Head Unit H5 or MGU22
For those of you that have this head unit can you code anything with bimmercode? In case you dont know what head unit you have go to system setting>Regulatory notes> head unit and see what it says. Thank you.

LCI vehicles can not be coded with any tool since BMW switched to Secure Coding.

Secure coding means the configuration data that you would normally be able to customize per ECU with tools like BimmerCode is now signed by BMW backend to mitigate unauthorized changes. Even dealers cannot modify. The dealers or anyone with access to BMW can load signed/secure coding data during ECU updates and replacements but cannot make custom changes from factory. The only changes that dealers and some others can do is retrofits for things that are already capable (VO Coding) like adding a tow hitch as an example.

Is this ability removed to prevent OBD car theft?

It is not related to that as far as I know.

We haven not seen anything that would prevent you from doing that.
