Unlock BMW 2020+ MDG1 DDE8 DME8 ECUs with Autotuner

Now you can unlock BMW Bosch 2020+ MG1/MD1 ECUs with Autotuner via remote unlock.

Things are getting serious for Bosch MDG1 ECUs fitted from 2020 onwards across BMW platforms! 

The DDE8 and DME8 versions, featuring the new Bosch protection, are now supported in BENCH after Remote Unlock, with your Autotuner Tool:

MD1CP032 — TC299
MD1CS001 — TC298
MG1CS024 — TC298
MG1CS049 — TC298
MG1CS201 — TC298
To check if an ECU is supported, perform a BENCH identification with your AT Tool.

The application will then indicate one of the three following cases:

The ECU can be handled directly in BENCH. 
The ECU requires a Remote Unlock. 
The ECU is not yet supported. 
Once BENCH operations are available, you can always perform the OBD Unlock with your AT Tool, and then also benefit from full support with your AT One.

And to make things easier: if a Remote Unlock is required, our team will automatically apply the OBD Unlock during the process. 

Good news: A dealership update has no impact on the Remote Unlock.
