Can an independent mechanic do coding? I know obviously it will depend on the shop and what equipment they have, but generally do shops that specialize in BMW do coding or is that for dealers only typically?

I bought a BMW Sirius Receiver for my E70 / 2007 X5 and will likely need coding. Would prefer not to have to pay for 3 hours of coding at the $tealer.
