Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot program or ship the module until we receive this information.
Will I need to do anything after installation?
For most vehicles, this is a direct plug-in replacement. However, some GM vehicles from this era require a security relearn procedure (often called CASE or crank relearn) which can be done without special tools. Instructions are widely available online, and it’s a simple process that takes about 30 minutes.
My original part number is different. Will this work?
Yes. This module is a direct hardware replacement for several part numbers, including 12200411, 12201281, 12576160, and 52369718. As long as your vehicle is on the compatibility list, we will program it to function perfectly for your specific application.
Is this a brand new part?
This is a quality, inspected, and tested recycled OEM part. Each unit is verified to be fully functional before being programmed with the latest software for your vehicle, ensuring OEM-level reliability.
How does the one-year warranty work?
If the module fails within one year of the purchase date due to an internal defect, we will provide a replacement unit. The warranty covers the part itself and does not extend to labor or other related costs.
