BMW Bench Unlock Service by KingTuner.com

Unlock More Power. Unlock More Possibilities.

If you're ready to tune your BMW for better performance, power, and control—you need a Bench Unlock first. Starting around mid-2020, BMW began locking their DMEs (engine control units), blocking tuning access through most standard tools. That’s where KingTuner comes in.

Our BMW Bench Unlock Service gives you the freedom to flash-tune your car using your favorite platform—like Bootmod3, MHD, EcuTek, or others. Whether you're chasing more horsepower or just want a responsive daily driver, unlocking is the essential first step.

🔓 What Is the Bench Unlock?

It’s a one-time physical unlock performed directly on your DME using professional tools—enabling tuning access for life (unless BMW re-locks it via dealership software).

This service is ideal for:

• Factory-Locked DMEs (Post-06/2020 Models)

• Older Models That Received BMW Software Updates

• Owners Planning to Tune with Bootmod3, MHD, ECU ULTRA, etc.

⚙️ How the Process Works

1️⃣ Remove Your DME

Pull your vehicle’s ECU (don’t worry—we’ll guide you if needed).

2️⃣ Ship It to Us

You send the DME to our facility. Shipping cost is your responsibility.

3️⃣ We Unlock It Fast

Using specialized equipment, we unlock your DME within 1 business day of arrival.

4️⃣ We Ship It Back

Standard return shipping is included. Need it quicker? Choose 2-Day or Next-Day Air at checkout.

Note: If you have a twin-turbo V8 BMW (like the S63 engine), you’ll need to send both DMEs and purchase a quantity of 2 services.

✅ Is Your BMW Eligible?

BMW began locking DMEs in June 2020. Here’s how to know if yours qualifies:

• Build Date Before 06/2020: Likely OK

• Build Date After 06/2020: DME is likely locked

• Pre-2020 Vehicle with Dealer Update: May be locked
  Not sure? Contact us—we’ll help you confirm before you buy.

⚠️ What to Know Before You Unlock

• This service only unlocks the DME—it doesn’t include a tune

• If BMW re-flashes your ECU at the dealership, it may re-lock (requiring another unlock at additional cost)

• We handle your DME with extreme care and will notify you of any issues immediately
