VIN ATM
#7
i can´t tell you if it´s worth it / possible.
- depending on regulations in your country, the TCB eSIM might be blocked from connections to 4g network. in that case, transfering the eSIM into an ATM would be useless since most countries deactivate the 3g network this year.
- according to some people in the CarTechnology Forum, apart from the eSim you also need to transfer a second chip, that stores the IMEI.
- transfering chips isn´t easy because the eSIM could be damaged easily if done wrong
- after swapping everything, you will still only be able to subscribe to services that you also can now. e.g. if you can´t add RTTI right now, you still won´t be able to do so after the transfer.
- with the transfered eSIM, in some cases "remote services" stopped working

most people use a CAN-Filter and code the HU with the donor VIN from the ATM. I don´t know what happens, if you go to a BMW dealership. maybe someone else can answer this question.
instead of using a can-filter to change the HU VIN, there is also an patch for the HU that can be applied with feature installer or FEMToEvo. In that case, your HU will still have the car VIN and the ATM the donor VIN. If you use the ATM with donor VIN and the HU with original VIN, it is possible that the ATM after some time will get blocked from connections to the BMW servers.
