231 ((install)) - Tachosoft Mileage Calculator

The algorithm failed to overwrite all redundant storage locations (multiple mileage copies). Solution: Use the "Deep Scan" feature in version 231. It finds all three, five, or seven mileage locations (common in Mercedes and VAG). Manually verify using a hex editor like HxD.

Newer cars store mileage simultaneously in multiple independent control units, such as the Engine Control Module (ECM), the transmission control unit (TCU), the body control module (BCM), and even electronic ignition switches (like Mercedes-Benz EIS systems). If a technician changes the mileage only in the instrument cluster, the other modules will detect a mismatch, flag a fault code, or automatically overwrite the cluster back to the highest stored value.

Because Tachosoft 231 is an older software release, it lacks native support for the encrypted microcontrollers (such as Renesas, NEC, or Motorola secured chips) found in contemporary digital cockpits. Modern technicians usually rely on cloud-updated OBD2 diagnostic tablets (like Autel, OBDstar, or Abrites) that automate these calculations safely over a secure network.

If a vehicle’s dashboard displays a different mileage than the ECU, TachoSoft can align them. Basic Workflow:
