Drivetrain Full Flash via OBD2 has arrived for the MINI-F56 Platform
#26
I'm a Mac guy too, but luckily I bought a like new windows 10 laptop just for esys. Not long after that the bimmercode app came out and I had no use for it. Good thing I hung on to it. Wonder if I can use the same cable as the esys cable.

We have successfully tested the flashing of a MINI F56 stock ECU via the OBD2. Yep, no need to open the ECU for unlocking; everything can be done through the OBD port. Our software has been updated (see pics)... Stay tuned for release date!
Bytetronik FlashAccess software updated to perform full OBD2 flashing w/o removing the ECU.

Will this run on a Mac with Windows emulation?

Can't speak to this specific bit of software, but Macs haven't emulated Windows since they switched to Intel processors, they actually run Windows. It might be easiest to make it work if you use Boot Camp, as that boots the Mac up in Windows and isn't running two OSs concurrently, but that said with some careful attention to settings I have never had a problem getting any of my Macs to run Windows only software in Parallels (VMWare not so much).
Hope that helps!

Semantics, Freudian Slip,
Im running Windows on Bootcamp.
Respectfully, the question was directed at Bytetronik, and their software.

I flashed my Infiniti using the same method, and recoded the stock rom before going into the dealer, the dealer never knew.

My past experience with OBD tuners via cable was that the company (Uprev) would have me download my ECM ROM (DME ROM for MINI owners) via the license cable, and send them the ROM
Then my unlocked ROM would be returned to me for the tuner or me to manipulate.
Along with my stock ROM to reflash when needed.
A basic tuned ROM could be sent if requested, which could be tweaked if needed.
Not all of the same model cars had the same ROM. Thus sending the stock ROM in.
MINI has a mandatory DME reflash dated 4/2017, in which any MINI that came in to the dealer got flashed.
Mine is one of them.
If MINI supposedly has the same ROM for say all F56S models, there are now at least 2 different ones out there.
When you say you will include a stock tune (ROM), and a tuned ROM, where do you get the stock ROM?
I would be afraid "going back to stock" before going to the dealer would expose manipulation if my ROM wasn't the latest one.

In a nutshell, here is how the process should go:
- Customer receives the OBD Flashing device
- They install the FlashAccess software
- They connect the OBD device and query their ecu
- Email their ECU's software and hardware version over to us.
- Within 24 hours, we will send over a rom file to flash into the ECU
