We offer a straightforward, professional solution to get your vehicle back to normal with our pre-programmed 2011 Equinox BCM replacement service.

Expert Insight: The BCM’s Digital DNA
Think of your BCM as the central nervous system for your Equinox’s comfort and security features. It contains vital, vehicle-specific data, including the VIN and anti-theft key information. This is why you can’t just install a used BCM from another vehicleโit won’t have the right “digital DNA.” Our cloning service meticulously transfers this critical information, making this 2011 Equinox BCM replacement recognize your keys and integrate perfectly with your vehicle’s other systems, just like the original did.

Important Post-Installation Notes
In some cases, minor recalibrations may be needed after installation. Please be aware of the following:
- 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.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control function.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this programming service work?
It’s simple. After your purchase, you ship your original BCM to us. We then transfer its unique programming and security data to this replacement module. We ship the newly programmed module back to you, ready for installation without any further programming needed.
Why can’t I just buy a used BCM from a junkyard?
A used BCM is programmed to a different vehicle’s VIN and security system. Installing it in your Equinox will result in a no-start condition and numerous system conflicts. Our cloning service ensures the replacement module is an exact digital match for your specific vehicle.
How long does the entire process take?
Once we receive your original module, our service typically takes 1-2 business days. The total time will depend on shipping times to and from our facility.
Do I need special tools for installation?
Installation typically requires basic hand tools to access the BCM (usually located in the dash or kick panel area). No special programming tools are required. However, as noted, a professional scan tool might be needed for post-installation relearn procedures in some cases.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a known possibility. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system (SDM). A qualified technician with a professional-grade scan tool can perform the “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure to resolve this.
Is this a new part?
This is a quality, tested replacement part that has been verified to meet or exceed original equipment performance. It is prepared and programmed specifically for your vehicle upon receipt of your original module.
