Tomasz Mazurkiewicz is the founder and owner of the OEMatic brand – a workshop specialising in repairs of factory-fitted car radios, navigation systems and amplifiers. For over 15 years he has worked with OEM electronics, combining day-to-day workshop work in Sochaczew with postal servicing for customers across Poland. His published texts are based on real jobs – from identifying faults in audio modules and displays, through CAN bus diagnostics, to restoring security codes and soldering SMD components. He writes the way he speaks to customers: clearly and with an emphasis on what really works. Every article on oematic.pl is based on his own experience gained with factory car electronics.
