unlocking ECUs for tune
Is this ever going to happen stateside? I’ve been holding off on a tune hoping someone will be able to unlock the ECUs over here. Anyone remotely close?

No there isn’t only Femto. It’s not even bad anymore mine was a 4 day turn around. I sent it on a Monday and got it back on a Thursday.

Can you share who else unlocks LCI ECUs other than Femto?

He missed a comma. He meant to answer no there isn’t, only femto.

Will not happen in USA for a very long time, it is a highly protected protocol. If more people know how its done the higher the chance of BMW patching it. Send it off to Femto.

It's so expensive! I spoke to my local shop in Australia and it's about $7K for both DMEs. Ouch.
The shop owner indicated there might be a solution coming to do it locally. Not sure how real though. |

unlock price is $1000 per ecu and $800 shipping there and back. you also need a Bm3 license registered prior to the ecus being shipped out $1000. so 7k even with a custom map seems excessive.

Some of y’all are getting 2 different unlocks confused. Pre 06/20 just requires a bench unlock which there is a bunch of guys doing that in the states. After 06/20 needs a femto unlock which is when it goes to Finland

My car is June 2020 so fingers crossed it's just a bench unlock. Last edited by choppedliver; 07-21-2023 at 04:53 PM.. |

That puts it at $3800-$4000 to unlock before you start paying for tunes
