On-site mobile automotive programming
There are many different terms for automotive computer programming such as flash updates, flash programming, software updates, reprogramming, programming, j2534 updates, etc. Essentially they all mean the same thing. To install or update a version of software on an automotive ecu. There are aftermarket tools and software that can accomplish some forms of software loading however they are not recommend by OEM manufacturers for several reasons. Somerset Mobile Diagnostics uses only OEM factory scan tools and software to perform software updates and ecu reprogramming on-site in NJ.
As many shops have found out first hand, programming automotive computers can be much more challenging than is first thought. Manufacturers require different editions of Windows, Java, browser versions and settings, 3rd party software such as adobe AIR, etc in order for their software to function properly. A missed Windows update or the wrong version of Java can cause all sorts of problems with the reprogramming process. In many circumstances different OE diagnostic software conflicts with software from other manufacturers and so requires its own drive or laptop to function. Maintaining all the different laptops and software versions can be very time consuming.
