Just got back from having mine done by the dealer I bought from.
When I asked what the 'fix' is he said he wasn't allowed to tell me, because if he did, then I might tell someone, then they might tell someone else, then eventually the thieves would find out and they'd find a way around it. Seems the horse has already bolted on that one! He said (in a very confident manner) that BMW have 'fixed it' and there's nothing to worry about. Hmmmm....when I asked if I could take my Diskloc out of the boot and leave it in the house he smiled nervously and didn't answer directly....I'll keep using the Diskloc till I'm 100% sure this 'fix' is as good as he thought.

I suspect dealerships will just charge this back to BMW UK and hence are more willing to take the work on. |

Got mine booked in for next week ... they said they can do it while I wait (having checked the model) and that it would take 20 minutes ... I hope I am not there hours later !

I had mines done at Croydon BMW
Asked the service desk what does the update do he said " shuts down the obd port when the car is lock. " I asked you sure its not just to disable the windows via the key hole he said "no " I just tested it and it's a lie Your right you can not wind down the glass via the key in the door lock after the update and the port is still active after you lock the car I lock my car ( heard the chirps ) but left the window down and waiting for the light by the automatic gear shift to turn off Reach it and put the cable I do coding with and the light on the plug came on wtf !!!! |

At if you try to pull the info out CAS, it will happily give you and that is what you needed to code a key.

Yep, my dealer also told me the port is now disabled - clearly the party line from BMW or the dealers best guess in the absence of correct info from HQ

I have not read this thread fully but I presume this "fix" is to "disable the obd port"?
I am thinking once updated, get the service manager to come and have a look by leaving the window open, locking the car waiting few minutes and then plugging in my inpa laptop and seeing the looks on their faces Needless to say once updated the obd port will be moving back into its secret location |

My dealer wouldn't tell me what the upgrade did ... why are people so sure it only does the window ?
Lots of things are said on forums ... a lot is complete rubbish ... and a lot is not - how are we to know ?? I will keep using my Disclok for now on the basis the thieves will try anyway even if the fix is a 100% cure - it is going to take them a while to find out they can't nick the cars ... assuming they can't |

Because when I asked the dealer what the fix was he said "it will stop the windows lowering with the key which is how the thieves were getting in - they can still smash the window sir if they really wanted" Thanks

As already said, to prevent this being possible will require more than a software update
