Is the C7 able to be coded to turn features on or off? In the BMW's ur able to "code" the car to enable or disable extra features like opening the windows with the fob or closing them. Say I wanted to have the REV MATCH on every time I start the car. Basically back door programming.

No, you can not program the C7 like the BMW. I'm not sure if a tuner could set the Rev match on permanently. Tuning will void the powertrain warranty.

Coming from the BMW world and having done extensive coding with my 335i, the c7 is a different beast and unfortunately does not have that ability.

With my previous Audi I had a computer interface and could code all kinds of things. I miss being able to do that.

That's just a German thing bud. We have kids come in every week wanting us to code there cars and we send them out the door. The scan tools for German cars are much more advanced then the tech 2 gm uses.
