[Mr NSB]

I have booked mine in for a service and have reported a problem with connecting to the car with the connected app and receiving RTTI. The service advisor thinks they may need to do a software update on the car.

Amongst other things I have FA coded 2TB sports transmission and 6NS enhanced bluetooth and I am wondering if I should return these back to standard.

What do you think?

I wouldn't think so as the reprogramming will just overwrite your coding but you are likely to lose your coding in the process

6NS is fine to flash whole car, but for 2TB ista throw hardware mismatch error.

Hmm. I think any FA coding will give the same problem. I'd return any FA coding back to standard otherwise they won't update.

Sorry Vorph but that is incorrect, Cooper Norwich could not flash my car with 6NS in the VO! I had to go down there with my laptop as they said otherwise they would have to charge me £160 to remove 6NS!

OP you need to revert the VO back to how it left the factory or they will not be able to do the update.

I had firmware update successfully with added 6NS for multiple Fxx. Usually use ista/p same as dealers, just for integration level. Never had issue with this option.
Difference is that dealer probably use online system for download data for flashing according your FA. Even this way they should be able to adapt option if expert profil is used.

Is strange that they are able to remove option but can't adapt for new measuring plan.

They said it would not let them continue, it just came up with a message telling them to install the correct hardware in the car for Enhanced BT & USB.

As far as I know, they are more safety using online programming according your FA from factory. If something goes wrong during flashing they protected as dealer use what bmw AG provide them to use.
