Replacement and updating ecus and computers

When control units otherwise known as modules, ecus and controllers are replaced, they require synchronising/coding or programming with the vehicle for a number of reasons but mainly to tell the new unit being fitted all the options and settings of the vehicle its being installed in for example one option could be left and right hand drive but there is a huge array of these settings that need to be correct for the car to function correctly. The extent and type of programming varies with manufacturer, model, age of vehicle along with sometimes use only once units as the vehicle identification number is locked in on programming so the unit can not be used on another vehicle.  

We carry out a complete service for programming and coding of computers, control units, and ECUs. We have access to the same tools that the main dealers use, meaning we can offer the same level of programming and customisation as they can. We can perform bug fixes, enhancements, security patches, and troubleshooting alongside electrical diagnosis car repairs.

Generally we will not supply or fit used or green electronic components due to giving a guarantee period, along with replacement electrical items of the same age can breakdown or fail the same way as the original which we will not be held responsible. We can be open to discussing fitting customer supplied used components as sometimes it can be impossible to buy new because of availability and age but agreements must be made before any remedial work commences.

Immobilisers and security

All vehicles have integrated security systems, which most garages cannot access and repair due to having access to manufacturer systems and security authorisation. Our qualified, registered technicians have passed the security checks and have the equipment to perform full security/immobiliser system repairs and service. We can supply and fit new manufacturer supplied keys and security related components which are common on most modern cars, after replacement of engine computers and similar electronic units found inside the vehicle they will need to be assigned and locked to the vehicle digitally of which we have full access to complete these type of repairs.
