Yes, still needs OBD Unlock via Bench (No Cracking of Seals Though)

I just completed this. I did the bench unlock through EAS. Same day turnaround and the whole project (installed crank bolt capture and did new plugs) given the DME needed to be pulled off. EAS was awesome, as was PTF with support. Super happy with the results.

You did not post the software ids so I cannot say if you're good or not.

I guess they needed a little more information from the car, but they came back and said I can ignore the warning and flash it. Ill give a try and see, fingers crossed.

Also, what DME software version does it say that your car is running in the BM3 app? |

Apologies for bringing this old thread up.
My DME is already unlocked with BM3 but from time to time I would relock the DME for some specific reasons. Recently my iDrive module (iDrive knob sensitivity, nothing to do with BM3) has developed a problem and my local BMW dealer is offering me a firmware/software update hoping to resolve the iDrive issue. The dealer cannot specify what update they will be giving me however. My question is, what specific firmware/software (iDrive, iStep, NBTevo or something else?) and what version number from BMW would no longer allow my car to be flashed with BM3 by myself (I know there is no limitation with bench unlock but that's not what I want to do routinely)? Based on the quoted message below, it seems like the issue is with ISTEP level 19-03-5xx? Does it mean if BMW is only updating the software of iDrive/NBTevo then I won't have any problem? Quote:

Modules (including DME) will update if the newer iStep calls for it, however the a previously unlocked DME will always be unlockable. Build date will determine if this is through the OBD2 or bench unlock.

Vehicles manufactured 7/20+ are unlockable at the moment.

Tom, my car is a 2018 M3. With this build date, even with the March 2019 update to the DME, I will still be able to unlock the DME again by simply flashing with BM3 instead of having to bench unlock, right?

As long as the bootloader isn't updated during the process, yes.

I have a F87 M2C running I-Step F020-18-07-530 (mostly, HU already updated) which is running Bootmod3. So if I read this right I can update the car to F020-21-03-530 by only not selecting the highlighted option in the attachment below? Is it really that simple or is there more to it? Is there anyone who has actually done something like this? I assume I have to re-flash BM3 at that point as the DME is running the original firmware again. Any issues with that? Thanks! |
