Hi all,

I have a custom BPC tune on my car which I loaded when I did the 3IM upgrade.

I took my car into an indy BMW shop to have some work done, and they upgraded some of the car's modules while they were at it, including the DME.

Does this mean my custom tune has gone? Is it possible to use the BPC tool to load the custom tune back to the DME?

I wanted to ask first in case the custom tune flash was for a specific version of the DME.

Thanks,
Kyle

if they flashed your DME, yes your tune is gone. You'll have to ask BPC whether or not it's possible to reload it.

When this happened to me I could not reload the BPC tune into my car with the my genius device. It didn’t recognize my car after the Indy reflashed and My Genius wouldn’t load any tunes on it.

In the end Bob was able to get my tuner to reflash my car by having My Genius reset and unlock my device... but my stock tune was lost forever in the process.

The only tunes I have now are BPC tunes which I frankly don’t mind lol

Something similar happened to me. My BPC device updated and I lost my stock tune.

Oh well.

Stock tunes can easily be reflashed. The only reason to back them up is for the convenience, and to keep you from using those handheld tuners to flash multiple cars.

I believe I have my tuned DME software programmed on the My Genius device. Can I hook it up to my car and try to flash it? Does the My Genius hold the entire DME software, not just parts of it?

I'm worried that the My Genius will either refuse to do anything, or screw up my DME since it will try to adjust settings on a different version than what it was originally programmed for.

Quick update to close the thread. I reached out to Bob @ BPC and he advised to NOT load the tuned file that is on the My Genius.

We have to start from the beginning.
