Exciting news for BMW tuning enthusiasts! Bootmod3 (BM3) is on the verge of releasing its highly anticipated OBD unlock feature. Despite the holiday season and reduced staff, the BM3 team has been diligently working on expanding their DME Read feature, a key component of the Diagnostics screen, to bring this functionality to users.
For those unfamiliar, OBD unlock is a game-changer for BMW owners looking to tune their vehicles. Traditionally, unlocking the DME (Digital Motor Electronics) for tuning required physically removing it from the car and sending it in for bench unlocking – a process that could be inconvenient and time-consuming. With OBD unlock, this process is streamlined, potentially allowing users to unlock their DME directly through the OBD port, simplifying the tuning process significantly.
The team behind BM3 has been leveraging their time during long flights to refine this feature. They emphasize that software development, especially reverse engineering, can be unpredictable. Progress isn’t always linear; sometimes breakthroughs happen suddenly after periods of slow progress. This mirrors the development journey of the initial BM3 release back in 2015-2016, highlighting their commitment to thorough and reliable updates.
Current OBD unlock solutions from providers like Magic Motorsports, Frieling, and CMD already allow for full DME readouts, which are compatible with BM3. The upcoming BM3 update will further enhance accessibility. Even if your DME has already been unlocked using another method, BM3’s enhanced DME read feature will provide a seamless way to activate BM3 without needing to physically access the DME again. This means easier onboarding, custom tuning, and full access to the suite of BM3 features. This is particularly relevant for BMW owners in areas like 90705, who are seeking convenient and efficient tuning solutions.
Stay tuned for more updates very soon as BM3 prepares to roll out this significant OBD unlock feature, making BMW tuning more accessible than ever.
