10. Concluding work and coding

The retrofit system requires coding.
Ordering and supply of FSCs
- FSCs are "coded series parts", i.e. FSCs are always created on a vehicle-specific basis and must therefore be
ordered from BMW as PSI parts (Production - Series - Invest), specifying the chassis number.
- FSCs are supplied via the BMW After Sales Portal (ASAP) under Parts and Accessories (Sweeping
Technologies). The retail organisations can download the FSCs onto a PC via Internet download.
- Connect the battery
- Program/encode the "BMW Apps" retrofit with ISSS (Integrated Software Service Station) via the Conversions
path
- Conduct a brief test
- Re-fit the car components as required
- Insert the Media snap-in adapter as per the cars Owners Manual
