only works for the vehicle's main (primary) user. Joint or secondary users can't connect — the free trial is there to confirm it works for your account before you buy.
Highlights

What it does

Your car reports a new state of charge each time the battery level changes by 1 % — around every minute and a half on the motorway, less often in town. Nexiter LIVE sends each update on as your car reports it; the gap between updates is BMW's cadence, not an app delay, and the same is true of any over-the-air source.

No dongle, one-time price

Direct BMW CarData connection — nothing to plug in, and nothing recurring to pay us. A free ABRP account works; Premium is optional and paid to Iternio.

Live in the background

Streams your state of charge to ABRP quietly — even with the screen off.

Privacy by design

No Nexiter server. Credentials stay on your device; data flows only between BMW, your phone and ABRP.

Location from your phone

The bridge focuses on what only the car knows. Location comes from your phone or the in-car app, the way ABRP works best.

Bluetooth wake

Connecting to your car's Bluetooth can start the bridge automatically for the drive.

13 languages

Localised interface that defaults to your phone's language.

What is ABRP?

A Better Route Planner (ABRP), made by Iternio, is a route planner built for electric vehicles. Give it a destination and it plans the whole trip — where to charge, for how long, and with how much battery you'll arrive — using a model of your exact car, the elevation and speed along the route, and chargers matched to your plugs (ABRP Premium adds live traffic, weather forecasts and speed cameras). With live data from your car it no longer has to guess your starting point: your real state of charge feeds back into the plan as you drive, and ABRP replans if the trip turns out different from what it expected. That is what Nexiter LIVE gives it. A free ABRP account is all you need.
