It's a dealer job. The BSI is the main master computer in the vehicle controlling most systems in the vehicle, that sends and receives data across all the various vehicle data networks. It has to be done correctly by the dealer as it is done in connected mode to their servers and has to be checked afterwards to ensure it has been correctly applied as it's such an important module.

If it was done OTA you would be able to drive your car :-D

ML8 - C4 (C41), C4X, DS7 - BSI Software

Update the BSI software.
Just had confirmation from the dealer regarding the BSI software update. Booked it in for 24th April :clap:

BSI software updated today. The only thing I noticed was I couldn’t lock or unlock the vehicle using the fob. Proximity lock/unlock worked ok. Quick call to the dealer who talked me through fob re initialisation and all is ok.

Had the BSI update done at the dealer a couple of weeks ago. When I got home the car wouldn’t lock with the fob. Dealer told me how to reinitialise the key, which worked. But I’ve had to reinitialise it twice more since then. I have previously change the fob battery with a Duracell which I had in my “battery drawer”. Not sure how old it is though. Can’t decide whether to buy another battery to try, or get back on to the dealer. :(

I'm still on my original 4 year old fob batteries..... rarely ever have needed to replace one.
