Liability Exclusion
Dear Customer,
Our cable sets are developed according to the connection- and circuit diagrams
of the corresponding car manufacturers. Before the serial production, the
cable sets will be adjusted and tested on an original vehicle. Therefore, the
integration into the vehicle electronics follows the guidelines provided by
the car manufacturer. Our installation instructions correspond to what is
common in the vehicle electric/electronic regarding the required pre-
understanding and the accuracy of the description in text and picture. They
have proven its worth in practice hundreds of times.
If you should experience any difficulties while installing one of our
products, we are available to provide support via phone or email.
Additionally, we offer you to execute the installation in our workshop in Bad
Segeberg.
Costs, arising from third parties assigned with the installation of our
products, are not being covered by us. We will only compensate the proven
costs of the assembly and the costs of the disassembly of the defective
product, if it turns out that there is an issue with our product. We limit the
reimbursement of costs up to 110 Euro gross and reserve the right to verify
the claim in our workshop in Bad Segeberg. The costs for shipping will be
refunded if the claim is justified.
We made the experience, that every professional workshop that is equipped with
the necessary diagnostic devices, the diagnostic software and the
manufacturer’s circuit diagrams, is able to find any possible defects in one
of our products in a short period of time. The assembly and disassembly
including troubleshooting the issue should therefore only take up to 60
minutes.
We also made the experience, that many professional workshops are not able to
cope with the manufacturer’s circuit diagrams and can’t read common wiring
schemes, which results in the calculation of several hours for the simplest
installations. You will understand the fact, that we can neither take the risk
of finding a reliable workshop for you, nor can we finance the training of the
employees of your trusted workshop.
Costs, arising from purchasing missing parts or replacements for defective
parts from other suppliers, are covered by us up to the amount that the
subsequent delivery would have caused (saved expenses). According to the legal
warranty law, there would be no reimbursement right, if there was no deadline
for the subsequent fulfilling set or the deadline for a subsequent fulfilling
hasn’t expired.
That being said, if you have any problems during the installation or operation
of one of our products call us, write us an email, send us the product or come
by our workshop in Bad Segeberg with your vehicle. We are certain, that we can
find a solution for any kind of concern.
Kind regards,
Your Kufatec GmbH & Co. KG Team

Table 1: Instructions to use the coding interface
| No. | Work step | Note |
|---|---|---|
| !! | **Important note: For the models from model year 2019 (VW, Audi, |
Skoda, Seat) – the bonnet must be opened before coding. It must remain open
during the coding process.|
1| Turn on the ignition. Please note that the engine will not be
started. Wait approx. 30 seconds and plug the interface into the diagnostic
interface (OBD II plug) of the vehicle. This interface is located in the
driver’s footwell on the left above the foot rest|
2| Variation 1: If the dongle has one LED, the LED will glow
red continuously as soon as the coding has begun. As soon as the LED goes
out, the coding has finished and the interface can be taken out again.
Depending on the vehicle or the retrofit, the coding may take up to a minute.|
3| Variation 2: If the dongle has two LEDs, a red and a green
LED will glow as soon as the coding has begun. During the coding process,
the green LED flashes/flickers. As soon as the red LED goes out and
only the green LED** glows continuously, the coding has finished and the
interface can be taken out again. Depending on the vehicle or the retrofit,
the coding may take up to a minute.|
Note additional vehicle function
Note additional vehicle function
- Note: If the dongle offers/activates additional vehicle functions, check the vehicle’s documents for the particular operation.
