Are you kidding? This is going to piss me off if true. I never received a letter and today I was notified my subscription ended and my car is actually at the dealer right now getting something checked out. I just emailed them to ask why I couldn't renew my subscription and I came on here to find this thread. |

That should certainly lock the DME if it's a full system update, but you stated it didn't???

Most seem concerned that this Telematics firmware update will come alongside other BMW system software updates, that may even include getting a DME version update that locks the DME. Kinda like they give you a bundled set of updates vs. ala carte. (Why wouldn’t they just update the systems only relevant to the 3G/4G functions?)
It’s seems mainly from folks who are currently not running a tune but want to in the future (or want to retain that option). My Q is kinda opposite: I’m already on MHD tuning. I’m out of warranty (BMW & CPO). I installed the tune after those ran out, so my Dealer SA isn’t aware yet. I have an active Connected subscription, and got the notice and offer of the free 3G fix/update. I’d like the update. Should I bring it in as-is (tuned), or flash back to stock first? Can they apply a bundled update to my car with the tune installed? (Does that just skip the DME update piece, if one was included, and just do the rest? Or will it all fail if any part of it fails? Or could they be unable to do the Telematics update since they can’t/won’t update the DME over my tune? If I flash back, there’s that risk they could then update my DME to a version that locks it. Could previously having a tune installed on their DME be sufficient to explain how pdxpeter seems to have received a DME software version bundled with their Telematics update that based-on-date would seem it indicate a locked DME, but it isn’t, since they were able to flash their tune back afterwards? Like once tuned the DME is permanently unlocked? Ideas and opinions welcome. I’ll be making my 3G/4G update offer appointment soon. Tom |

My vehicle is eligible for the upgrade also but my dealer is not aware of this program, so it would require some convincing to the higher-ups. |

Strange, my RTTI stopped working on Monday. Haven't received any notice in mail or email about a free upgrade.
Is there any harm in asking the dealer if the update locks the DME? I guess you get flagged, but if out of warranty, who cares? What happens if the DME is locked with respect to flash tunes? |

Got my notice that my 3/15 build is out of connectivity and not available for upgrade. Pretty bummed, but also gives me reason to have an NBT EVO coded to my vin and use it for carplay...

Just had a friend with a 6 series tell me the same thing. He got the "your car is not fixable, so sorry email."

As long as you have an active subscription they should be able to do the upgrade. I called BMW assist and they were confused. One rep told me it wouldn't be eligible and one said to call the dealer. Dealer said it's eligible and to setup an appointment.
