Car coding is a relatively new thing in the automotive world, a user can change the chimes on their car, set how many times its one-touch signal flickers for one touch, remember settings for Start/Stop systems, and more. Coders can also activate cornering headlights with fog lights, deactivate some buzzing sounds, and enable multiple functions of the comfort module. Other possibilities involve lowering the level of the passenger-side mirror when reversing, activate the “needle sweep” function when the ignition is on, automatic door locking at a particular speed, daytime running lights, the auto-hold function for vehicles with electrically operated parking brake, and others.
Naturally, the things that can be done through coding depend on each car model, So do you always switch off the Auto Stop/Start technology every single time you get in your car? Why not let us set it so that the default setting is OFF, then you switch it ON if you want it!


Car coding is a relatively new thing in the automotive world, and it involves software modifications to a vehicle to allow the use of functions not available in the car when it left the factory for different reasons, mainly local regulations. Coding does not imply changing the software! It only changes pre-programed options already existent in the software. Programming Most modern cars now have a multitude of modules to perform specific tasks within a car system. If these become faulty it is not as simple as just replacing the faulty module, they needed to be reprogrammed for the specific car.


We can carry out region change on your VAG, BMW & Mercedes-Benz vehicles headunit and instrument cluster to allow Europe firmware, maps and other features to be enable on your car after you have imported it from another region of the world. Example; you buy a car from Japan and import it to the UK, it will have Japanese maps, radio frequency and languages. Importing a car from another region of the world will require you to carry out a full region change conversion on the headunit to ensure that all the features work as they should in your region. The correct navigation data needs to be installed along with multiple languages that the region supports. We are highly trained, and we follow strict protocols when performing updates to minimize any potential issues. Before and after the update, we conduct thorough quality checks to catch any issues and ensure your system functions as intended
