DVD in motion after GTS CODING

Has anyone had an issue with coding DVD in motion after performing the GTS coding? I notices an HU_NBT2 appeared after performing the coding to GTS.

What do you mean by ECU are separate?

VIM is done on Head Unit ECU.

GTS coding/programming is done on Steering, Differential, EDC, & Transmission ECU's.

They should not affect each other.

Ahhh, so my assumption is when I load the FA, with the new GTS typschlussel change and go to code the car, should not switch to complete car coding, but leave it in construction mode and code the individual modules needed like DCT?

Only code desired modules. DCT Transmission is programming.

Definitely stay away from coding entire vehicle, especially DME.

Coding and Programming are two different things.

Coding is changing settings within existing firmware.
Programming is flashing alternative firmware. Alternative maybe older, newer, or GTS on M3/M4.

Just for clarification, when you are changing a vehicle order, you're still coding not programming correct?

When changing VO, you are not doing anything yet.

If you are using modified FA to change settings, it is VO coding.
If you are using modified FA for TAL-Calculation/Processing, it is programming.
