onahi:
Do you think, in the future HEX will have access to the BMW bikes firmware to allow users to update themselves at home ?

schuppi:
Never, I don't think so!

Firmware update requires an online connection to the BMW factory server and that's why
BMW never allows such updates 8)

onahi:
It would make sense to give access. It would free hours and hours up in their workshops. Everyone has an internet connection.

When a Dealer does ECU firmware updates & encounters issues the Dealer is backed up by BMW who then ensures the owner of the bike is protected from any expense for failed ECU's etc so the legal issues with others doing firmware updates are significant

onahi:
It's firmware. Like any other firmware.
