SITUATION

BMW has introduced Vehicle and Key Memory Programming as an important competitive advantage to meet and exceed customers' expectations by allowing customers to select vehicle configuration options that suit their particular lifestyle.

As part of the sales and vehicle delivery process, sales personnel should discuss this important opportunity to customize vehicle configurations, which include but are not limited to:

-- Visual and audible alarm setting / locking and unlocking confirmation

-- Daytime running light setting

-- Selective central locking options

-- Seat memory options and many more

Until now, it was necessary to make an appointment with the Service department to have vehicles programmed in the workshop with the DISplus/MoDiC tester.

This process may be time consuming and complicated especially in cases where customers change their mind about selected settings.

In response to this situation BMW has developed a dedicated Windows(r) based Vehicle and Key Memory Programming device. This will free up diagnostic time on the DISplus/MODiC and give Sales personnel an excellent opportunity to demonstrate BMW's technological leadership right in front of their customer. The software program is identical to the Vehicle/Key Memory program in the DISplus and MODiC.
