Variant coding

Variant coding is programming ECUs to meet vehicle variants, such as left-hand drive or right-hand drive. Some states/countries require the automatic activation of the headlights while driving, what results in another vehicle variant. Variant coding includes the enabling and disabling of software-driven functions.
