The Process

Unlike other providers we will see you through from the initial order to the using of your new kit.  This will include going through the application for your new FDRS account (IDS will already be loaded with a 1 year licence).  With the correct information supplied by you, we will, on your behalf, fill out all the relevant documentation to get you registered.  We will then issue you with your Log On information.  This is ALL included in the price.  On top of that we will “hold your hand” for the first month of usage as you are getting to grips with it.  Standard (non tech) machine support will run for 1 year from purchase running along side the hardware warranty. Everything supplied is  GENUINE equipment.

If for any reason your account with FORD is turned down, you will be required to follow any steps required to complete any requirements as set out by FORD. No refund will be given in this instance.  General Application to FORD takes around 1 week however your equipment can be supplied to you within 3 days. The above does NOT include full security accreditation and can be discussed as an option due to a lengthy process.
