2020 M2C with a manufactured date of 03/2019 = open DME?

According to Mdecoder, my 2020 M2C was manufactured in 03/2019, my thinking is they had to have used a DME from that era, so its pre 5/2020 which should mean it's tunable, correct?

If you download the MHD S55 tuner app, you can check for FREE if your car is unlocked.

You do not need to create an account or buy anything to check. 👍🏼

It should be OBDII port unlockable. If you got unlucky, it would still be unlockable with a bench flash.

Thanks for the heads up, although I don't see an S55 version, is it the F+G series version?

Thanks.
It seems I can't use a standard BT dongle like my Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+, so I would need to buy their WIFI dongle which is expensive, and I see there is no PC option, so this is not really a free way of checking unfortunately.

I used my OBD2 dongle I bought of Amazon. I would make sure you are connecting it properly just in case. I don't own MHD tool or use their app. I just did the same thing as you. Possibly ur adapter ain't compatible

Actually I didn't try since my adapter is BT and their site specifically calls for a WIFI dongle.

I guess I can try my Veepeak tomorrow.

Hmm actually you might be right, I may have plugged my OBD2 port into my iPhone with the adapter I have… I can't remember which. Sorry for the confusion

In your situation you can't go by date. BMW released the new bootloader OBD lock with the 03/2019 flash data. At the factory they start using the new data right away.

Also, has your car been updated by the dealership since?
