Great Coding Service
My experience with RJ Automotive was a very great one. The technician was on time for our coding session and very accomodating. We ran into some connection issues but the technician walked me through the trouble shooting process very quickly. My GT63 wing now stays in the fixed position with no problems with the ESP or speed limiter. I would hoghly recommend RJ Automotive for the GT63 wing coding.
GLC43 Major Upgrade Job
I bought my GLC43 C253 to RJA for a HUGE upgrade of adding AMG drive unit buttons on top of my heated steering wheel he made it possible to give my GLC a true AMG look he was able to retain the heat and he was also able to install magnetic paddle shifters for me he all around upgraded my car to perfection unlocking race mode several coding options and he went above and beyond upgraded my head unit to MBUXs latest unit plus a massive life changing upgrade of adaptive cruise control and multibeam which now gives me the matrix headlight dimming functioning at night all around he’s turned my glc43 from a boring stock car to a ultimate AMG luxury cruiser and I intend to come back for a driver assistance upgrade package with RJA.
Nothing but best wishes to RJA for his work he fulfilled everything I asked for flawlessly.

Best coding company ever
Best coding company ever. Secure coding for latest models and will recode for no cost if dealer overwrites. Highly recommended
Excellent Experience
This was an an excellent experience. The technician knew exactly what to do, and guided me through the process. Everything was exactly as advertised. Highly recommend.
I had an excellent experience with RJ…
I had an excellent experience with RJ Automotive. The team is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and clearly takes pride in what they do. From my first enquiry, their response was quick and professional, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free.
Their customer service is truly outstanding, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to help. On top of that, I received a one-year warranty for extra peace of mind, which really shows their confidence in the quality of their work.
It’s rare to find a company that combines expertise with such a high level of care for their customers. I would highly recommend RJ Automotive to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy service.
Had the Distronic upgrade
Had the Distronic upgrade done to my EQC. Very professional installation and talked me through the new functionality step by step so even I could understand. Really friendly and very patient. Thanks
Highly Professional Team with Great Customer Service
I had a great experience buying from this company. From the beginning, their customer service was excellent — very responsive, friendly, and always willing to help whenever I had questions. Communication was clear and professional throughout the entire process, which made everything much easier.
The coding process itself was very smooth and well-organized. They clearly know what they’re doing and handled everything in a professional and efficient way.
Overall, I’m really happy with the service and the final result. If you’re looking for a team that is professional, reliable, and easy to work with, I would definitely recommend them!
Would not use RJ Automotive again
Paid £600 for the Distronic Pro retrofit on my Mercedes EQC in March 2024.
It did activate adaptive cruise, but straight after the coding I lost the factory D Auto behaviour where the car used to increase regen/slow down for vehicles ahead. I reported it almost immediately. After multiple sessions, settings changes, a radar update and Mercedes updates, it was never fixed.
RJ Automotive kept saying it was a Mercedes/software issue and not related to the retrofit. However, when I finally had the retrofit removed and the car put back to factory, D Auto immediately started working properly again.
Two years later, when returning the car, I still had to pay another £60 + VAT just to remove the retrofit.
So in the end: £600 retrofit, lost a factory function I actually used, no fix, then charged again to undo it — and the factory function came back as soon as the retrofit was removed.
Would not use RJ Automotive again.

Great Service
I recently got a screen retrofit for my car and I couldn't be happier. Raj was incredibly friendly and professional throughout the process. The installation was seamless and it has completely transformed the look of my interior. He even went the extra mile to help me fix an existing error on my screen. Highly recommend his services!
Knowledgeable
Knowledgeable, thorough and professional. They can unlock a good number of options at reasonable prices.
I’m a US Customer with a 2024 GLE580
I’m a US Customer with a 2024 GLE580. I got my car tuned and wanted my display to update horsepower and they were able to code in my car to read the accurate horsepower and torque, give me the AMG screens, and was able to code my car to show AMG GLE. 10/10 experience
intelligent multibeam…
That coding intelligent light multibeam Mercedes it is very good 😊
Easy installation of a superior product
The entire experience of enabling ILS+ features on my 2022 Mercedes EQS sedan was easy. The required dongle arrived quickly, and the programming was quick (ca. 25 minutes). The guidance through the programming is clear and easy for a non-technical person to follow. Implementation of the full features of ILS+ substantially increases might vision while eliminating the potential for blinding oncoming drivers with high beams.
Seamless from start to finish
Instructions on installing DISTRONIC PRO components were easy to follow with clear pictures provided for key steps. All of the parts supplied for the retrofit were genuine MB in new condition packed well for transit overseas. Coding took about 20 minutes with constant communication through WhatsApp providing instruction to turn the ignition on/off at certain points. Future coding will definitely be through RJ Automotive. Money absolutely well spent.
Helpful and Smooth Remote Coding
The coding was fast and smooth. From checking what possible, making appointment, to the remote coding all are excellent.
If I had to sum up RJ Automotive in one…
If I had to sum up RJ Automotive in one word: brilliant.
These guys really know what they’re doing and made light work of everything I asked. They installed and calibrated adaptive cruise control and also sorted a fault on my Hermes control unit with no drama at all.
What stood out most was how reassuring and transparent they were throughout. They kept me informed at every step and were clearly more interested in doing the job properly rathe than chasing money, which is rare and refreshing in this trade.
I’ll 100% be using them again. Highly recommended.
DIY dashboard upgrade with remote coding service.
After a lot of research I decided to use RJ Automotive to upgrade my Mercedes dashboard. I chose the DIY method. RJA supplied the parts required and coded my vehicle remotely. The process was a breeze from start to finish.
