Module Coding & Retrofit Coding

Coding changes the settings that are already built into a module — turning on factory features, matching a replacement module to your vehicle’s options, or configuring a retrofit — without rewriting the base software. It’s often the last step that makes a repaired or replaced module work exactly like the original.

Don’t replace it — repair it.

Most failed modules can be repaired for a fraction of the dealer replacement price, and come back cloned to your vehicle so there’s no extra programming visit.
