• Variant/Offline Coding: Adapts ECUs for different vehicle configurations (e.g., left-hand/right-hand drive, activating/deactivating software functions).
• Cyfatebu Cydrannau: Establishes communication between new ECU modules and existing systems after replacement.
• Flash Hidden Functions: Activates advanced features or disables certain functions (e.g., mirror automatic folding, disabling auto start-stop).
• Customize OE-Settings: Modifies original vehicle behavior (e.g., upgrading fog lamps, battery capacity changes).
• Swyddogaeth PMI: Allows copying data from an original module to a new unit for module replacement (for Ford/Lincoln/Mazda).
