CIC Language Coding Utility 1.2

CIC Language Coding Utility by Bimmer Retrofit

The CIC Language Coding Utility is a specialized tool designed to unlock, change, and manage language and regional settings on BMW vehicles equipped with the CIC (Car Information Computer) iDrive system. It streamlines the coding process so owners and installers can select their preferred display language, align keyboard layouts and regional formats, and, where supported, update voice guidance and voice control languages. Built for reliability and reversibility, it helps ensure safe, consistent results on both factory and retrofitted CIC units.

Key features:

• Enable and switch iDrive/menu languages on CIC head units
• Optional coding of voice guidance and voice control languages when supported by the vehicle
• Configure regional formats (date, time, units) and keyboard layouts, where applicable
• Read and back up existing coding, with easy restore to factory settings
• Guided, user-friendly workflow suitable for both professionals and experienced enthusiasts

Compatibility:

• For BMW vehicles fitted with CIC iDrive head units; not intended for NBT or newer systems
• Typical applications include select E-Series and some early F-Series models; verify compatibility by confirming your vehicle’s head unit type and software level

Requirements:

• Windows laptop recommended
• Supported BMW diagnostic interface (for example, K+D-CAN or ENET, depending on the vehicle) and a stable power supply/charger
• Valid license or activation as provided by Bimmer Retrofit, if required

Notes:

• Available languages and voice options depend on your vehicle’s firmware and installed voice/map data
• Perform coding with a reliable charger connected to maintain stable voltage
