Is it possible to make you unlock solution available without sending the ECU to Russia in the future?

Right on cue. Last week BMW sent out a bulletin about a new fault code that will alert techs if there's suspicion of aftermarket tuning. Tread carefully guys.

Couple hundred for the license, then the US tuner could charge a market price. The license is pure profit, no costs other than paperwork and payment.

Who cares if the tech knows? He has nothing to do with a warranty issue. I've had work on my F-82 under warranty and never take off mods or the tune. Back when I had a warranty. Lol

No link. This was a bulletin posted by BMW to dealerships on 11/23.
Exert: Beginning on November 23, 2021 the BMW Technical Support Team is pleased to announce the rollout of the “ISTA Aftermarket Engine Tuning Detection and Repair Authorization” process. This process, recently published as service bulletin B00 04 21, describes the procedure to address vehicles which have been identified by ISTA Aftermarket Engine Tuning Detection. Vehicles identified by ISTA Aftermarket Engine Tuning Detection will alert technicians via: • Pop-up message in ISTA • Fault code S 0777 in the fault memory list |

I'm not trying to turn this into a warranty/tune debate (which has obviously been beat to death), I'm just reporting the bulletin I saw posted by BMW last week. Use that information how you please! |

I personally don't care about the warranty. I own the car outright and will tune it and do whatever I desire. I've owned tons of cars, many of them tuned, and have never had a warranty issue ever. The techs that I have dealt with in the past have all been aware of my ecu tunes and there has never been an issue. To each his own but its not something that I dwell on.
G-Power is charging $6,600.00 (converted from Euro's) for the ecu unlock and tune. That price is for 700hp at the wheel. Its about $1,000. less for the 600hp package. Last edited by TexasEd; 12-01-2021 at 03:39 PM.. |

As I understand it there are two companies that I am aware of that are advertising and selling tunes for the Gxx cars. One is G-Power located in Germany and the other is NV Motorsports in England. G-Power has two dealers in the U.S. so does this mean that they are able to tune the Gxx? I don't understand the Femtevo connnection and maybe someone could chime in that does know the details. Perhaps Femtevo has performed the ecu unlock, at a price, for these two companies and then the two companies have performed the software tuning?

And they shouldn't be the only ones. According to Femtoevo, any tuner can tune the car with whatever Tuning suite they want as long as the ECU has been unlocked first and they have the Femtoevo flasher.
