Mileage on your vehicle is tracked by your odometer, but your odometer can get corrupted, especially digital odometers, which are found on nearly all types of modern vehicles. If your odometer is no longer showing the correct mileage or if it's not showing mileage at all, you can use software programs, which called Odometer Correction Master to correct the inconsistencies. You will need to do this if you plan on trading in or selling the vehicle, however, you must only fix the mileage with these tools; adjusting your mileage to make it seem as if your vehicle has fewer miles on it is illegal.original-digimasteriii-18.jpg

Diagprog 3

Digimaster III Original Odometer Correction Master allows you to reprogram the erasable programmable read only memory (EPROM) chip. This is non-volatile memory chip, which means that it keeps the data stored on it even if you shut off the power to it. This tool allows you to run tests on your system, and it comes with reverse voltage protection, which means that a diode won't conduct, but will release some current. This program comes in four different languages, and it is compatible with different control units. This product is designed for industry professionals and the car owner. 

In recently, I known one of the new release products of Odometer Correction Master, from Xcardiag. It works with various types of adapter you can easily achieve odometer correction, Audio decoding, airbag resetting, engine ECU resetting, IMMO, programming key for Benz &BMW etc. And this Digimaster supports English.

DashFixer

DashFixer is a hand-held tool that allows you to correct mileage problems on most vehicles. It is backlit, which helps you read the information on the display even in the sunlight, and it comes with an internal chip that allows you to save and/or back up vehicle data. You can also back up data to your computer. It comes in six different languages and allows you to edit vehicle data. This odometer correction tool is designed for industry professionals. 

 

Black Box

This tool is designed for industry professionals, and it allows you to reprogram your odometer. This tool also allows you to run tests on your vehicle systems and figure out what's wrong with it, and it also allows you to view hexadecimal codes, which are codes for tests on-board diagnostic II (OBD-II) vehicles. The Black Box tool is compatible with most European and American vehicles and some Asian vehicles, including Kia, Toyota and Honda.

Car code readers can only be used on OBD II (on-board diagnostic two) systems integrated in all vehicles since 1996. Some GM models began OBD II in 1995. OBD II standardized the location and plug application of the vehicle's computerized system, which simplified the equipment needed and the diagnosis time. The first obdii code scanner was expensive and more complicated to use because they required different data chips for various car models. The Auto Code Scanner today require no data chips and are much more affordable to the home mechanic. Such as MaxiScan EU702 Code Reader and maxiscan FR704 Code reader from Xcardiag online shop, these multifunctional Code Scanner Readers are great. Because of they are reliable, easy-to-use and affordable. 

eu702-obd2-code-scanner-reader-2.jpg

Instruction:

1. Open the driver's-side door and look under the dash for the trapezoidal diagnostic link connector (DLC). Since the implementation of OBD II, it is mandated that all DLCs be located within two feet of the steering wheel. Most are located under the driver's-side dash on either side of the steering wheel column. However, this is not the case for some models. Refer to the owner's manual of the vehicle if necessary to locate the DLC.

2. Remove the DLC cover if there is one. Some vehicles don't employ DLC covers. The covers simply pull off.

3. Insert the plug of the maxiscan EU702 (EU702 for example) into the DLC outlet. This outlet is easily identified, since it is similar in shape to the code reader's plug. The vehicle's battery will provide power to the code reader.

4. Turn the ignition key to the "on" position without starting the engine. This will provide power to all electrical components and illuminate the instrument panel lights.

5. Read the menu of the obdii code scanner and use the key or arrow to move to the "read codes" or "DTCs" (diagnostic trouble codes) option. Since Auto Code Scanner, made by many manufacturers and feature slightly different options, you will need to read the manual of the code reader to fully understand all of its functions.

6. Press the "enter" key, if applicable, once the "read codes" or "DTCs" option has been selected. Refer to the code reader manual to determine which DTC triggered the malfunction indicator lamp (MI, also known as the check engine light or service engine light).

7. Clear the code, if applicable and desired (some inexpensive models simply read codes), by scrolling to the "erase code" selection and pressing enter. Some fault code readers may feature an "erase" button which simply needs to be pressed.

