July 2023 Update:
ECU sync at home successfully with Femto, car is now finally fully tunable.
Been procrastinating and finally did the remote syncing with Femto. Since all of my process was DIY, here to provide more write up for those of you on the same route.
The remote sync is required for the cloned donor ECU before it's functional on the car. Femto told me that a ENET - OBD dungle is needed, which is about $10 from Amazon. (The one I got: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B095S14WD5?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details)
With that you connect a Windows computer to the car, then Femto will remote control your computer via Autodesk. It's worth mentioning you will need decent wifi connection. I used my phone's hotspot for the laptop and gladly it all worked out. Femto will schedule an appointment with you from EST 11 am -1 pm Mon-Fri, all free no extra charge.
Before the sync, you will need to remove original ECU from the car, install the clone in it. The pins are very hard to fully lock in, so be sure to press hard. Install from the last one to the next one in the front, in that order it's easier to press in.
Once ready, you provide the Autodesk credential to them, either via email/IG, I did both. They connect, 5 mins later, all set. Specifically, you will need to press start button 3x to put the car in diagnosis. Femto has a software which I believe communicate with the ECU once it's on the car. Once done, you will be able to start the engine with the clone, and it's good to go. Note that it may require a bench unlock still, which can cost between $300-500.
Now mine's finally ready for Ecutek. Currently there's one donor ECU from a 2019 M320i ready to ship, let me know if you need it!
