You handle the mechanical and body work; we handle the BMW electronics. SDBC comes to your bay to program replacement modules, code after repairs, register batteries, and diagnose the electrical faults that tie up a lift — so the car leaves your shop finished instead of going to the dealer.
BMW-only since 2009. Shops call us for the jobs that need BMW-specific software and experience they don’t use often enough to keep in-house.
Module programming after replacement, battery registration, coding, and second-opinion diagnostics on electrical and communication faults.
Programming and coding for replaced headlights, cameras, and control modules after collision repair, plus post-repair fault checks.
Used-car lots and fleet operators: CarPlay activation, map updates, warning-message diagnosis, and pre-sale electronic checks.
Text the VIN, the part number if a module is involved, and what the car is doing to 619-500-3096.
