Frequently Asked Questions
Why do European cars need special diagnostic tools?
European manufacturers use proprietary communication protocols and coding. Generic OBD scanners only read basic codes — factory tools access all systems and provide guided diagnostics.
My battery keeps dying — what could be wrong?
This is often caused by a parasitic electrical draw from a faulty module, improperly coded battery, or failing alternator. We perform draw tests to find the exact cause.
Can you add factory features to my car through coding?
Yes, many factory features can be enabled through module coding — such as folding mirrors, digital speedometer, ambient lighting options, and more.
