What is needed to Code and Program?

In order to code or program a vehicle, specific equipment and special software is required such as a DISplus, GT1 and an SSS which must all be connected to a network and have the must current version of CIP (C  oding, I  ndividualization & P  rogramming) installed. CIP is the software program that contains all the latest data and program information to allow control modules to be updated to the latest level to address customer concerns and implement service solutions.

With the release of CIP 15.0 and the implementation of Progman (see PROGMAN  ) the DISplus and GT1 will only be capable of performing vehicle diagnosis and activation/initiation of a Coding, Individualization or Programming task through the SSS. A special program management tool (Progman) will only allow the DISplus and GT1 to act as remote terminals to the SSS (regarding Coding, Individualization & Programming), which means that the SSS will be the single supplier of Coding, Individualization and Programming information to a vehicle and its respective control modules.
