Why Kentucky customers mail in central gateway module clone

Kentucky has roughly 4.2 million registered vehicles, and trucks, SUVs & imports make up much of what Louisville-area shops and owners mail us.

What is a central gateway module and what does it do?
The gateway is the router at the center of a modern car's network — it passes messages between the separate CAN and Ethernet bus domains so the engine, transmission, body, and infotainment modules can talk to each other, and it's the central point a scan tool reaches the car through. It also usually stores the VIN and variant coding. Brand-specific names include Mercedes ZGW/CGW, BMW ZGM, and VW/Audi J533.
