If the amendment passes, we could potential recode - but don't quote me on that.
You can recode now (well, soon, anyway). You don't need to wait for an amendment to pass, which could take years. I recoded my X15 to include this feature, and it's great. The coders are still working out the details of many of the features for the G05, but as soon as they do, I'm having it done.
Sorry meant recode at dealers versus coders. Aware that coders are working out the features for the G05. I've had my F15 adaptive LED recoded too and other features - only issues where having to recode post dealer maintenance. Planning to do the same with my G05.
