You need an e-sys cable if you're working on F series cars. It plugs into Ethernet so make sure your laptop has a port. Some don't.

DIY bro, once you got the cable you may as well learn how to do it yourself. It's pretty straightforward if you just take your time and read up beforehand.

It's easy. Definitely don't see why people charge a ridiculous amount to do this.

I ordered a cable, the person who sold me the cable on eBay sent me a bunch of PDF's along with a F10 coding spreadsheet and I coded my car myself

If you need assistance, we can do it remotely. We can mail loaner cables if you don't have one.

I wouldn't be paying anyone to code. All it takes is about $20 for the cable, software and token is free.

VERY simple to do!
