UK Coding

Is there anyone coding in the UK? It's something I would be interested in when my car arrives next month.
Or maybe I'll give it a go myself......whats the worst that could happen !

Yep I done mine. Not sure I agree with the term 'coding' as its essentially just changing settings in a menu, however I activated Start/Stop to remember last setting and also allowed the inside boot button to close as well as open.

Was pretty straightforward, ordered the cable from place on the web.

Are you able to disable the seatbelt gong and activate the bleep on lock / alarm activate?

many have done it and some have reported serious problems as they needed a trip to dealer. Be careful if you are attempting this or give it the last priority.

Any garage with diagnostics, i.e Autologic or GT1 etc, can do coding. Do you have any specialist independents near you?

Well if anyone does get the software and cable sorted in the UK, shout, I'm sure there will be a line of people wanting to get a few things 'fixed'
