Retrofit




Retrofitting allows options or equipment to be added after the vehicle has been produced or sold.

Retrofit changes the existing ZCS SA to include the upgrade or complete system that has been added to the vehicle.

e.g. The DWA system for E46 vehicles may be purchased from a BMW center parts department as an equipment upgrade. Retrofit is used to modify the ZCS so that the GM V will properly operate with the newly installed components.

Display of ZCS for Printout


This selection from the ZCS coding menu displays the coding code as well as the stored chassis number of the vehicle.


The information is displayed so that a print out can be made of the original code. Having the original code is useful if the vehicle needs to be returned to the original state when retrofitted items are removed or just to view what the code is to verify status.

Conversion


Conversion allows specific functions of a control module operation to be changed much the same way Car and Key Memory is used to customize a vehicle.

The coding software will compose a list of modules with conversion possibilities based on the model variant.


Conversion changes the code only in the module that is responsible for the changed function.

The stored ZCS code is not affected and recoding that particular module again will return the module to basic status and reverse the effects of the conversion process.

Service Measures


Service Measures are software solutions for vehicle problems that have been identified in the field.

The coding software compares the ZCS code of the vehicle to a data base for specific system versions (e.g. module hardware and software versions) that qualify for the update.


The determination is done automatically and the DIS/MoDiC communicates to the Technician whether a Service Measure is necessary or not.
