Rescued!

This customerā€™s multimedia system would go green, red, dead šŸ˜³

We got it working with a firmware update but it still had component protection activated.

Fortunately for them, we have the genuine dealer tool with online access and released it for them.

Thereā€™s a common misconception that ā€˜diagnosticsā€™ means a plug in with a magic computer.

Diagnostics and reading fault codes are not the same thing.

A code gives you a direction but then you need to carry out diagnostics with the right knowledge and tools to find out what isnā€™t right.

Sometimes the code is a red herring. Sometimes thereā€™s nothing wrong at all and the software needs updating.

This car has no codes but wonā€™t run. Where do you start? If it had a code for low fuel pressure which part would you change first?

Guessing is expensive. Proper diagnostics is good value-for-money.

Test donā€™t guess šŸ”āœ… šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļøāŒ
