Used bootmod3 remove DME or no?

I did a search and I'm getting different answers.

I'm looking at buying a used bootmod3 for my 2019 M2C.

I contacted protuningfreaks and it looks like I can buy a used one, plug it in and download an OTS map at no additional charge...but I don't want to mess with this if I have to remove the DME and send it out to be unlocked.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

You'll need to determine if the software on your 2019 DME is old enough to be flashed tuned or if it's newer software and it will need to be bench unlocked. I don't know offhand how to check, but perhaps PTF can tell you how to find the software version so you know.
