In simple terms, this equipment lets us "talk" to the vehicle systems enabling us to see things that are hidden in the vehicles ECU,(Electronic Control Unit).
We have invested heavily in this area of vehicle technology with several different pieces of equipment that can help us to access the different control units on these modern vehicles.
