N55 Bench Flash Workaround

I’m local to south FL and called a very well known shop in the area (they sell parts online and are well trusted generally speaking) to ask about getting work done on my car. The first thing I want to get done is a bench flash on my N55 135i. I’ve had the flash done previously but the dealer overwrote it and now I can’t use the MHD flasher again.

They said they have “special cables and tools” that allow them to do the bench flash without removing the DME from the car.. what am I missing here? I haven’t found any workaround for pulling the DME to flash it in my own research.. did I land on someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about, or am I late to the party?

Thanks in advance!

I'm here for the good of the people. This doesn't affect me, but I'm curious to hear if anything happened with this.

They may be confusing bench flash with just a regular flash through the OBDII port...
