VIDENT iLink400 is a new full-system diagnostic tool, perfect for personal use, because the auto diagnostic software can be customized/selected yourself before delivery. It can be a good helper for your car diagnostics and ECU programming.

It’s not only able to read/erase codes and live data and the like, but also it’s capable of advanced functions such as actuation, adaptation and programming.

Besides, it helps access the most commonly required service features such as Oil service Light Reset, Throttle Body Alignment, Electronic Parking Brake Service, Battery configuration, Steering Angel Sensor Calibration, CBS correction, etc.

 

What is coding?

Take BMW coding.

It is a process utilized by BMW, which groups system specific operating requirements (Data) together and then assigns a label/code to each of these groups of data. The various groups of data are all pre-loaded into system specific “codable” control modules, along with a basic set of operating instructions (Program).

There are various types of operating requirements such as; O2 sensors, emissions controls, fuel type, Manual or Auto transmission.

The procedure of assigning one specifically labeled group of data to the operating program of a specific control module/component is referred to as “coding”. Coding allows a specific set of data already present in the module to be selected.

A “codable” control module has a basic operating program already installed along with several specific variations of operating data. The coding process allows a specific set of operating data to be assigned to the basic operating program of that module/component, with respect to its specific application.

Coding can be performed for some systems/components via ISTA/P or the older DIS/Plus/GT1/SSS device. By entering a variant code via the device, selecting customer specific operational settings from a list of available features (VKM) or automatically by selecting a specific coding process.

Note: Codable control modules/components are system specific, which means that not all control modules are codable.

 

What’s recoding?

Its for B6 tip to manual, but probably process is more-less the same:

Module Recoding

3 modules need to be recoded from auto to manual: ECU, ABS and cluster. You cannot recode a module when it has a fault, therefore it would be best to recode BEFORE removing the transmission and TCU. At a minimum, you need the TCU and the gear selector switch installed. You’ll need to recode the ABS module first, as it seems to find fault with everyone else, then the ECU, then the cluster. With no recoding, the ABS/ESP lights are on and non-functional, ECU and cluster throw codes for the missing TCU. With cluster and ECU recoded, the ABS module gets more angry and flashes the brake light. You can recode the cluster at any time. Without recoding the ECU, any wheel speed above 0 it sets idle to ~1300 or so. Without the clutch switch, a recoded ECU will not have cruise con

Recoding definition from Vident iLink400 user manual:

Recode is used to set various options in control modules such as airbag coding, slave modules coding, battery coding, etc. Please refer to the Factory Repair Manual for your particular car (or some other documented procedure) before attempting to Recode a Control Module.
