Vehicle electronics are the foundation of what we do at Lehane Autos. With deep expertise in specialist electronics and car retrofits in Swansea, we work far beyond basic diagnostics, repairing, extracting, recalibrating, reprogramming, and retrofitting vehicle control systems using the correct procedures and manufacturer-level tools.
Whether you need a direct electronic replacement, advanced coding, or a complex car retrofit, our experienced technicians deliver precise, reliable solutions for both private owners and the motor trade.
At Lehane Autos, our understanding of vehicle electronics goes far beyond the miles of wiring inside modern vehicles. We specialise in the data stored within control units, how that data is transmitted, interpreted, protected, and – when required – securely extracted or modified.
This deeper understanding allows us to solve problems that many garages and mechanics in Swansea struggle.

Costs vary greatly due to different types and complexity. please always contact us first for a quote. but as a rule of thumb, programming start from £120+VAT
Yes. We have many different methods of extracting data, and if missing, in most cases we can build new data from other component data to match the immobiliser.
Very much vehicle and spec dependent. In some cases with vehicles it is possible when all hardware is present but the coding is set to prevent operation. But in most cases, additional parts are required. Some more than others, some require missing wiring also. Please contact us with full vehicle info and include images to help us assess. In some cases we might need to plug into the vehicle with a diagnostic tool, to get component part numbers to assess vehicle spec and component compatibility. This is subject to charges.
Yes, To most ECUs we’ve spent many hours and time testing solutions across many brands. With much success of having engines running with out an immobiliser key.
Yes we can. But, without knowing the vehicles immobiliser data. we would be guessing correct data. So we would need a known working, paired immobiliser data component sent with the component to be programmed. Then we can extract needed data. this is subject to availability, type, age, make and model.
Yes. We assist garages, dealerships, fleet operators, individuals locally and worldwide. In person, remote desktop assistance and by postal.
