Disclaimer: This is to be treated strictly as advice and not instruction. I can not be held responsible for any actions you may take with a current or future vehicle.

Prerequisites:
Computer with Ethernet and DTSMonico v8 or later. I purchased this via a vendor on mbworld, but I will provide no further instructions of where to purchase this software

Step 1.
BMW eNet cable. Here is the enet cable I purchased: https://amzn.to/3uK9fw9
Set the Internet protocol TCP/IPV4 IP to 169.254.0.42 as seen in the video.


Step 2.
I configured DTS.
Here are the settings I used:
Name: eNetBus system type interface: D-PDU API
D-PDU API : Berner and Mattner Sytemechnik GmbH-unity-for-dts-8...Module Type: MVCI-ISO-13400-DoipVender name: (blank)
Cable: CABLE-PART-F-ECOM
use for licensing: (check)
Physical Links: Ethernet 1

Step 3. Open A temp workspace with the SMR-d file of hu5s1.smrd

Step 4.
Backup'ed my coding as seen in the video. It will be saved as an aed file and I'll need this to restore the coding to your head unit after the flash.

Step 5.
I found my current Hardware and software numbers.
Note, the software you use must be the correct software for your car. Using the wrong firmware will result in failure. Unfortunately, there is no procedure to find out, only reports of successful flashes from others. I found this list from MHH:
Hardware Number and then Flash Software you Need
HW 166 901 21 07 :
-166 902 76 08
-176 902 76 02

HW 218 901 30 01 (option 1)
-176 902 76 02
-212 902 33 10
-212 902 60 11

HW 218 901 30 01 (option 2)
-176 902 77 02
-212 902 39 10
-212 902 60 11

HW 218 901 87 00:
-176 902 76 02
-212 902 60 11

HW 218 901 29 01
-176 902 76 02
-212 902 60 11

HW 246 901 11 06
-176 902 88 00
-176 902 46 00
-246 902 74 03


Step 6.
I used SWfinder to download and unzip this firmware 1769027702, 2129023910, 2129026011

Step 7.
Load the file on DTS and Flash.
As you can see in the video, even on a 10a charger, my battery died. I was successful with the car running.
if using a enet cable, do not perform a hard reset!
if you're using it enet cable, it will not get a response, thus it will not let you continue with step 8. if you do a hard reset accidentally, just close everything down, unplug your cable, turn your car off. Wait 5 minutes and then reboot everything and go straight to step eight.
if you are using a c4, you won't have any issues either way

Step 8.
Restore coding. I Loaded the file from step 4, and selected to show only "changed domains".
"Do coding", completes all of these in 1 click.
NOTE: failing? go back to the end of step 7

Step 9. Next I Coded for carplay
Here are the codings I used:
Driver distractionsmirror link ---- enabled
services map sirusweather ---- enabled
Carplay----- enable
RUI SettingsRemote UI ---- ON
Mirror link over NCM ---- ON
Notifications ---- ON
Send GPS data over RUI device ---- ON

RUI parameters WriteParameters ---- Park all allowed
IN remote ui applications
Remote UI Services ---- on
CarPlay via USB ---- on
CarPlay Limited UI Elements ----- softkeyboard,softphone,keypad,nonmusiclist,musiclistAutomotive
Link via USB ---- on

There were 3 at the bottom that weren't as obvious.
Handsfree parameter Carplay, siri and facetime
With no 212 option I did some experimenting, I could not tell a difference, nor find any faults between c218 int-amp, c218-b&o and MFA-CP-ext-amp.
I settled on the last one i tried, C218-b&O.

Hard reset.
Save coding one more time.


Wireless AA.
I'm using this Wireless AA dongle and it works great. https://amzn.to/3sW7MCB
I literally get into the car, start it, and with zero input or buttons pressed, AA loads within about 8-10 secs on its own
