BMW G12 Telematic system

ggonxhi · 04-27-2024, 01:00 AM

I’m in need of a telematic unit replacement but I’m really confused on the programming issue.

Can a used telematic unit from eBay be programmed?
Or do I need to buy a new one?

Also is bmw dealership the only place that can program this?

Thank you.

No warranty ? Don;t think a used unit can be programmed as it must matches the VIN. I know it can be done on some BMs but not sure on G11. Ask Local dealer.

No personal experience, but I've heard that ATM2 units can be reassigned to another vehicle. No such luck with ATM1 units and only way is brand new one. With either generation, you need dealer or authorized indie who has access to BMW's S-Gate system in order to register the module with backend servers.
