2014 BMW M5 Dinan Chip
Any one out there having problems with the dinan chip? I had one installed on my bmw m5 2014 and have been encountering a few problems. After spending three weeks at the bmw dealership and with their techs we unplugged the dianan chip and haven't had any further issues. While the chip was installed my driver assistance (blind spot, lane departure system) were sending malfunction signals as well as the deactivating themselves on their own. After unplugging the chip, everything went back to normal. Anyone having same kind of issues?

Yes. Just installed and also encountering these problems. No dealer response yet. Interestingly, my heated steering wheel is not working as well. Hope they can find a solution or I'm removing mine and getting refund.

I think its best to go back to Dinan for it.
i'm sure they have good customer services.

Spinny02, ever since the BMW tech unplugged the chip, no other warnings or issues came up. I have spoken to the Dinan dealer that installed the chip and was told to drive for a few days to make sure that it is the chip and if needed they would do a software update. I will post any updates next week after my test drive without chip is over.

David12, the chip was installed by an authorized Dinan dealer. However, because the issues I was having and being that the car is under warranty, I decided to go to the dealership. Especially since it was BMW that told me at first that they did not think that my issues had anything to do it the chip.

Ok sounds like the dealer needs to work with Dinan to get this resolved. They will take great care of you and get you 100%

I have installed many Dinantronics and have never experienced any of those issue's you described.
The harness plugs directly into both factory ECU's I wonder if it was a installation error by the technician Hope it all works out for you. |

Update...
Have not experienced any Driver Assistance or steering wheel heating errors since the one time last week. I have driven the car hard recently and nothing is popping up now....good news. Still don't know the link between the few of us with similar problems. Maybe the install has the potential to interfere with those systems. Who knows. Nonetheless, I'm not removing the system. The car is much faster and I love it! Mark

At this moment the car is with the dinan dealer that installed the chip and they are working on it to resolve the issue, I will post again once I get the car back or I hear of any updates.
