We use a genuine BMW activation code to add satellite radio to your vehicle, meaning you can benefit from the Sirius XM free trial period. If you’re the original owner of the car, you may receive the All Access SiriusXM subscription free of charge for up to 12 months (or 2 months in case the BMW/MINI is Certified Pre-Owned). Please note that all free trials are offered by SiriusXM and governed by their terms and conditions. BimmerTech cannot guarantee eligibility for any trial or offer any alternative trial or refund if SiriusXM refuses to offer a free trial.

BMW Coding: Enet Cable
If you wish to do some BMW F10 coding, F30 coding, or any other model upgrading, an Enet cable or the SmartBimmer Enet WiFi adapter and a laptop with an Ethernet port or an external USB-RJ45 adapter can work their magic. Of course, special coding software for BMW and, preferably, relevant skills are needed to unlock the hidden functionalities like activating full-screen CarPlay after flashing programming the firmware iLevel.
The BMW Enet cable coding is for any module – the whole car can be coded.

BMW Coding: USB Coding Scripts

Another BMW USB coding tool, which is much easier, faster, and less cumbersome than the previous method, is a USB stick with a specially coded file. You just insert it into the port in the center armrest or glove compartment (depending on the type of the head unit – BMW NBT, NBT Evo, or CIC), and complete a series of actions (like turning off the car, locking the doors, etc.) that finish the coding process.
BMW USB coding is just for the iDrive (the Head Unit)

Which BMWs support USB coding?
Whether your vehicle will be coded via Enet cable or USB depends on your BMW's iDrive version, as well as which coding options you're having activated. Cars with CIC or NBT, or EVO ID5, ID6, or MGU ID7 iDrive can generally be coded with our easy USB coding way, as can most NBT Evo vehicles, depending on what software version they're running. Most other vehicles will be coded via cable by our technician. Then again, a few options can only be activated via cable, in which case, even a car that supports USB coding will need a remote coding session with us.

What is the difference between BMW programming and coding?
For some, that is the difference between coding and programming at BMW. Coding usually refers to making minor changes to your vehicle's software configuration, generally unlocking features that BMW itself makes available in some of its vehicles. Programming, on the other hand, is often used to refer to more drastic changes that fundamentally change the way your vehicle works through new software. For example, a tuner might program your vehicle to alter the engine management systems. These processes carry a far more significant risk.
