● FAQ

Remote
Coding,
Worldwide.

Everything you need to know about how a remote session works and what to have ready before we connect.

01

How does remote coding work?

+

You park your BMW, plug a small cable from your laptop into the car's diagnostic port, and we connect to your laptop over the internet. We do the work; you watch. Most jobs take 30–60 minutes.

02

What do I need on my side?

+

A Windows laptop, the right cable for your car (we recommend one below), internet, and your BMW parked safely with the ignition on. We send a simple step-by-step guide once you book.

03

Which BMWs do you support?

+

Pretty much all of them — from older E-series (E46, E60, E90…) right up to the newest G-series. We always confirm your exact car works before charging anything.

04

Is it safe for my car?

+

Yes. We use the same official BMW tools (ISTA / E-Sys) the dealers do, back up your existing settings before we change anything, and only touch what we need to.

05

What if it doesn't work?

+

Full refund. If we can't complete what you booked, you don't pay — no questions asked.

06

Where do you operate?

+

Remote sessions: anywhere in the world. Mobile / workshop: United Kingdom.
