Frequently Asked Questions About Our BMW Car Coding Service
We understand you might have questions about remote BMW coding. Here are answers to some of the most common inquiries we receive:
What coding options are available for my BMW?
Our BMW car coding service offers a wide array of options. You are not obligated to choose every option on our comprehensive list. Once you place your order, we will provide you with a tailored list of coding options specifically compatible with your BMW model. You can then select the features you desire to be activated or customized. These options range from convenience features like folding mirrors with your key fob or enabling convertible top operation via the key fob, to more advanced retrofit coding.
How will we communicate during the BMW coding session?
Communication is key to a smooth BMW car coding service experience. Your dedicated BMW coder will contact you by phone. They will guide you through the simple setup process and discuss your desired coding options in detail before commencing the coding session.
How quickly will I receive the necessary equipment?
For customers in the US and Canada, we ensure fast delivery. All remote coding orders are processed through Amazon and shipped domestically. You can expect to receive your ENET cable within just two days of placing your order. Once your cable arrives, you can schedule your coding appointment with us, potentially even on the same day. For international customers outside of North America, we offer shipping via DHL from Hong Kong, with applicable additional costs. If you already possess your own ENET cable, you can choose to opt out of purchasing one during checkout.
I live in an apartment building. Are there specific internet requirements?
No problem at all! For our BMW car coding service, a Wi-Fi connection is preferred but not strictly mandatory. You can utilize your phone’s mobile hotspot if Wi-Fi is unavailable in your car’s location. Our coding process operates via VPN, so a high-speed fiber connection is not essential. A minimum internet speed of 5mbps is sufficient for a successful remote coding session.
Do I need a battery maintainer for my BMW during coding?
For most standard coding procedures, which typically last 45 minutes or less, a battery maintainer is generally not required. However, we recommend keeping your engine running during the session. Some BMW modules only become responsive when the engine is on. This also prevents your vehicle from entering sleep mode during the coding process, ensuring a stable connection.
What equipment do I need to have for remote BMW coding?
To participate in a remote BMW car coding service session, you will need a Windows-based laptop. This laptop should have a built-in Ethernet port. If your laptop lacks an Ethernet port, you will need to have the appropriate adapters, such as USB to Ethernet or USB-C to Ethernet. Please avoid using corporate or work laptops. These often have security restrictions and group policies that can interfere with our ability to connect to your vehicle.
Can I use a Mac laptop for BMW coding?
Yes, you can use a Mac laptop for BMW car coding service if it meets specific criteria. Intel-processor based Macs are compatible, provided you can run Windows through a virtual machine application like Parallels or VMware, or directly via Bootcamp. If you plan to use a Mac, please indicate this when placing your order so we can provide you with necessary supplementary instructions.
Important Note: Mac OS devices with M1 or M2 chips are NOT currently compatible with our remote coding service.
Are Chromebooks or iPads suitable for remote coding?
Unfortunately, Chromebooks and iPads are not compatible with our BMW car coding service. These devices utilize mobile-based operating systems that are not supported by the professional coding tools we employ.
How does the remote BMW coding process actually work?
Our BMW car coding service utilizes TeamViewer software to establish a secure remote connection to your laptop. Once connected, our expert coder can program your BMW over your internet connection via our VPN, all while you relax in the driver’s seat.
What types of BMW coding are covered under your service?
Our general BMW car coding service sessions encompass a wide range of convenience features and retrofit coding options. This includes coding for aftermarket audio system installations, resolving flickering issues after LED light bulb upgrades (for High Beams, Low Beams, Turn Signals, and DRLs), and activating iDrive enhancements like Enhanced Bluetooth (Bluetooth Audio Streaming, Mobile Office) and Video in Motion. For more complex retrofits or advanced coding requests, such as head unit replacements, additional fees may apply. We strive to maximize the value of each coding session, including as many features as possible within a single session.
Do I need to return the ENET cable after the coding session?
No, the ENET cable is yours to keep. Consider it a valuable tool for future use. You may need to recode your BMW again later, or you might have additional BMW coding needs down the line.
I have a very specific BMW coding request not listed in your general options. Can you help?
For specialized requests related to retrofits or repairs, we offer dedicated repair/retrofit coding services. These services cover a broader spectrum of complex tasks, including head unit replacements, control unit replacements, headlight calibration, 6WB instrument cluster coding, and EDC deletes. Our standard BMW car coding service product is designed for general convenience coding and does NOT cover retrofit or repair-related items.
