DME Unlock service provided by Femto in Finland. All A90 Supra vehicles with a production date after 07/2020 require the Femto unlock for flash-based tuning. At this time, this cannot be Bench unlocked in-house.
Once your MDG1 series DME is unlocked, this enables OBD based tuning. This is required beforehand for such platforms as Bootmod3, and MHD Tuning through the OBD2 Port.
Starting July 2020 and onward, all A90 Supra DMEs produced were shipped with an updated bootloader that rendered OBD Flash Tuning using existing protocols impossible. For a short time, there was no solution for this problem. Currently, as the community still anxiously waits for a US-Based DME Unlock for MG1 DMEs, there is a solution available. The company known as Femto offers a mail-in service now known as the Femto Unlock. This unlocks your DME, making OBD Flash Programming possible. International Shipping costs are not included, but average cost of International Shipping/Receiving of your DME is ~$350.
Unlocking Process Outline
- Purchase the Unlock procedure from this page. With purchase, you’re also purchasing your Return Shipping Label.
- For those planning on running Bootmod3, you must create an account and activate your vehicle prior to removing your DME
- Remove your DME from your vehicle
- Mail your DME to our facility for preparation
- Typical wait time is 5-7 days (sometimes sooner) in which your DME will be unlocked and returned to you
- Reinstall DME in your vehicle, remember to turn off OTA updates
- Flash with your preferred Flash Tune
In the meantime your DME will be shipped via DHL to Femto/Finland, where it will be unlocked and returned to you or our facility in Anaheim, CA. In most cases with standard shipping this is about ~5-7 day turnaround, sometimes sooner in some cases. Additionally, as an added safeguard - we add Apple AirTag tracking devices to each DME shipment prior to shipping.
Looking those for a DME Unlock for a vehicle produced Pre-07/2020, we can Bench Unlock in-house.
Note: BM3 License & VIN must be activated before pulling your DME. BM3 CustomROM will not be able to load if your license is not activated and VIN of your car is not in the BM3 user database. OTA Updates must be disabled in iDrive to prevent accidental tune removal, in which an Unlock process will be required again. When DME is reinstalled, OTA updates must be disabled to prevent accidental remote programming.
