Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Vehicle
Is your 2012-2014 Chevrolet Camaro suffering from bizarre electrical problems? Are your power windows, door locks, or interior lights acting erratically? The Body Control Module, or BCM, is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a host of frustrating and difficult-to-diagnose issues. This isn’t just a simple component; it’s a vital computer that requires precise vehicle-specific data to function. Simply swapping it with a used one from another car will not work. Our professional cloning service is the definitive solution, providing you with a fully programmed BCM that is truly plug-and-play.
The Hassle-Free Solution: Our BCM Cloning Service
Forget expensive dealership visits and the complexities of programming a new module. Our service is designed to be simple and effective. You send us your original BCM, and we transfer all the critical data—including VIN, mileage, and key information—to a replacement unit. The module you receive back is a perfect electronic match for your vehicle, ready for immediate installation without any additional programming required. This process ensures all existing features and security systems work exactly as they did from the factory.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2013 Camaro in the shop with a classic “haunted car” scenario. The horn would honk randomly, the dome light would flicker, and the anti-theft system would engage for no reason. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. After connecting our diagnostic scanner, we saw multiple communication errors all pointing to a single source. It was a failing 2012-2014 Camaro BCM. A standard replacement would have meant a tow to the dealer and a hefty programming bill. Instead, we performed a data clone onto a replacement BCM. Within an hour of reinstalling the cloned module, all the gremlins were gone, and the car was back to normal. It’s a perfect example of how data integrity is just as important as the part itself.
Common Symptoms of a Failing 2012-2014 Camaro BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from interior or exterior lights (flickering, staying on, or not turning on).
- ✔ Instrument cluster warning lights appearing randomly (e.g., security, airbag).
- ✔ The security or anti-theft system preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Malfunctions with the keyless entry or remote start system.
- ✔ Wipers or horn activating on their own or not working at all.
- ✔ Communication errors with other vehicle modules when scanned with a diagnostic tool.
How The Process Works
- ✔ Place Your Order: Complete your purchase through our secure checkout.
- ✔ Receive Instructions: We will contact you via email or phone with detailed instructions on how to safely remove and ship your original BCM to our facility.
- ✔ We Perform the Service: Once we receive your module, our technicians will meticulously extract all the necessary data and transfer it to the replacement BCM. This service typically takes 1-2 business days.
- ✔ Receive Your Programmed Part: We ship your original module and the ready-to-install replacement BCM back to you. Tracking information will be provided as soon as it ships.
Installation and Post-Install Procedures
Installation is straightforward: simply disconnect the battery, remove the old BCM, and install the new one. However, in some vehicles, certain systems may need to be re-synced after the BCM is replaced. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool. This syncs the airbag system with the new BCM.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure proper brake light and traction control operation, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a BCM cloning service?
Cloning is the process of reading the unique, vehicle-specific software and security data from your original BCM and writing it onto a replacement BCM. This makes the replacement module an exact electronic duplicate, allowing it to work in your car without any further programming.
Will this part be truly plug-and-play?
Yes, in over 99% of cases. Because we transfer all the data from your original module, the replacement is ready for installation right out of the box. The only exceptions are rare cases where a post-install relearn procedure, like for the airbag or brake pedal sensor, is required.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or not communicating?
Even if your module is non-communicative, we can often extract the necessary data directly from its memory chips. Please contact us before ordering if your BCM has severe water or fire damage, as this can affect data recovery.
Do I need to send my keys or any other parts?
No. We only need your original Body Control Module. The key data is stored within the module itself, so there is no need to send keys, fobs, or other components.
How long does the entire process take?
The cloning service itself is completed within 1-2 business days of us receiving your module. The total turnaround time will depend on shipping times to and from our facility.
