Just about to own my first BMW - Can someone tell me what 'coding' is..

.. and perhaps provide an idiots guide?

I'm guessing after reading plenty of pages and threads, that some things on your can are 'there' but not activated ????

If that is the case, how do you 'activate' them?

Or am I way out and it's something different?

Many thanks in advance
Andy

coding is basically changing some values in your cars software to activate or not activate different features. To do this you will need E-Sys software with some other files and a purchased Token file and Patch files.
