Scenario 1: Correct Scenario 2: I have a similar understanding to what you explained there. However, when exactly the car checks for this tamper code I'm not sure (whether at ignition ON or after running for the first time etc.). If it is only thrown after the first start, then it will fly under the radar (Assuming that the 201101 Tamper code is the only way the dealership checks for a modified DME). Otherwise you'll be flagged. If you are really interested, I can find out for sure. I have a map without the tamper code removed. I'll flash the car, delete DTC and then scan the car again for fault codes with ignition ON. It will tell us for sure. OR proTUNING Freaks can simply explain it for us

@BuLoOoSki , I am interested but given that DME has a limited amount of flashes (60 or so), I feel bad that you use two for the sake of my curiosity btw, I don't think the dealership checks for this stuff, it is BMW, maybe once FASTA is uploaded, a big Red Alarm starts ringing: "TAMPER CODE DETECTED" at the dealership

Now we are digressing but for the sake of knowledge, data retention in flash depends on nb of erase/programming. Have fun reading! Sure maybe it's a soft limit, but why is DME the only ECU with this smaller limit, compared to much higher nb for other ECUs...

Not necessarily. One way I can think of is via checking the flash counter of the DME.

The DME is in fact limited by 60 flashes. It's probably true that PTF must have tested more than 60 maps prior to releasing, but I believe what PTF might have done is used the two files they obtain during the unlock process to restore the DME to its original status once they hit the limit in order to reset the counter.

Limits are for the weak
We've got well over 400 flashes on our development M4, that's been taken care of otherwise map switching would kind of be a little limiting Tamper code, the best thing to say here is this: "if you're concerned about your warranty, do yourself a favour, don't modify at all. Not just flashing the DME but also applies to hardware and piggybacks". No beating around the bush here on this topic ever from our side. The code can trigger at any time after an unlocked/tampered bootloader is present with untampered/stock software. and to those being honest with their Service Advisors and Techs. It goes a long way in most cases, more than most can imagine. Lastly, to answer what we get asked often, you CAN re-lock flash over OBD but that may/may not leave traces of tampering in other areas of the DME. However, the best way of going back to stock is via bench flash, using the readout that was done before any tuning (aka TaMpErInG) took place. |

The likelihood is very small, I'd need to verify someone else's FASTA data. Everytime our car is hooked up to dealer's ISTA system, the vehicle basic test queries all ECUs for many many things, and then is transmitted using FASTA service. I've deciphered 99% of FASTA jobs and have a good idea what the basic vehicle test is doing. see my notes above. Code:

It doesn't get erased post flash. To my understanding the only way to erase it is to restore the DME using the original readout files and that will restore the counter to whatever state it was at the time of readout. Now whether that can be done via OBD or it has to be bench flashed I'm not sure.

gotcha, and I was saying how and who can check that counter, there are no facilities in ISTA, and FASTA doesn't log it... BTW, i'd like to pick your brain but in the DIY section, i'll create a thread so we don't create undue traffic for this thread and lie low a bit ;-)

There are many reasons one would decline updates for their F8x. If I wasn't tuned I'd probably still decline updates unless something was wrong. If it's not broke, don't fix it.

Nothing beneficial to gain from an update if its available?
