50i Tune and DME removal.
Hi guys, I'm trying to install Bootmod3 onto my X5. It failed twice, and was advised that dealership must've installed a update to my ECU and DME would need to be removed to have it bench flashed. Is write up somewhere to remove this? Is this something easy I can do in the garage? Yes, I tried the search function and nothing came up for the F15/16 chassis.

The entire BMW workshop manuals for all models are located at the link below. Type in the last 7 of your VIN, then search for DME removal. Take pics of the DME connectors and cable routing before you remove them, it will help when installing them. https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/ |

You can still register, or you can look for instructions in ISTA.

Somewhere, I ran across a screenshot of the Bootmod3 app where it warns the user that the DME has been locked down and will have to be bench-unlocked but allows the user to proceed anyway. My hunch is that the unfortunate OP may have pushed past that warning and it's now in a broken state of limbo. The detection of the lockdown may only be included in the latest release of the Bootmod3 software, since the BMW update that caused this is recent; so if the OP wasn't on the latest software then there may have been no warning signs that he was headed for trouble. I sure hope he/she gets this thing straightened out. The dealership will be an avenue of last resort, and I don't envy him/her if they have to have the car towed in and have the dealership rake them over the coals.
