[Paddy]

I need more information. What steps did you take, what cable do you have, are you using the latest version?

I had to reflash the ECU in WinKFP.
the ecu has water damage. can i get the ews. copy?
I got cables from doitAuto. never had any problems with

[Martyn]

You can try and get the SK depending on whether its responding, I personally woudn't try writing with that cable though.

[Paddy]

have now ordered a cable with EdiabasLib firmware. thank you

[Kaikane40]

[Paddy]

does anyone have the pinout for reading and writing on the table?

Hi guys I have an MSS65, I read the left side today, but the right side I can't read it, my BDM is a KTAG, anyone know why please?

I have so many questions...

I bought the special bimmergeeks cable following the instructions in the OP. I probably already have 6 cables that would work but it's best not to brick the ECUs.

I have two E9X M3s, a 2013 6MT E92 and a 2011 DCT E90. Both have different aftermarket tunes on them. Originally the 2013 was the track car and has a catless tune, but now the situation is reversed. I would like to basically swap tunes.
To do this, I 'read tune' from car 1, save the file, then go to car 2 and 'flash tune'?

My tunes were encrypted and it was unable to read them. I would imagine you would have the same issue?

In order to find out all I have to do is try to read the tune? 'Read tune'?

Yes, try it and let us know how it goes. I was planning to order a new cable and try it out, but haven't yet.

Shouldn't we be able to bypass tune read protections on the ECUs?

What if I have a tune with read protection but want to remove or add cold start for example? There should be a way to do that

I think it's done for tuners IP protection and to force you to go back to the tuner to make any changes.

Unfortunately with the way the flash routines are setup on the MSS6x, it's not really doable without wiping out the tune altogether. If you can do a BDM backup then it'd be possible to defeat the bypass in there and reflash, but unless you own a very early M3, your DME will be BDM locked.

My build date is 2008-04-10 is that early enough?

I don’t think so. The used dme I bought had a build date near there and was locked until I unlocked it.

If you’d be able to reflash your tune afterwards, I suppose you can restore to stock, do a full backup, unlock the dme, restore the backup, flash the tune, and then read the full contents over bdm.
