Does anyone know anybody who can do it remotely?

Programming = Flashing = Updating ECU firmware/ software
Coding/Encoding = configuring ECU settings or parameters.
ISTA-P or ISTA+ will usually only allow the use of new ECU's. ISTA+ is used for diagnostics and for procedures (eg, initializing light modules). Both can program all series (except E-series & ISTA+) as well as code factory values.
E-sys can program, code factory values, and individually FDL ECU's.
Programming requires a PSU (not just battery tender) and there are risks involved. As such, not many offer it as a remote service.
