    My understanding is that the .bin file is the raw hexadecimal data containing the operating system and all the settings from an ECM in that one compact file.
    The .xdf file is like a key/map of the data in the bin file so you can edit or change things that the computer monitors and controls.
    Then you can save the edited bin file and flash it to your ECM.
    But of course it is not just super simple, because there are so many easy ways you can do this wrong,
    edit some thing wrong, or use the wrong bin, XDF, hardware files,
    or the write is interrupted during the flash you can easily "brick" your vehicles computer
    (Brick is a computer nerd term meaning your computer would only be useful as a brick)
    It seems by your question that you may need to do some more research (or I do) not trying to troll you.
    I am probably only a few posts ahead of where you are.
    Some one please correct me if I am wrong.

    30bird, you are correct.

    Generally, a .bin file refers to the calibration, the calibration and code file read from the vehicle computer, saved in a binary format.

    An xdf file is a definition file that tells the tuning software Tunerpro how to represent the information in the bin file in (somewhat) human readable terms.
