I was chatting with my tech friend today (understand that he's a great tech, but not a coder) and he was under the impression that he needed to get my car's info to a contact at bmw so that they could create a vo to download to the dealer computer and then the correct vo with bmw apps is programmed into the car.

I asked him the exact question, to which you point out regarding just adding bmw apps, which was, could he simply enable 6NR on the computer he uses to program and program my car with it? His reply was that the computer does not know what it's programming into a car without a vo, or a vo attached to a vin, and that a vo for bmw apps needs to be downloaded from bmw for my car/vin.

I'm brand new to this whole coding idea so forgive me if I don't have certain details correct or don't quite understand the process correctly. Is there any helpful information that you might be able to add and that I could tell him?
thanks
