BMW ECU/DME OBDII Bench Unlock | For Tuning With bootmod3
Pro Tuning Freaks have been working tirelessly since late 2015 to create a truly unique cloud based performance flash tuning platform offering benefits both end users and tuners in ways prior unimaginable! bootmod3 is a full custom tuning platform for the factory engine computer (DME) available for Windows, macOS and mobile apps for iOS and Android. Users can change their tunes through the OBD port in their own driveway using the web or mobile apps taking just seconds to do so.
The Bosch ECU/DME installed the latest generation of F-Series and G-Series BMW models are locked from the factory to prevent tuning modifications via the OBDII port. This typically effects most models with BMW software after March-2019 (M140i, M340i, M2 Competition, M3, M4, M5, M8, etc).
To enable OBDII tuning capabilities for bootmod3 on your BMW F & G Series, the DME/ECU needs to be reprogrammed with a new patch that allows OBDII tuning/reprogramming. This one time patch is completely safe and does not alter the factory performance of the vehicle.
This in-house DME unlock service is only available for model built pre-06/2020. For those looking for a DME Unlock for BMW models after 06/2020, our FEMTO DME Unlock service can be found here.
HOW DO I HAVE MY DME/ECU UNLOCKED?
We offer both an in house and mail in service to have your ECU/DME OBDII capabilities unlocked.
Mail In Service
This will require you to remove the ECU/DME from your car and send it to us for patching. The cost to send the ECU/DME to us in not included in your purchase but the overnight return of your ECU/DME via FedEx/TNT Express is (cost added at checkout). The typical turnaround time to have this done is 2-7 days depending on your location.
In House Service (Melbourne Only)
Once you have purchased the OBD unlock, we will be in touch with you to arrange a suitable time to have you booked in to have the unlock performed. The cost is fully inclusive of all labour required to gain access to your ECU/DME and perform the OBD unlock. This could take up to a 1-2 hours to do depending on the model.
WHAT IF MY DME/ECU IS RE-LOCKED?
Our DME/ECU OBDII unlock also comes with a 24-month guarantee. Should your ECU/DME be re-locked through BMW programming during this time, we will unlock it for you free of charge (excluding any freight or labour costs). This is only available for the original owner/purchaser and terms & conditions apply.

First time at Southern BM today and it won't be my last. Efficient and quality service as I'd expected at a much more reasonable price than a BMW Dealer. The only downside, you'll drop your car off and will end up drooling over the m3s and m4s out front!
