    • Fixed further connection and compatibility issues with K43 (note: only Astra J is currently supported).
    • Fixed errors within the PDC module and added support for Insignia B.
    • Added 1st and 2nd generation IPC support for Chevrolet Volt and Vauxhall Ampera.
    • Added 2nd generation BCM support for Chevrolet Volt and Vauxhall Ampera.
    • Fixed an issue affecting CD500 programming within the Radio module.
    • Under the hood stability improvements and generic bug fixes.

  2. 1.2.1 - Small number, big changes

    v1.2.110 June 2026

    More module support, improvements, and bug fixing

    • Revamped Radio VIN Reset engine, now supports: CD450, CD500, CD600, DVD800, NAVI600, NAVI650, NAVI900, NAVI950, R3 and R4 radios. CD400 support will come later this year.
    • Added support for HMI3.0 (Navi Pro) VIN Reset.
    • Added EXPERIMENTAL support for Abrites. Please use at your own risk. When issues arise, please send logs to hello@fwlabs.co.uk
    • Fixed a UI bug where the SKC for the vehicle, when read from BCM, would read backwards. e.g: True SKC: 7345, Read SKC: 5437
    • Fixed an error where K43 could not be connected to
    • Fixed an error where language switching would not work, resulting in a mix of old language and new selected language.
    • Added French language.
    • UI Improvements and bug fixes
    • ECU is temporarily removed. This is due to multiple reports of failure to write new VIN. Due to the amount of reports, we have decided it is best we remove it for the time being while we fix the issue. As of the release of ForgePoint 1.2.1, we have no timeline of when the ECU VIN options will be back but we will of course, keep you updated.
