Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a replacement part sometimes need coding?

Modern vehicles use electronic control units (ECUs) that are programmed to communicate with specific components. When a module — such as an ABS unit, instrument cluster, injector or key — is replaced, it often needs to be coded to the vehicle so it can communicate correctly with the other systems.

Can you programme a new car key?

Yes. We can programme replacement keys and remote fobs for many makes and models. Programming a key to your vehicle requires specialist equipment and access to the vehicle's immobiliser and key management system. Call us to confirm compatibility for your specific vehicle.

What vehicles do you cover for coding and programming?

We cover a wide range of European and Asian manufacturers including Volkswagen Group vehicles (Audi, VW, Seat, Skoda), BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Vauxhall, Renault, Peugeot, Citroën, Toyota and more. Contact us to check coverage for your specific make and model.

Is coding the same as an ECU remap?

No. Coding adjusts how a module communicates and interacts within the vehicle — it configures the software for a specific component or enables/disables features. A remap modifies the calibration data within an ECU to alter performance parameters such as power, torque and fuel economy.
