226: Module Cloning- Failures and Victories Oct 22, 2023

Show notes

Today on the show I'll share my experiences with module cloning, both the wins and the losses I've had. The need for USED modules to be programmed in vehicles doesn't seem to be going anywhere, and actually increasing with time, but it's not all rainbows and sunshine. Sometimes you run up against a wall. I'll cover Flex, Autel, IO terminal, ACDP, VVDI, AR32, & more.
