I'm taking my car to the dealer tomorrow for scheduled maintenance. Wondering how long it takes to flash back to stock. Is it like the initial unlock and takes a few minutes or is it like subsequent flashes that take less than a minute?

Also, is it even worth going back to stock? Thanks in advance.

not sure on the time it takes. i would definitely flash back to stock as your going to a dealership and dealerships are known for some caring about mods and voiding warranty and others may not care at all.

I contacted BM3 (proTuningFreaks) technical support. Flashing to and from stock takes a little less time than the initial unlock took. I don't trust my battery since I've had battery warnings lately. Supposedly due to the cold. I close on my house in a month, so I'll just wait until then when I can hook the car up to the battery charger while I lock the DME.

No experience with BM3.... My Active Autowerke tune takes about 2-3 minutes to flash. I hooked up to a battery the first time I did it, but have returned to stock and to Stage 1 probably 3-4 times without it since. Not sure if the time would vary much from tuner to tuner.
