Reprogramming
Information for reprogramming
This section provides you with all the information on the diagnosis services for Lamborghini vehicles.
General Information
Lamborghini offers independent operators the opportunity to perform diagnosis via special software that can write data in the Immobilizer and reprogram the engine and gearbox control units, using commercial interfaces that comply with SAE J2534 and J2534-1 standard.
This standard outlines the specifications necessary for a generic peripheral device (hardware) to interface with vehicles.
You must register on the Lamborghini portal before you can download the software.
The software may be used only upon purchase of the relative licenses, which permit the software to be used for limited periods.
Hardware tools
The following commercial interfaces have been tested by Automobili Lamborghini:
- Car DAQ-Plus cable bundle (ditta Drew Technologies) [easyazon_cta align="center" identifier="B006HUTM8S" key="small-light"]
- VSI-2534 (ditta DGTECH of Dearborn Group) [easyazon_cta align="center" identifier="B01C4JJWNU" key="small-light"]
- iFlash 2534 Global Programmaer (ditta Blue Streak Electronics)
