Great video! Just wanted to clarify on the G series chassis. It doesn’t matter if the automatic updates are turned off on the app correct? I for some reason cannot get them to stay off. Whenever I turn them off and close out the app and come back it automatically has them back on.
It's a bug in the app. Try this: Uncheck it, close the app, reopen, and it will be checked again, but now back out of the menu and go back into it without closing the app, and it will actually be unchecked, as it should be. I haven't got any update notifications so I'm pretty sure unchecking works. If it doesn't, then in the worst case it will download the update to your phone and just give a notification that you need to update. For the update to actually take place requires an entire manual process of you transferring the update to the car, then starting it after clicking "confirm" a handful of times. It won't automatically perform the update on iDrive 8, and I assume the other versions as well.
@@robs8467 You should send the payment only after an invoice is created for you, as you need to verify all the information. In my case, this only took 8 hours after creating the order.
If you select "I'm paying back shipping costs by invoice" then you only need to print the shipping label to send it to them. They will then print their own when sending it back.
thanks for the video. quick question, did you have to buy the "MHD/BM3" license first, and link to your DME before removing and sending to Femto? Or did you do all of that once you get your DME back? I've heard conflicting things regarding that part of the process
@@blazed-_-meza8912 Super, as I needed the Flasher, Monitor, and Map Pack as I'm using OTS (which is sufficient for the stock turbo). If you're going to get a custom tune then you don't need the Map Pack. You still need the other two however, as you can only flash one vehicle per Flasher license as it is associated with a VIN. The Monitor is self-explanatory, as you need to collect and analyze logs if you at all care about the health and performance of your vehicle.
Man this process is such a hassle, glad I got a 2020 with a bench unlock
Thanks for the video I have a 2024 g42 and about to send my DME to femto also!
Good luck!
And how did it go?

Thank you . Just to be clear … one can reconnect the battery w/o the ECU connected and it’s all good?
Yeah, you'll just get a drivetrain malfunction (self-explanatory) message until you reconnect it.
Very helpful video. Do you have to wait till payment is requested or can you send payment in advance to save time?

Quick question, so for the paying return shipping through invoice. I dont need to print any shipping label? They’ll be doing that is that correct?

@ gotcha! Appreciate you. Bout to send mine soon. Thank you for this video

The tuning license has nothing to do with the Femto unlock, you can purchase it before or after.
@@aedgarwhich license did you go with on mhd
