After that, you can simply tune with MHD.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the March 2019 software revision, BMW ships the Bosch DME locked from the factory to prevent tuning via the OBD port. The unlock is a one-time, safe patch: it removes the lock and leaves your car's factory performance otherwise untouched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNew since August 2026: many more cars can now be done in-house\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUntil recently, we could only unlock cars built before June 2020 ourselves. After that, the engine computer hardware changed and the DME had to be shipped out. Since August 2026, we can also unlock the newer Bosch control units MG1CS201, MG1CS024, and MG1CS049 ourselves. For most of the G-series, that means no more shipping and no more waiting: just an appointment in Elburg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be done in-house for your car?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt before June 2020:\u003c\/strong\u003e always, regardless of model or engine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt from June 2020 onward:\u003c\/strong\u003e in most cases, yes.
