Oh well, think I'll get on this shortly
BMW is a company designed to make money and this would cost them money. They can just advertise it as a new feature for MY22 or whatever and people unfamiliar with coding would be further tempted to upgrade to a newer car, thus making them more money. Or if they lock us out of coding, we'd have no choice but to upgrade to get the feature.

That doing this change now will lock-out a module and cause problems?

Specifically the KAFAS4 portion

Or is that only for the G16 , not G20 series?

I'm interested in trying this coding along with the others I've done so far, but don't want to pooch my car!
I haven't heard of anyone being locked out on the G20 yet
