Vic's software does not because it's hacked BMW software but my shop pays for it and realized after the fact that he could have done the coding with his BMW software and it would have registered it to the VIN. He told me I simply had to tell the dealer I have a Euro retrofit if they were updating the BDC module and from there on out any future updates to my car would know my set up. He said if for some reason I didn't not tell them up front, he could code it and it would register to the VIN. But basically he said tell the dealer before any updates and from there on out the car and VIN would be recognized as a Euro retro fit. I'll get more clarity next week from my shop.
