Exclamation THEY'VE DONE IT! - Custom tuning via OBD-II - NO DME UNLOCK REQUIRED

Hi all,

With the recent news the they've found a way to tune the F Series ECUs via OBD-II with no DME Unlock required, I thought it would be a great opportunity to made a video explaining all the various different approaches to increasing engine performance via Piggyback systems like JB4, and Custom Flash methods.

Think of this an all emcompassing guide to everything you should know before you choose how you'd like to go about tuning your car.



Details are scarce regarding this new flashing method, but what we know is it's done via OBD-II, and it doesn't require the ECU/DME to be removed front he car to be unlocked like previous methods required.

My guess is it will be a while before we see tuning suites developed for this new method, but this is BIG EXCITING NEWS for us all!

MHD flash tune will be available for the F-series in January. All the tuning is done through an android device.

Looks to me like a security hole if even engine tuning can be done via OBD-2. Your friendly BMW dealer will probably patch it up at your next service visit. But I hope I am ignorant/wrong because it sounds exciting.

Tuning via OBD is commonplace in most vehicles these days.
