Other Coding Software Tools: Conversion

Conversion allows specific functions of a control module operation to be changed much the same way Car and Key Memory is used to customize a vehicle.

The coding software will compose a list of modules with conversion possibilities based on the model variant.

Conversion changes the code only in the module that is responsible for the changed function.

The stored ZCS code is not affected and recoding that particular module again will return the module to basic status and reverse the effects of the conversion process.
