No offense, but really want to make sure about the risk in a long term.
Thanks.

And from what I understand the "hack" can be easily reversed, so I can't see any way you'd damage or prevent future upgrades.
About the only downside I see is that BMW releases new software that somehow breaks the patch. But I'm guessing that's not likely since the DVD side of the infotainment system is pretty stable and not expected to have "upgrades."

Gentlemen, I would like to clarify one thing regarding the future software updates and their influence to unlocked video. Our software is actually not installed into the car itself. You just run it once and it changes the state of video locks in permanent part of memory. Therefore it will survive software upgrades of the infotainment system. This was proven many times and some of our first customers have cars where the unlocked video still works as expected after 4 different BMW upgrades.
