Saw this on the F80 forums that unlocking the DME no longer requires removing it.

IF it works (call me a skeptic), the internal counter will change and every dealership will know you messed with the stock programming. If you're out of warranty then there's nothing to worry about but if your car is covered this isn't the way I'd go....

Seems MHD has solved it, no DME unlock/removal to flash tune.

I personally been with PTF/Bootmod3 for the past year worked with them in closed-beta and suggest you folks look at who has the most proven results and best platform.
20k miles hard-driven!

Key things to keep in mind
- Bootmod3 is the only with Resale value and license transfer (this is HUGE for me)
- Not to mention all the World Record cars with their tune have taken in the 1/4 mile

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...

Nowhere there does it say it addresses the OBDII Port counter.......

They also don't support the N20/N26.

Flash counter is still the issue..even per them. Has to be a benchflash to get the counter back...

Those who want a tune without warranty concerns etc..it's a no brainer I guess for the multitude of tunes coming out via the OBD port...

There were new discoveries if you read the thread/link i posted
PTF will be yet again revolutionizing the F series Tuning Platform

The whole warranty is being overly hyped concern in my 4yrs experience owning F series.