8. Wait until the "command set" message appears on the onscreen menu of the OBD2 code scanner.

Tacho Pro 2008 is the most sold programming-device for digital speedometers throughout the world.But quite a few consumers have some problems whenever they are employing the Tacho Pro 2008?

tacho-pro-u2008-dash-programmer-4.jpg

Here some primary problems on Tacho Pro 2008.

1.Q:Can this device be updated?

A:Pls never try to update it.It can be damaged.

2.Q:Do I need to move the dashboard?

A:Yes,you need.

3.Q:Do you've user manual in package deal for each model?Simply because I'm not good at tips on how to use this tool,thanks!

A:Dear friend,yes,we've,but our tacho professional need to remove the dashboard and then transform miles.

we've got many PDF in CD,you can look at.

4.Q:what exactly is distinction between digimaster 3 and tacho pro 2008.07 or tacho pro 2008.01?

A:digimaster 3 is often a very profeesional and excellent device for miles.

as tacho pro 2008.07,digimaster 3 can do newer auto till 2010,and might be additional new car when it get update on line,but tacho pro only can do auto till 2007-2008,can't be updated.

Each instrument no want tokens,but if you desire to add new vehicle to digimaster 3 ,you require get tokens from us.And also this 2 tools need to remove the dashboard,and digimaster 3 is more difficult to work with,it require extra specialist technical handle.

For function,DIGIMASTER 3 can do far more:

Major function of Digimaster III:

 

1. Odometer correction

2. Audio decoding

3. Airbage reset

4. ECU programming

Why Use ECU Chip Tuning tool How do you change or modify an EEPROM chip in your 

car to make your car perform better? Well, you can use the ECU programmer, 

something like carprog full to achieve that. But what is ECU chip tuning? Let 

learn something about it. carprog-full-5

 What is auto ECU? 

Engine control unit(ECU) are electronic devices that control many different 

portions of the operation of an internal combustion engine. Engine control 

units use sensors to monitor engine function and other performance information. 

They can monitor and control the air pressure inside the car's intake manifold, 

and keep track of how much throttle is applied during the car's operation. 

Engine control units can also measure and regulate the temperature and pressure 

of air in the engine. The engine control unit will take action, managing the 

performance of the car according to the programming it has received. 

chip tuning in vehicle

Chip tuning refers to changing or modifying an EPROM chip in a car's or other 

vehicle's electronic control unit to achieve better performance, whether it be 

more power, cleaner emissions, or better fuel economy. The new software is 

flashed to the ECU chip, also called a PROM or Programmable Read Only Memory 

chip, using a cable attached to the ALDL (The ALDL connector, or Assembly Line 

Diagnostic Link, usually positioned beneath the steering wheel, will have 

either a 12-pin OBD-I or 16-pin OBD-II connector. The 16-pin OBD-II system has 

become standard on most cars since 1996 while the 12-pin OBD-I system was used 

primarily on cars made between 1982 and 1996. Some 1994 and 1995 year model 

cars may have a 16-pin ALDL but still utilize the OBD-I system). Most modern 

cars made after 1980 use computer-controlled fuel-injected engines, rather than 

mechanical carburetor-assisted engines. Newer vehicle technology allows engine 

parameter adjustments through modification chips; however, these chips are not 

normally used for carburetor engines. 

 Why we need the Chip Tuning Tool? 

Chip tuning can be a great way to increase horsepower and performance, if done 

correctly. It is very important to use only reputable companies for any sort of 

vehicle modification in order to prevent serious engine or ECU damage. Keep in 

mind that ECU chip tuning can, in some situations, increase ownership costs by 

increasing fuel consumption and requiring more frequent replacement of engine 

parts. And it is possible to change a car's performance by adjusting a few 

areas of the engine control unit. However, for drivers seeking an appreciable 

boost in power and performance, chip tuning may just be the way to go. But 

attention: when you choose an ECU chip tuning tool you should choose one that 

fits your car, like carprog full, the universal tool  which is low cost and 

user friendly. 

Even if the situation is not considered as an emergency, you should report any 

findings to your auto service mechanic as soon as possible. If you are diligent 

enough to follow all the required automotive diagnostic and maintenance 

procedures for your vehicle, your need for car repair will surely decrease. 

That may mean less auto AC repair, brakes repair, transmission repair or engine 

repair. And when you do need any kind of car repair, you will surely benefit 

from the abovementioned tips on what you should expect from your auto service 

shop.
