OBD unlock and bootmod3

[proTUNING Freaks]

OBD unlock is in testing and we'll have more details to share soon. Short answer is anyone looking to go the OBD unlock route instead of bench flash will be able to do so at home or at any of our supporting dealer locations.

Unlocking over OBD does not perform a full readout like unlocking on bench does. Currently the only way to fully restore any given DME back to full stock software including flash counters is still via open/bench flash and for that reason we'll be offering both options still to end users depending on their needs.

There are a few more cool features on the horizon very soon but we felt this one needed to be announced first. Everyone's doing it!

In for updates.

According to BPMSport they can flash back to stock without opening the DME.

Copy n Pasting what they wrote on F80's thread

Hey guys, really sorry for lack of updates here as most of our staff is away until Jan. 2nd and we're trying our best given the holidays.

BM3 OBD unlock is coming very soon. While away on non-stop 15 hour flights we've managed to kill lots of time by expanding our DME Read feature that's part of the Diagnostics screen. It hasn't yet been pushed out as we don't want to break something unexpectedly until we're fully staffed again come week of Jan. 2nd. If you've followed our updates through the initial BM3 release back in late 2015 early 2016 you'd know that given how most of this work reverse engineering, sometimes days go by without making much progress, and then, in just a few hours or even a few minutes at times, a glimpse of a solution shows itself which ends up unfolding itself into a new solution/feature or even a change to the approach on how something is done so it could be improved upon.

Current tools/cables released that have OBD unlock support already such as Magic Motorsports, Frieling (many vendors that announced OBD unlock on this forum use this tool provider), CMD, can produce full 4MB readout files that can be used to activate and run with BM3. BM3's DME read feature that has been expanded recently will provide those already unlocked by some tuner out there (regardless of method) an easy way to activate without pulling the DME again as well which will make it super easy to get on board with it, get custom tuned and use anything in BM3 you'd like.

More to follow very soon...

Any update on this, or ETA? If coming soon (in the next month or two), I'll gladly wait. Pumped that you guys will be offering it soon.

Yes bootmod3 can do that too, the only difference is you don't have a "snapshot" of the car before tuned. Not possible to get back here.

It's not about flash counters and dates, it's about FASTA data and more

Recently heard about a guy who had issues with his engine, swapped ECUs, but lost warranty because his DCT had recorded higher TQ than usual

Man, they're checking FASTA on the EGS now? Thats nuts.
EDIT: That means the piggyback guys are not safe

Exactly, nor have they ever been! FASTA can easily show fuel injection quantity higher than threshold allows

EGS will show higher torque.

So for everyone worrying about bench flashing, really.. Don't

If you ever worry, keep it stock!
