RECALL - Data Communication Module (DCM) Update

[bushido]

@CarGuy11 Once again, this is on a 2021 2.0

so to our current knowledge, -519 is being installed for the "DCM recall"? not -547?

Yes I just had mine done yesterday at dealer and S18T-24-03-519 was installed (just checked my profile export).

So far I have noticed on my 2020 Premium 3.0 Auto:

Trans shifting seems smoother. Also the rev hang when shifting manually near redline is mostly gone. If you click a paddle while in Auto gate it will now upshift on its own at redline which is good and bad I guess. Manual gate will still hold gears.

Suspension in Normal seems more supple to me but have to drive more.

Stereo sounds better to me.

Next I will attempt to make all the Bimmercode changes and hopefully I'll still be able to turn start stop off. Will report back.

As of 3/2023 i-level It is not possible to code memory or disable auto start stop. This spans across all BMWs in the US (other markets may differ).

So you got everything done smoothly? Your navigation and TPMS still works? Interesting, it's almost like these updates actually work when done by competent people and no cause for a lawsuit.

I currently have S18T-23-11-542 I did end of March and I can code those just fine.

Really? I would *love* to be wrong on this - it’s been all over the BMW forums as well.

Do you have memory enabled (or disabling of start/stop) and the car still starts in comfort mode?

Does this not apply for 2020s? Any recall checker including carfax doesn’t seem to show it for me.

I actually not considered a Recall so probably why its not showing up on carfax.

It’s not a recall, it’s a service campaign .

It's a 2020 and I have both start in sport mode and start/stop memory working (starts in Sport with Start/Stop off)

They are upgrading your computer to be able to interface to 5G technology. Do not do this update they have not thought out all of the interfacing required.

For most uses 2.4 G is all that you really need it has longer range than five and as fast enough for most any use, including streaming of music.

Yeah but what about the 2.4g radiaton? 5g has less radiation.

So this update is for the Wifi not the Cell modem?
