What it is
Modern cars are run by a network of control modules. When a part is replaced or added, the car often needs telling about it before it works properly: that is coding.
Coding is also how features the car already supports are switched on, off or adjusted, using the same kind of tools a main dealer uses.
What can be coded depends on the make, model and the modules fitted, so it is worth checking what is possible on your car first.
When to book it
- A new part has been fitted and the car needs it coded or adapted
- A warning light came on after a part was replaced
- You want a feature your car supports switched on or off
- New lights or modules have been fitted and need setting up

Questions answered
What is coding?
Coding tells the car’s control modules about a new or changed part, or switches supported features on or off. Many replacement parts need it before they work properly.
Can every feature be coded on my car?
No. It depends on the make, model and the modules fitted. Tell us what you are after when you book and we will check what is possible.
Is coding the same as remapping?
No. Coding sets up parts and features. Remapping changes how the engine or gearbox software runs, for more performance or better drivability.
