What does “Plug & Play” actually mean?
It means the installation process is as simple as it sounds. Once you receive the ECM, you simply disconnect the vehicle’s battery, remove the old module, plug in the new one, and reconnect the battery. Because we have already programmed it to your vehicle’s VIN, no further software flashing or dealership intervention is necessary. The vehicle will start and run correctly immediately.
Do I need to send you my old computer (core)?
No core charge or return is required for this part. You can keep, recycle, or dispose of your old module at your convenience.
How do I provide my VIN and mileage?
You can typically provide your vehicle’s VIN and current mileage during the checkout process on our website. Please ensure this information is accurate, as it is critical for the programming service.
