I changed a Gateway yesterday for Pipston, wasn't too bad to do and thankfully all worked well.

You need to have a good idea of your previous coding when generating the new code for the replacement Gateway.

If you copy the code, and make a note of the label file used from the old one you can manually open LCode found in the RossTech folder, paste in the code and open the correct label file to tell you the options ticked.

With the new one fitted open the coding section and use the other open instance of LCode to cross reference.

You can actually put it higher if you put it through the top vent insert and pop it to the right so it sits just under the grille on top :)

My car is going in to the dealer for a spot of work next week and I was thinking of killing 2 birds with 1 stone and getting them to code the new gateway.

I havent much faith in the dealer for having done 1 before, so how big a job is it for them? Is it straight forward if it is new to them?

I know for installing a new Maxidot unit, it should just be a case of them following the instructions on the VAS programmer.

You would hope they would just duplicate the settings, but there is no guarantee they wont royally screw it up like most dealers seem to.

I'm sure they can do it.  Whether they want to, or whether they get it right is a different matter.
