You've purchased a bootmod3 license and are looking to activate it and use the bootmod3 features. Here are the steps that outline how to accomplish that.

1) DME UNLOCK with bootmod3 Dealer and Activation Request to bootmod3 Tech Support

If working with our authorized dealer they'll have the stock DME readout provided to us with your VIN through our support website, here:

https://bootmod3.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1

We register your car using the provided VIN and set it up with the stock file provided. That file becomes your Stock Tune to switch to whenever/if you need to (e.g. service visit, etc).

2) Connect to the OBD port with ENET cable BM3 OBD Agent (Laptop version or WIFI box) and Activate

Next, to connect your car to the bootmod3 servers you need to connect the OBD port in the car (footwell) with an ENET cable to either your laptop or the bootmod3 WIFI Device, whichever you prefer to use.

If using a laptop you need to download the latest OBD Agent to your laptop from here:

OBD Agent connects your vehicle to the bootmod3 servers and allows you to use the website or the mobile apps to diagnose, program various ECUs in the car, datalog, etc.

You start the laptop based OBD Agent by double clicking on the start.bat file (if on Windows) or double clicking on the agentapp.jar (if on macOS). Once it starts up you’ll see a BM3 logo and a message saying Agent Connection is UP. NOTE: Java 8 needs to be installed on your laptop, click here to download.

Alternatively, if using the bootmod3 WIFI Device it comes preconfigured and you simply power it up from a USB connection in your vehicle and connect it to the OBD port with the ENET cable. It will attempt to auto-connect to a WIFI network called bootmod3, password bootmod3, and then connect with the bootmod3 servers. You can start a WIFI hotspot on your phone for the device to use as your hotspot's data connection, or, you can change the default WIFI settings on the WIFI device by following these instructions.

Next, while the car is connected and ignition is (engine off), you need to activate your car. Here’s the link to the bm3 website:

http://www.bootmod3.net

NOTE: Each VIN being registered needs its own bootmod3 account signup on the web or app.

Click on the Add Vehicle button on the Devices screen. IF the OBD agent is running and connected to the car you'll see the VIN displayed and an Activate button which you can click to finish activation.

Once activated you will see your VIN in the devices screen and a label on it indicating “OBD CONNECTED”. Activation is complete.

At this point your account is activated and you will have your Stock Tune under My Maps unless we've worked with your bootmod3 dealer to add the additional OTS map to your account.

If you only see a Stock Tune under My Maps please open a support ticket with us on our tech support portal and we'll have the OTS tune pushed to your account:
