Did you do firmware update on the cable yourself? Hook up car to battery charger etc? How long did the process take?

WinFKP with SP DATEN v60.1.
Car was hooked up to a battery charger but a power supply is recommended. It should take about 20minutes to update properly. I did run into some issues on my first attempt where the Flash broke at 95%. It corrupted the DME data but I was able to recover it with another attempt. Mike from BPM warned he has seen a few DME bricked even when using the BimmerGeeks Cable which falls in line with what I saw on my first attempt.
You may risk bricking your DME, so you have been forewarned! ICOM adapters and ISTA/P is the dealership way to update i-Levels of a car.
