Advanced driver assist systems (ADAS) have proliferated to the point of being downright common nowadays. Features like park assist and blind spot monitoring offer motorists visual and audible alerts to indicate the proximity of objects and can even steer the vehicle with minimal input from the driver.

Driver monitoring systems help ensure motorists are awake and alert so they’re not driving while drowsy or distracted. Smart window motor systems protect curious children and pets. Even infotainment and navigation system integration permit a flow of information that’s integrated into the vehicle, enhancing comfort and safety like never before.

And developments like electronic power steering racks and turbochargers with variable geometry are critical in the quest for greater fuel efficiency.

Drivers are safest and most comfortable when these systems are in play. But when a driver relies on a safety item that’s not functioning, safety is on the line. Many complex electronics systems need to function correctly for an even more basic reason: they’re often required for a modern vehicle to even start and run.

In years gone by, the parts to fix these systems were dealer-only, and even if aftermarket or salvage parts could be obtained, the installation procedure often demanded proprietary programming capability.

And that’s where Dorman comes into the picture.

We’re unique in that we’re the only aftermarket supplier creating our own software for many replacement parts. That software allows us to ise cutting-edge hardware like advanced PCBs and microcontrollers. We do that to help ensure our electronic modules are faster and more robust and reliable than original equipment—and the parts offered by other aftermarket suppliers who copy the original equipment.
