Frequently Asked Questions
What is BMW coding all about?
Most of your BMW's functions are already in the software - the factory simply didn't activate them, depending on market and equipment. Coding means enabling or personalising those functions with BMW's original engineering tools (E-Sys, ISTA), with no mechanical intervention.
Which functions do customers code most often?
The hits are: video in motion, folding mirrors from the fob, closing windows and roof with the remote, seatbelt chime off, drive mode and Start-Stop memory, sport displays in iDrive, warm engine start without Eco, US-style rear light glow, hidden menu activation. The full list depends on the model and software version.
Is coding safe and will the dealer detect it?
Properly done coding operates solely on factory parameters provided for by BMW - before any changes we archive the original configuration (FA/NCD backup). A software update at the dealer may overwrite the coding; in that case we restore it in a matter of minutes.
Can you retrofit features the car didn't have from the factory?
Yes - we do retrofits: Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, reversing camera, lane assist, active cruise control (where the car's architecture allows) along with full coding and FSC activation. Every retrofit is quoted individually after verifying the equipment.
Which BMW models do you support?
The full range: from the E series (E60, E90, E70…), through F (F10, F30, F15…), to the latest G and I (G20, G30, G05, G11, iX, i4). We use a genuine ICOM interface and up-to-date engineering software.
I lost a feature after a module replacement / dealer visit. Can you help?
Yes - after a module swap or software update, functions often revert to factory defaults. We restore the configuration, code new modules to the car (VIN matching, FDL) and bring back all previous personalisations.
