Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your GM vehicle? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, random warning messages, or a security system that prevents your car from starting are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM).

Expert Insight: Why Cloning is Superior to a Standard Used Part
Many people consider buying a used BCM from a salvage yard, but this often leads to more problems. A used BCM is locked to its original vehicle’s VIN and security settings. Installing it in your car will immediately cause a conflict, resulting in a no-start condition and multiple warning lights. Dealerships are often unable or unwilling to reprogram a used module. Our cloning service for the Programmed 2012-2013 Buick LaCrosse BCM bypasses all these issues, making your original module’s ‘digital DNA’ live on in a fully functional replacement part.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this cloning service work?
It’s simple. After you place your order, you will ship your original BCM to us. We then use specialized equipment to extract the critical vehicle data (like VIN, security information, and option settings) and flash it onto the replacement BCM. We then ship both your original and the newly programmed unit back to you.
Do I need to do any programming after installation?
No. The module arrives ready for a true plug-and-play installation. However, in some cases, minor relearn procedures may be necessary. For instance, if the airbag light appears, an ‘SDM Primary Key Setup’ may be needed. A ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ might also be required on certain models. These are simple procedures for any professional scan tool.
Which part numbers is this compatible with?
This service and module are compatible with part numbers 13580696, 123589093, 13588446, 13584692, and 13583542, fitting a wide range of GM vehicles.
How long does the service take?
We pride ourselves on a fast turnaround. The programming is typically completed and the module is shipped back out within 1-2 business days of us receiving your original BCM.
What if my original BCM is completely dead?
In most cases, even if the BCM is non-functional in the vehicle, we can still retrieve the necessary data for cloning. Please contact us with the specifics of your module’s failure if you have concerns.
Is this a difficult part to replace?
The BCM is typically located under the dash on the driver’s or passenger’s side. While replacement is straightforward for those with mechanical experience, it can be in a tight spot. We always recommend consulting a service manual or a qualified technician if you’re unsure. This Programmed 2012-2013 Buick LaCrosse BCM makes the electronic part of the job incredibly simple.
