Re-coding car post retrofit

Anyone have any luck with this? I want to go in to have the retrofit done but have no idea how to code my car. If anyone has any luck re-coding their car post their retrofit, please let me know! Willing to compensate for your time!

Why do you want to do the retrofit?

Mainly traffic info. But it's just that the other two options aren't very appealing so I might as well. Resale value too.

I haven't been able to verify that it makes a difference on traffic info. I don't use connected drive and assist so that makes no difference. Been reading the other thread an still trying to determine what the advantage is to the retrofit vs $200.

If you use the ConnectedDrive features, then it is worth it plus you can get $300 dollars in BMW Merchandise.

Coding is pretty straight forward. There is no issue re-coding post retrofit.

I could code your car. Retrofit has no affect on being able to re-code vehicle. Retrofit just usually requires flash programming which sets modules back to factory state.
