Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Coding & Programming Software
Whenever coding and programming are to be performed on a vehicle, the latest version of software for DISplus/GT1 and SSS must be loaded/installed on the equipment being used.
The DIS CD xx contains the diagnostic programs (test modules, schematics, system status values...) prior to CIP 15.0 all coding and programming information for early production vehicles (E31, E32, E34, E36, E38, E39, E46, E53 and E52) was also available.
Whenever a new version of either DIS CD xx or CIP xx.x is released this indicates that an update or addition to a specific coding, programming or diagnostic routine has occurred. The change can be reflected by a new/updated programming software for a specific control module, the ability to code a new module or the ability to perform a new retrofit procedure when installing a new system.
