The only lenses that Leica can code are those where the mounting  
plate can be removed and replaced. Check the mount on your Lux. If  
there are no screws in the mounting plate it can't be coded bu Leica.  
However it may be possible for a skilled repair sop like DAG to mill  
the 6 slots into the mount. You can then fill the proper slots with  
paint to get the right code.
