Important Note on Coding Dongle:

The coding dongle is designed for single-vehicle use. It reads the vehicle's chassis number during its first application and locks itself to that specific vehicle. It cannot be used on another vehicle thereafter. Due to this, coding dongles are excluded from exchange or credit notes.
