I am assuming that you are in the US although the email address
indicates other.

Neither "universal automatic code generator" nor "universal automobile
code generator" make any sense on first reading.

I suggest one of the following:

o What they wrote isn't what they meant. Concentrate on the parts
  that make sense.

o They make a box that sends diagnostic codes to a car's
  computer and they want it to work with any car. Code in this
  sense does not mean 'software source code', but a secret/obscure word
  that gives access - as in 'the spy said the code word'.

  There is lots of info on automobile diagnostic codes on the i'net.
