Should I try to revert my coding back to stock before flashing MPPSK tune?

zozman92 · 07-19-2022, 10:14 AM

Hi Everyone 👋🏻
I have a 2018 F30 340 LCI MSport.
I went ahead and got the following coded:
Full Screen Carplay (didn’t have carplay active before)
Auto start/stop to always off
Auto close of mirrors
Daytime running rear lights
M startup animation
Fog welcome lights

I don’t have much technical knowledge of coding but I read on the forums that some of these changes may have changed my VO or FA?

My question is did they change the VO/ FA?
And if so do I need to try to get the coder to revert it back to stock before I go to the dealership to flash the MPPSK tune? May this lead to a bricked head unit?
And finally can he revert it back to stock?

Sorry for being a noob. 😄

Hey,
Only revert CarPlay (if you don’t do it, nothing wrong will happen, just need to reapply activation afterwards. Flashing headunit with CarPlay loaded DON’T brick it.)
Others can remain - won’t have affect.

Thank you for the reply. Hope you’re right. The dealer made me worry it would be a big issue.

Any other opinions guys?
I’ve seen people on this forum have locked or bricked head units.
Want to make sure this won’t happen in my case.

No one EVER has bricked/locked headunit because of CarPlay activation. Brick can happen during normal flash.
