Re: CanTieCar proxy alignment

I'm not a CanTieCar user or expert but I gather the devices firmware can be updated to support other stuff and correct previously know problems.

Suggest you investigate this course of action.

Re: 2018 Fiat 500L Proxy Alignment Issue - Radio Replacement

On some later Fiats a Security Gateway Module (SGW) is fitted. This is connected somewhere in line between the EOBD port and the Engine and some other ECUs.

You code injectors to cylinders (1,2,3,4) and not by firing order.

Don't forget todo the Engine ECU Oil Change Reset if you have a DPF fitted. This is separate / additional to the normal Service Reset.

Re: Custom proxy Alfa Romeo 159 and 5 digits code

Generally you only need the 5 digit security code when:

Re: No vin or year?

So a Ducato 2014+

Probably a 290 or 295. Can't be sure.

Re: No vin or year?

See: https://www.vindecoderz.com/EN/Fiat/DUCATO You can then work from there by using the Vehicles Supported List here on MES site or you can select your Duca...

Unfortunately that is what I thought, it seems a bit poor that my Alfa Stelvio has it fitted for everyone to see and yet the 500X has no option at all for a home DIYer!!

Re: 500x sgw brake service

If you have an SGW then basically ALL write/command modes are filtered out / blocked. However you can manually release the parking brake and then disconnect the battery to ensure it can not be engaged again. This will allow you to remove the caliper and brake pads etc. If you web search the you will...
