I imagine Doc was talkin about Beckmann Technologies.

I'm not sure what the trans cares about differential ratio though. Internal ratios will need programming to avoid gear implausibility codes, but those are assessed from input and output inside the trans.

To answer your original question......... Actually before i answer that I should tell you how big a grin I got thinking about how silly it is for someone to just start adapting when they don't know what they are doing. Be thankfull that you have a very limited tool.

Activation is the ability to cause an action. Adaptation is a learned process, one can view the results and one can erase the results to start over. Coding is both a noun and a verb. The programming to run the hardware described as control units exists in most MB control units. In order to run in various conditions with different variants, multiple programs are loaded. It is then the technicians job to "code" the control unit to tell it which variants it will exist in. The final result is the code it is running with.
