Digital Mileage Correction
Modern cars have electronic dashboards with digital odometer displays. The car manufacturers use these because they are cheaper to produce than a mechanical dashboard and easier to fit into the car, as there is no mechanical speedometer cable. This new technology has its own problems though, electrical pulses in the cars wiring can cause the dashboard data, which is stored internally on an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), to become corrupted.
This corruption could happen for a number of reasons:
• the vehicle battery was discharged and the vehicle had been jump-started
• the dashboard may develop an electrical fault
• the dashboard may be damaged in a collision or through vandalism.
In these examples, the corruption of the information held in the EEPROM may mean that the mileage displayed on the Speedo is now incorrect.
Dashboard correction may also be necessary where a replacement cluster has been purchased, either new or second hand. If it's a new one it will have zero miles on it. If it's a second hand one the mileage displayed is also likely to be different to the original thus requiring correction.
Mileage Recalibration
Recalibration becomes necessary when the instrument dials on your dashboard malfunction. For example, the fuel gauge may be showing 1/4 full after you have filled the vehicle up, or it may even stop working altogether.
This can also happen to other gauges and dials. On the other hand, you may wish to have the odometer changed from mileage display to kilometre display or vice versa.
That's where we can help by electronically recalibrating the dashboard to either restore faulty gauges and dials, or to change miles to KM and vice versa.
Mileage Correction Service
We are offer a service that cannot be matched by anyone else because We have invested in the latest German hand held equipment specifically designed for mileage correction. Some of our competitors use PC based software that wipes all the information off the memory chip including additional details, such as chassis numbers and VIN numbers. Our method leaves that information intact. Additionally, all of our work is guaranteed. Most cars are easily calibrated without the need to remove the clock cluster. More importantly this process cannot be traced.
Legal
Adjusting a vehicles digital millimetre / odometer is not illegal. It only becomes illegal if you knowingly sell the vehicle without disclosing the correction in the Speedo reading.
Other Services
Our other services include video in motion, unlocking your factory fitted television so that your passengers may watch the TV while the car is in motion. At this moment this service is only available for BMW, new Range Rover, Mini and Rover 75,45,25. Audi, VW, Seat, Mercedes and the Porsche Cayenne.
The Lexus Soarer and the LS400 have a common fault where the dashboard lights will go blank, we can repair this at a cost of £200, which is cheaper than a £1000 new instrument cluster from Lexus dealers, the Speedo light sometimes can come back on when car is warm, sometimes its the bottom half of the dash lights that go off and sometimes its the upper part of the clock. Every Soarer and the LS 400 dash gets the blinks at some point, please call me on 07772 891 853 for more info on the Lexus dash fix.
Increase your cars performance up to 30 bhp while increasing your fuel economy by up to 10%.
Airbag and service lights can be reset on most makes and models.
We can covert your import car to read and display in mph by way of a small conversion chip fitted to the back of your dash cluster as well as converting your mileage readout to the right miles.
BMW & Rover Backup Mileages
For some time now BMW have been storing the mileage from the LKM unit & EWS in the ignition key, BMW are now testing all keys to ensure the dashboard doesn't have less miles.
We now offer this Key Reader / Writer service for adjusting all backup mileages on BMW's meaning that any units fitted to the car can be programmed to match the vehicle, and mine puts the key to the exact mileage not to zero like other machines.
