How can we
support you?

BYTEREAD currently supports BMW E46 and E9x (E90-E93) models. F-Series support (F2x, F3x, F8x, F87) is coming in the next few months via OTA update. VAG group vehicles are planned after that. Contact us to verify compatibility for your specific model and engine.

BYTEREAD is fully plug-and-play and reversible. It does not modify any factory systems. Under EU consumer protection directives and the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (US), the manufacturer must prove the device caused a failure to deny warranty coverage.

Yes. BYTEREAD connects directly via CAN bus, leaving your OBD2 diagnostic port completely free for service visits, tuning tools, or inspections. No splitters needed.

Connect your BYTEREAD to WiFi (via the display settings or the app). When an update is available, you can install it from the app with one tap or directly from the display. No cables or SD cards needed.

BYTEREAD can be easily removed and transferred to another compatible BMW. Simply swap the vehicle-specific vent bracket (available separately or included with a new vehicle kit) and update the vehicle profile in the app.

Yes, the BYTEREAD Companion App is included free with every BYTEREAD device. Available on both iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play). Sign in with your Google or Apple ID.

The GPS module is optional. You only need it if you want GPS-synchronized performance timers (0-100, quarter mile, etc.), track data logging, and Race Log analysis in the app. It's included in the Pro and Track editions.

Yes, the BLE Expansion Board connects to your BYTEREAD display wirelessly via Bluetooth Low Energy. No cable routing through your car needed. It's included in the Track edition or available as a separate add-on.

The OBD2 Blocker is a PIN-protected anti-theft feature included in every BYTEREAD. When activated, it blocks unauthorized access through the OBD2 port, which is a common method used for keyless car theft on BMWs.

Exhaust flap control and exhaust burble features are intended for off-road and track use only. Check your local regulations regarding noise and emissions compliance before using these features on public roads.
