coding used parts to the car. Not sure where to start

DementedF10 · 04-17-2024, 08:36 AM

I have replaced a couple parts and now when I run diagnostics on the car it shows those items not coded to the car. Main one is the shifter I swapped in and the steering column. Both say not coded to car. Also keep getting a central gateway memory error.

the gateway is like the "central dispatch" of the car's modules trying to communicate. So if you have dead modules or modules that are not coded to your VIN, the gateway will treat them the same and throw errors for those modules.

Hit up Valentin at RVG Performance. He is able to remote in to your car and may be able to do it all remotely. Know that there are some modules that require bench-virginizing prior to coding to the car.... where as others can just get coded. Just depends on what all you changed. Valentin would be the one to tell you. Easiest way to reach him is through Facebook Messenger or IG chat. He'll go over all the details and pricing with you and you decide how you want to proceed.
