BMW, MINI & German-Brand Retrofits & Upgrades
Genuine retrofitting — OEM and Genuine parts fitted and coded with manufacturer-level equipment, so retrofits behave factory-standard. That means BMW FA/VO coding, VAG component-protection release, and proper initialisation and self-study where the system needs it. We're an independent specialist in Telford, not a dealer — but the equipment and the standards are the same. Availability always depends on your vehicle's specification and hardware, so tell us your registration and the feature you want and we'll confirm exactly what's possible.
GENUINE RETROFITTING
OEM parts, manufacturer-level coding — factory-standard results
A retrofit isn't finished when the part is bolted in. Modern vehicles expect every component to identify itself, be coded to the car and integrate with its systems. At JVS the installation is only half the job: BMW FA/VO coding writes the option to the vehicle order so the car adopts it natively, VAG component protection is released so the part is accepted, and proper initialisation and self-study is carried out so the feature works — and keeps working — exactly as it would from the factory.
Availability depends on your vehicle. What can be retrofitted is determined by your car's specification, hardware and compatibility — no reputable specialist will promise a retrofit without checking first. Send your registration and what you'd like to achieve, and we'll tell you honestly what's possible and what it involves.
