SOFTWARE VERSION 3.0 (FOR BMW MoDiC)

How to load the 3.0 Software

To help deter theft of your MoDiC from your service shop, a secret code has been built into the 3.0 and 1.0 software that will prevent an unauthorized person downloading the software.

Software must be downloaded when:

1. Memory batteries in the MoDiC die;
2. Fifty control units have been encoded;
3. New updated software has become available. When ordering a MoDiC, the order form (available from the BMW Product and Service Engineering Department) has a space for the name of your authorized person. The secret access code will be sent to your authorized person via a separate communication.
4. The 3.0 encoding program must be loaded to perform E31 encoding.
