Description
BMW and MINI vehicles manufactured from June 2020 onward are equipped with factory-locked Bosch ECUs/DMEs, preventing traditional ECU tuning and remapping. The FEMTO Unlock Service provides a professional solution to unlock these ECUs, enabling full tuning access for performance upgrades.
This service is intended for regular BMW and MINI (non-M models) with a single Bosch ECU. Once unlocked, your ECU will be ready for custom performance tuning using PSR Parts Performance Custom Tuning, Bootmod3, or MHD.
How the FEMTO Unlock Process Works
-
The ECU/DME must be physically removed from the vehicle
-
You can ship the ECU to us or bring the vehicle to our workshop for inspection
-
We verify whether the ECU is locked
-
If locked, the ECU is sent to FEMTO (Finland) for unlocking
-
Once unlocked, the ECU is returned and ready for tuning
⚠️ Important: The vehicle will not be drivable while the ECU is removed.
Turnaround Time
-
Typical FEMTO unlock time: 3–5 working days after express shipping to Finland
-
As this service is performed by a third party (FEMTO), lead times cannot be guaranteed
