If you start the agent and have it read your DME, it will print the software versions. If yours match the ones below then, you won't be able to unlock it over OBD2.How do I know if I have the new DME? Planning on getting bootmod3 maybe after my break in.
I have to get bootmod3 first to find out the software version I have? So if I have the new software version that means I wonāt be able to change tunes anytime I want because I wonāt be able to unlock it? New to this, I donāt want to buy yet if I have to go to a tuner every time I want to change settings.If you start the agent and have it read your DME, it will print the software versions.

You should be ok as long as you haven't gone to the dealership and got the most recent update. I ended up getting mine bench unlocked locally when I got tuned.Iām guessing all LE owners are safe to assume we have the old DME?
Is this something mandatory by dealers? I had to bring my car back to have nav activated and I have a few free oil changes..... should I avoid these? And is there an easy way to check if it has been updated!You should be ok as long as you haven't gone to the dealership and got the most recent update.

Well this sucks! I had to bring my car to the dealer for a chassis error on Feb. So you said you had it bench unlocked, so what if you need to bring the car to the dealership for maintenance? Will they lock it back? So then, do you have to go back to the tuning shop to have it unlocked again? I want bootmod3, but I'm glad i came across this thread.You should be ok as long as you haven't gone to the dealership and got the most recent update.

The shop where I had the tuning done recommended against going to the dealership. They weren't sure what Toyota's instructions are, but BMW will lock the ECU/DME if you take it in for service. At least that's what the latest guidance is. Not worth the headache to me to have to go back to the shop to have the tune redone so I'll just go elsewhere for oil changes.Well this sucks!

The shop that tuned my car doesn't use bootmod3. They used their own flashing software. Right now I'm running the calibration they did along with a JB4 Map 6 with a 2 psi boost adder. From solely a boost level standpoint their tune coupled with JB4 is about equivalent to the boost your engine would see with a JB4 on Map 3.I appreciate you taking your time to answer my noob questions! One last thing, So are you now able to
switch tunes yourself with bootmod3 since your DME is unlocked?
Chances are you got the update. The update was apart of a recall for the brightness/screen black out issue.So is there a specific month these DME updates came out or are we basically stuck with buying tuners and guessing?
I donāt think I got the screen brightness update (unless it didnāt do much) because I had to use BimmerCode to be able to see it lolChances are you got the update. The update was apart of a recall for the brightness/screen black out issue.
