Has Steve Dinan cracked the DME code?

Flash tunes apparently coming for some post 6/2020 models.

No he didn’t. This is right from the product page:

Special Instructions: The DME(s) need to be pulled out of the engine bay and shipped to Europe for unlock before flashing can be done at the dealer. Unlock Price: No remote start, $ 1,375.00 or Remote Start, $1,475.00.

It’s no different from MHD and BM3. Still need to go to femto it’s just now carbahn will have tunes that can loaded afterward

Damn it! Thought he did it and that FEMTO nonsense could be aborted. There’s big money in the States for whoever figures it out

Steve Dinan did indeed leave Dinan and founded CarBahn, which essentially carries forward the same philosophy as Dinan – offering tunes that come with a matching warranty, albeit at a higher price point.

As for your query regarding the DME, as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, they have not independently cracked the DME. The process still requires the DME to be sent to Finland for unlocking.
