Service Information
Our remote diagnostics & coding services allows you to utilise a plethora of industry knowledge and skills without being tied down by your location. Once we have a rundown of what the issue is and what you've tried so far, we'll be able to confirm if we can assist. We'll then accurately identify & pinpoint errors in your vehicle, along with resolving it if the root cause is software based. If it's a hardware issue, we can advise what the next steps are.
Whether it's your E53 that needs the air suspension coding out, adding features to your F13 6 series, or coding in a replacement/upgraded FRM on your E92, we can do it for you.
As we've been coding since the early 2010s, we have a deep understanding and knowledge of coding. If we need clarification on something on your vehicle, that's coding related; we're in a unique position to have support from retailers and other BMW coding specialists. So whatever situation your vehicle is in, we can support you!
This service covers all OEM modules and options - due to the unknown way aftermarket modules have been designed and produced, we cannot support anything non-OEM.
Our hardware and software used in this service meet or exceed specifications within BMW Group's main dealers.
Availability
Our diagnostic & coding service is available throughout the week.

If you have an FRM installed in your vehicle affected by the common firmware issue and your FRM becomes unresponsive during your session, we will not take any liability for this issue. However, if requested, we will do our best to assist and organise a repair with a third party.
