CIP stands for C oding, I ndividualization, P rogramming.
- Coding - Updates and aligns (vehicle & country specific) the software resident in the control modules.
- Individualization - Vehicle and Key specific settings are changed according to customer requests and stored in the Vehicle & Key Memory.

New Developments:
