Protools can do both of those. I've done it in both and I prefer to do it in Protools cause there are fewer places for human input error.

Personally, I would not get the BT version as the cabled version can be used with your laptop to connect if you wish to diagnose your car further with ISTA+/INPA, etc. But that is a personal preference. BMW Tools is such powerful software that it can essentially help you diagnose every issue and guide you on the proper repairs. Even if you don't use it, having this option in your back pocket will come in handy one day. Key notes: - The tuning cable (alpine tune) cannot be used to code/flash. - OBD2 dongles no sold from Bimmergeeks will not work with ProTools. - BimmerGeeks wired cable will be a powerful tool for BMW diagnostic and coding compared to the BT cable. - The cabled version will give you access to BMW Tools, providing you with a powerful aid for your ownership.

More clarifications requested... Cable method provides both diagnostic and coding options. Understand and point taken. Do not have or wish to obtain/use ISTA+/INPA path...a no-go for me Not clear on "BMW Tools" reference:
Successfully accomplished with cable tuning uploads via OBD II. Unclear of best approach & tools needed for originally stated scope/intent...coding seat(s) replacement

but it includes wide range of softwares:
So if using a Cable approach/interface stated...that actually work with a Mac capable of running Windows 10? Successfully accomplished with cable tuning uploads via OBD II.: I personally have not done it on a mac running W10, but if you flashed your DME with it, then it should be no problem as well.. the reason why i push the cable is, that if you're going to get the protools stuff, you might as well make use of all the possible available software as well. but NOT NEEDED. although comes in handy.. you'll be fine with just the APP and the BT dongle end of the day.

Alpine's yellow OBD dongle is not your typical K+DCAN cable and won't work with this app. You can however use the coding cable he provides which is a silver one. You will need an Android OTG USB adapter as most android tablets nowadays is USB-C only. I'm not sure if your Autel Android will work. If you can access a google play store to grab it it will fundamentally work with Android version 9 but I am unsure how much access it will allow via BT etc. I imagine a sideloaded BG app might work too if your Android requires whitelisting.

derbo & omgzirra_exe, many thanks for detailed feedback and advise!
My Objective - Reasonable/proper seat coding results...all else for me, is 'nice to have' and may be for another day. Geez, simply way too overcomplicated; time required to hash out/resolve this-n-that, devices, hardware, compatibility, experimental risks etc No time or inclination to 'chase' a potential solution. That said, anyone know of a trusted resource in SoCal area [LA/Orange county] capable to do the job at a fair price?

EAS, BPM or Alpine can do all that. Alpine can do it remotely and...dun dun you end up with a silver coding cable too.
