Programming, Anti-Theft Protection: General

The anti-theft protection function is controlled by TWICE, which is basically programmed by the control module supplier. However, this may not satisfy the requirements of all markets (countries) and some additional programming can therefore be necessary during manufacture, so-called "Factory Programming  ".

When the car has been delivered to a market, it may be necessary to replace the TWICE control module or make other changes to the system. This calls for the possibility to carry out so-called "After Market Programming  ".
