Our foundation all revolve around the electronics capabilities within Lehane Autos. Using the correct procedures and the correct tools we are able to repair, extract, recalibrate, reprogram for direct replacements and for retro-fitting parts, whatever might be the need.
At Lehane Autos our understanding of vehicle electronics go further than the miles of wiring running through the bodywork from component to component. Our understanding also involves the data stored with in the controllers, how they are sent, used and how we can extract and manipulate.
Data extraction is a vital service we offer at our workshop and remotely:
This process is carried out at our Swansea workshop, by postal service, remote desktop access or by purchasing required services through our online shop.
Using definition files, logic analysers, OBD tools, PIDs and CAN data
Programming in standard terms of dealerships and general independents rely on diagnostic tool capability and availability with the tools and software. At Lehane Autos we are able to program data directly to a micro controller of a particular control unit. Meaning we can work directly with the memory device storage.
Our workshop in Morriston, Swansea has all the tools and capabilities to complete your retro-fits, programming and coding.
Retro-Fitting services examples-
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.
