Though they do have a good rep from folks who have had work done on their cars at this shop for over 30 years. I just feel they don't have any experience working on BMW's newer than 2006 since BMW covers all the maintenance for 4 years.
While it should be ok, it's better to be safe than sorry. We use a power supply whenever possible, it's not worth the risk if it's easily accessible.

Proper precautions have to be taken during coding, we even require customers to turn off Bluetooth on their phones in case a call comes in during the coding process.
