ECU Programmingin Melbourne
Replace a module on a modern car and it has to be programmed to talk to everything else. That is our home turf.
Overview
ECU Programming, done properly.
Today's cars run on dozens of networked control modules. Swap an ECU, body module or instrument cluster and it won't work properly until it is programmed and coded to your vehicle. We handle that in-house, often without a trip back to the dealer.
We also apply manufacturer software updates that fix known drivability issues, and set up replacement keys and immobiliser components where the vehicle allows.

FAQ
ECU Programming questions.
Still unsure? Call or SMS us. We're happy to talk it through before you book.
Can you program a second-hand ECU?
Often, yes. Many modules can be reset and matched to a new vehicle, but some are locked by the manufacturer. Send us the make, model and part number and we'll confirm before you buy.
Will ECU work affect my warranty?
Programming a replacement module or applying manufacturer updates is standard repair work. Performance tuning is different. Talk to us about warranty and insurance before any tune.
Do I need to go back to the dealer for coding?
For most makes, no. Some manufacturers restrict certain functions to dealer systems. If yours is one of them, we'll tell you straight away.
One stop. Every system.
