Is BimmerCode Reaching The End?
I posted a question on the X5 forum concerning Head Unit H 5. This is one of the responses:
All LCI vehicles have High Head Unit 5/MGU22. The regulatory notes do not tell you which head unit is in the vehicle but rather which head units can be used. We have had folks with X7's built last Sept show MGU22. LCI vehicles can not be coded with any tool since BMW switched to Secure Coding. Secure coding means the configuration data that you would normally be able to customize per ECU with tools like BimmerCode is now signed by BMW backend to mitigate unauthorized changes. Even dealers cannot modify. The dealers or anyone with access to BMW can load signed/secure coding data during ECU updates and replacements but cannot make custom changes from factory. The only changes that dealers and some others can do is retrofits for things that are already capable (VO Coding) like adding a tow hitch as an example. |

Yep, this works for my 240i MY23, but may not for the MY24
