INTRODUCING THE SIMON 3 BMW TUNING PROGRAMMER

***THE SIMON 3 TUNING PROGRAMMER IS A TOOL USE TO READ AND WRITE TO YOUR ECU, IT IS ONLY SOLD WITH THE ACTUAL PERFORMANCE SOFTWARE.

Before the SIMON 3, tuning your BMW required you to send your ECU to a BMW tuner - like Active Autowerke - to have the software modified/uploaded by expert engineers. The ECU would then be re-packaged and shipped back to you for re-installation. In short, it was AT MINIMUM a 3-day fiasco.

That didn't sit well with us. Fortunately, the days of helplessly waiting on your ECU to return are long gone - thanks to the newly released, all-new SIMON 3. The SIMON 3 gives control back to the user; to upload, update, and upgrade your BMW's software tuning. All you need is the SIMON 3, a laptop running Windows only ( MAC will not work ), and access to the internet for e-mail correspondence!

SIMON 3 KEY FEATURES:

  • Downtime is eliminated
  • Married to initial vehicle VIN
  • More efficient & affordable than previous generations
  • Provides complete control over engine and some gearbox functions
  • Multiple maps included at minimal cost
  • Diagnose & clear all engine and transmission error codes
  • Easily reset - eliminates loss of customized tune after BMW dealer re-flash
  • Erases current DME adaptions (DME will now read and adapt strictly from new tuning maps)

WHY THE SIMON 3?

Flexibility

With past tuning tools, resetting the device after being flashed back to OEM-specs by a BMW dealer became quite problematic. A manufacturer software issue locked the devices into Write Mode after the first tune was written to the vehicle. Getting the tool back into the proper "Read Mode" was a complicated endeavor; we knew our next programming tool would have to have the flexibility to ALWAYS READ AND WRITE AT ANY TIME.

Value

Compared to the G5, the SIMON 3 has a much more consumer-friendly price, making it much easier to bundle the tool with a file tune or two (or three!) for your BMW. This simply wasn't possible with the G5 as it proved too costly for our consumers.

Advanced Technology

After flashing a tune, error codes are commonly generated in both Automatic transmissions and DCT gearboxes. Unlike the G5 and SIMON 1, the SIMON 3 Remote Tuning Cable provides the ability to erase these error codes.

BM3 Vehicle Compatibility and Unlock Status Check Procedure

Connect to your vehicle, (you need to get an OBD2 Ethernet cable and an MFI certified adapter cable if applicable or a WiFi adapter) start the OBD agent (you can get it here: https://www.bootmod3.net/downloads/ or our APP) and before you’re about to log in on https://www.bootmod3.net , click on the ‘check support' button on the right-hand side. If using our app, login, click on vehicle and you should have this information (if locked or unlocked) already displayed on that page.

Message written in bold letters under your software ID's will let you know if we have support for your engine type. It will also tell you if you need a bench unlock or not, and what type of an unlock is needed if you do need one.

If the message states that your DME requires a bench unlock before flash-tuning your vehicle, you will need to reach out to one of our authorized dealers and inquire about a bench unlock. The listing for all of our authorized dealers can be found in the link attached below.
