DME unlocking for 2020+

Does anyone know if FEMTO is still the only one that can unlock a 2020+ DME? I have a 2020 JCW with a build date of 07/19 and I read that all Minis with a build date after 06/19 must be sent to FEMTO in Finland to have their DMEs unlocked. Is this still the case? I sure hope not, because I really want my car tuned, but $3000 just for the unlock is ridiculous!

Hi @dannieh42 this was something I briefly looked into a while ago and never received a straightforward answer so I stopped looking.

Contact KIES Motorsports they’re based in New Jersey and recently posted videos on their YouTube channel about BMW DME unlocking and the process.

Hopefully you find a solution at a reasonable price 😃

Have a great day -Rich

Yes Femto is still the only place that can unlock those DMEs however that is from 06/2020 build date. Your 2019 build date will require a bench unlock but the basic type that can be done locally at any BMW/Mini performance shop 🤙🏼
