Is this really a “Plug and Play” installation?
Yes. Because we pre-program the module to your VIN, you will not need to perform any additional programming or visit a dealership. In most cases, you simply disconnect the battery, swap the old module with the new one, and reconnect the battery. The vehicle will start and run correctly.
