Wonder why it doesnt support EcuTek...

I can confirm KIES motorsports has indeed figured it out! No more FEMTO required!
Spoke to Dane at Kies and he let me know that they successfully flashed 8 DMEs with no problem. He did mention to me that there may sometimes be a hiccup in bootmod3 when flashing it saying it doesn't detect an unlock but from what he said is you are good to proceed with the flash and it works!
Since FEMTO is technically also a partial unlock (FEMTO uses their own custom ROM software to flash) this isn't.... meaning once you do this unlock you will NOT need to resend it if you would like to switch from bootmod3 to MHD.

Super exciting to hear honestly and he did confirm that they DO NOT open the DME as autotuner does. IT IS COMPLETELY SOFTWARE.

Also written on their website:
Key highlights:

• All unlocks are performed at the KIES HQ in New Jersey (Address provided at checkout)
• Average turnaround of 1-2 business days
• DMEs are NOT opened during unlock
• Price includes 1 business day return shipping for the lower 48 domestic states
• Compatible with Bootmod3 (including CustomRom), MHD (including MHD+) and MG Flasher.
• Compatible with B46, B48, B58, S58, N63 and S63 (See compatibility chart below)
• Special KIES exclusive bundle for unlock + bootmod3

Important notes:

• You must have a factory-sealed DME. Opened DMEs will be denied service and sent back at the customer's expense.
• Please ensure to disable automatic software updates in your BMW to prevent the locking of the DME.
• Below you will see two options for the unlock. One option is for UNLOCK ONLY and the other (which specifies it includes a bootmod3 license) includes a standard bootmod3 license.
• Customer is responsible for shipping the DME to KIES for unlocking.

Cool story.

Cool story.

Im not into car bowling, but to say it sucks when every high HP tuner chooses it is a bit odd.

But you are never wrong so

Get back to me when you tune with it, pay their licensing fees, deal with their support, proprietary locks, etc

Pretty cool!

Glad to see something finally happening in the USA.

I paid around $2,400 dollars in 2023 to Euro Performance Center to fly my DME to Finland - so it is about the same all things considered.

I wonder if you have an already FEMTO unlocked DME if KIES can flash it so that you can use the tuning suite you would like and not have to reflash again.
