Does bmTuned run on the new Mac M1 & M2?

Yes, bmTuned runs natively on both intel processors and the new ARM processors — M1 & M2 — for the best experience.

Do my vehicle settings stay the same between devices or reinstalls?

Yes, all of your settings are saved in Your Garage and can be managed from any device — Windows, macOS, iOS, Android — starting exactly where you left off. You may edit settings directly from your garage (the website) and then view those settings from any device using the app after it has been restarted.

How do I apply a license or redeem a license code I have?

You can check support for your vehicle either by connecting to your vehicle directly within the app, which will show if your vehicle is supported and then what features are supported, or you may also view support / compatibility for your vehicle from each product page directly — bmTuned AWD or bmTuned TCU. Future support will be added and features increased so keep checking back if you find your vehicle not supported.
