Progman Introduction: CIP
The Coding, Individualization and Programming application that has been used previously since the introduction of the E65 continues to operate the same as before. The only major change is that all of the Coding and Programming functions for the older vehicles (E31/32/34/36/38/39/46/52 & E53) that was only available on the DIS CD for use on DISplus and GT1 has been incorporated into CIP.
Prior to CIP15.0 SGC/Unix functions for Coding, Individualization & Programming were incorporated into DIS CD VXX.X.
As of CIP 15.0 SGC/Unix functions for Coding, Individualization & Programming are incorporated into CIP.
