KUFATEC Application Coding Interface

Application Coding Interface v1.2 (20.08.2019)

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

Using the coding interface

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.

Bus rest

Final work / bus rest

Important note: After the coding has been completed, you need to wait for the bus rest.
Proceed as follows:
– Switch off ignition and close all doors.
– Close up the car by remote control.
– Leave the car for about 10 minutes.
