This video is the only one on UA-cam that goes into detail on the Femto unlock. Great stuff man!
🙏🏾
hopefully someone can crack the 2021+ dmes here in the States soon, preferably after my OEM warranty expires :D
Felt that , I’m dying to turn my comp up to 700hp
Been following you for a few months and your channel is absolutely superb. I’m not familiar with BMW platforms but have put my money where my mouth is and ordered a manual Supra and trying to find info on this topic has been a pain in the ass. Thanks for making it easier to understand🙌🏽💯💪🏽
🙏🏾
This was sooooo informative thanks brother
Great video
Thank you sir for the info sure save me a headache
I have a 2021 and took the plunge in unlocking my DME by Femto. I was also the guy that said I’d never ship my DME out, but I just got sick with the alternatives, like running a jb4. So after a year and change of running the jb4 with an E blend and maxing out the car, I decided to work with Euro Performance Center to have my DME unlock. The whole process, while pricey at $1600, was super easy and seamless. EPC was easy to work with and super responsive throughout, answering each one of my questions. I removed my DME on 2/8 and it was returned back to me on 2/21. The worst part of the process was the wait and being without a car for nearly 2 weeks, but now that I’m running a bm3 with a pure 800 tuned by Paul Johnson, it was soooo worth it. If you got alocked DME and are on the fence, just do it. You wont regret it.
I have a 2023 A91 6MT and I'm really considering it. I keep hearing bad stories about JB4.
@@chrisginoc The B58 Gen 2 seem to always run lean with anything over E30. No matter the adjustments made to the jb4, it always reverted to running lean, so thats when I said F it, and went with a proper tune. The JB4 is okay, not going to bash it as its the beat piggyback unit on the market, but its still to limited in its functionality. If I were you, Id skip the idea of getting a jb4 and go the femto route.
What was the build date of your car and what was the build date of the dme? And was it a bmw or supra?
@@rosemont832021 M340i. January 2021
Kern, excellent channel! Trying to plan a tune for my new 2023 M340i and learning from your vids I'm likely screwed with this new of a DME? Is Femto or a clone my only option? Or is "time" another option when someone figures out how to unlock and flash? Enjoy it and just wait?
Personally i would probably wait but no telling how long it'll take. Femto is your only option for a flash.
Super helpful. If femto made there stuff open source the cracks would get easier and less expensive
what the tuning community needs is a different DME, maybe running open source software. If only there was enough documentation available to be able to make one.. there are plenty of software developers that are into cars that would jump at such project.
There are plenty of options. They're called standalones. They just cost $10k+
Short story. I got a custom tune on my 2015 340i (in 2021)
Then in 2022 a bmw dealer updated my DME from 2015 built to 2021 built. I went back to the tuner and he was able to flash my tune back right away using obd.
🤔
@@kern417 seems weird ?
@@georges117 absolutely lol. Which tune?
From what i researched, these locking process expired after few years from factory
@@thisistherealkit How long?
I bought a 2025 f30 car has a tune on it but idk what kind of tune if its on e85 or pumped gas how can i tell or i would have to reflash the entire car all over again
Hello, does this work for the F90 M5?
You are an absolute beast.
Appreciate it man
@@kern417 no man. We appreciate you more for making these videos and teaching us.
4:50 I’m confused. I have a 2018 model with 2022 software. I was still able to unlock via OBD today. How was this possible being I have a software update after 10/2019?
i've heard of maybe 3 people with similar circumstances. just count yourself lucky.
I hope they’re working on a bench unlock in the states
No doubt man. When it happens someone's getting rich.
Not on this subject but I'm having a major problem car has been down for one year. A Mini Countryman R60 I am trying to Flash the Cas3 Plus and cannot unlock the OL15Y I am able to read the Eeprom file and the Flash File I can also write the Eeprom file but not the Flash file as none of my tools are unlocking the chip. Is there a tool than can unlock this chip. I have used Autel IM508 and VVDI Prog without success? can anyone help. Thank you
There is an issue with all of this. Basically, if you need to replace some module, the newest software update needs to be installed in order for the module to work. According to the dealership. In short, boom, locked DME again!But i know that tuners can sort that out but that dealerships are required to do the update and cannot do it otherwise.
Hey kern, I’ve been looking all over about this information and I feel like you have the most info i’ve seen on the internet. I got rear ended in april of 2021 and had my 2018 440 tuned with bm3. I had to go through insurance so they had taken it to a bmw dealer and locked my DME. Am i still able to tune my car with Bm3 after I bench unlock my dme? (not completely sure but u can assume that my ecu is the newest version/model)
I saw some comments on the web saying that Bm3 won’t let you tune even after bench unlocking and wasn’t sure if that was true
Yes just get a bench unlock and then you can flash again
@@kern417hey kern , was looking for some help. I got my car bench unlocked today and was having problems flashing. I connected to the obd agent before i bench unlocked to make sure i can still access bootmod3. I then tried to get the obd agent working after the unlock and wasn’t able to get it flashed because the obd is not connecting for some reason. Basically my device is not able to connect to the obd port in my car. Do you have any suggestions?
any idea to get a remote start ( I am in Canada ) without I-Drive 7 ?
Not possible
I have a 2023 manual transmission Supra. I was told by a tuner that I could send the dme to Femto and they would unlock it then I could run a Reflex Motiv with it. The other option is to clone the ECU to another ECU and run Ecutek. The former is much cheaper. But according to your video it seems option one won't work unless I'm misunderstanding you.
Option 1 works but only with BM3/MHD. Ecutek does not support the regular unlock.
Also You don't need a tune to run reflex since it's a standalone controller. But most people do them together depending on your goals
@@kern417 so my goals are 600whp on 93 octane and if that's not possible then 600whp on e85.
I also don't want to go the route of cloning and Ecutek due to the cost.
So what should I do?

Ok so I just ordered my 2024 m340i rwd,I’m leasing the car but at the end of the lease I plan to finance the rest of the car, which is when I would start to tune it, the lease is 3 years, so you think within the next 3 years there will be easy ways to do this ?
i sure hope so. The fact that someone can do it is promising
What is the benefit of adding a BEF JB4 to MHD? I’d be happy with a link to read about it if you have one to share.
No real benefit in my experience. A flash tune is better
If an X3 was produced in November 2020, is it possible the ECU is pre june 2020?
No
Is there no hope for them to finally unlock the newer ECUs? I bought a 22 Supra and was hoping by 2023 they would have finally be able to unlock the ECU but it looks like there’s no hope lol
There's definitely hope. I just can't say how long it'll take 🥲
Probably by 2025 😂
Femtool got that Ex-Bosch employee who gave them the goods.
Its posible to comvert B58 motor to S58?
No
Do you mean swap a B58 with an S58?
Idk why you would want to swap it, from what I’ve heard the S58’s have weaker internals than the B58’s
2019?M550 it is 😭
