No. Coding has nothing to do with the locked DME.

The app automatically makes a back up after each coding session. It marks each one by time and date and will list them in order.

You can use google to search for different coding cheat sheets.

This one seems pretty complete but I'm sure there are more updated one's as well: https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1020138

You can find a list of recommended adapters here: https://bimmercode.app/adapters/

It's recommended you use bluetooth over wifi. Other than that it shouldn't really matter. Just don't cheap out and get a super crappy one and you should be fine.
