Other Coding Software Tools: Retrofit

Retrofitting allows options or equipment to be added after the vehicle has been produced or sold.

Retrofit changes the existing ZCS SA to include the upgrade or complete system that has been added to the vehicle.

e.g. The DWA system for E46 vehicles may be purchased from a BMW center parts department as an equipment upgrade. Retrofit is used to modify the ZCS so that the GM V will properly operate with the newly installed components.
