Mine is currently at the dealer… man these MFs have no idea what they’re doing ?

Which dealer? Let us know if they screwed anything up.

Any BM3 people took theirs in for the recall?

I'm scheduled to have mine done on Friday. I sincerely hope this ECU flash won't permalock my tunable 2021 ECU...

Dropped my car off an hour ago. They were nice enough to get me into a loaner (massive 4 runner but I guess it guzzles gas just as much lol), and called me an hour later to tell me the Supra Tech cannot access the database to get to the software update for the car. So he's gotta call tech support. LOL.

I am probably going to wait alittle after some of the dealerships practice on a few Supras before I bring mine in. Lol ?

I called mine, I already have the latest Idrive update so I'm gonna wait it out too.

This is what I’m waiting to hear. I won’t be happy if it locks the DME again.

Okay, so here is my experience with the recall. I took it in, they asked me before they started if I was tuned, since the flash would wipe it. They did the flash, took quite a while, like several hours. But I ended up with full screen carplay. I will have to go back in and do some of my Bimmercode settings, but not all of them, it kept some of them. The mirrors still fold in, it remembers to keep auto start off, but a lot of other things are gone, like keeping it in Sport mode, Sport + is gone again…. But no big deal I can redo all that easy!

I'll bet whoever that is selling full screen carplay is pissed...

Also confirming full screen carplay. Also the HUD carplay text got updated a bit? I dropped my car off yesterday morning and didn't get it back for 24-26 hours.

I also took my girlfriend's 2.0 in at the same time, and apparently this recall doesn't apply. A different recall for passenger seatbelt retractor did apply to only hers, but there's no fix yet, which I didn't know about.

Yeah, the a90 is MY secondary vehicle that is barely driven.

It's like the seat belt recall applies to more cars since that's likely a shared component across all Supra trims. It's definitely on my 2021 3.0 - and indeed there's no fix yet - waiting on parts. It's also just the passenger....they ride at their own risk lol!

UPDATE
My SA just called me (after hours for them) and let me know the Tech's computer had various updates it had to download and install and a new file came through that was 10GB...and I'm assuming the dealership has basic internet. So it took them hours to get it and they're going to run it now so my car will be ready by 8am tomorrow. I'm guessing they'll just set and and let it run overnight lol.
Hope my screens don't burn in!...kidding not kidding.
