Tired of Unpredictable Electrical Issues in Your Buick?
Is your 2012 Buick Regal or other GM vehicle acting possessed? Flickering dashboard lights, power windows with a mind of their own, or worse, a car that refuses to start can all point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). These frustrating and often intermittent problems can disrupt your daily life and create a sense of unease every time you get behind the wheel. A trip to the dealership often means a hefty bill for diagnostics, a new part, and mandatory programming fees. We offer a smarter, more direct solution.
The Simple, Reliable Fix: A Programmed BCM
This is not just a part; it’s a comprehensive programming service designed to get you back on the road quickly and affordably. We take the guesswork and dealership hassle out of the equation. By sending us your original BCM, we can perform a full data transfer to a replacement unit. This cloning process copies all the vehicle-specific information, including key data and security settings, making the replacement a true plug-and-play module. This is the most effective way to solve BCM-related issues without requiring expensive scan tools or a trip to the dealer after installation. For a seamless repair, trust our expert service for your Programmed 2012 Buick Regal BCM.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM:
- โ Effortless Installation: Because we clone your original module’s data, this BCM arrives ready to install. No additional programming or dealer visits are required, saving you time and hundreds of dollars.
- โ Restored Functionality: Say goodbye to frustrating electrical gremlins. This service restores proper operation of your power windows, door locks, interior/exterior lights, and security system.
- โ Guaranteed Compatibility: This service covers a wide range of part numbers, including 13580696, 123589093, 13588446, 13584692, and 13583542, ensuring a perfect match for your vehicle’s system.
- โ Peace of Mind: This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty. Drive with confidence knowing your purchase is protected.
Expert Insight: Why Cloning is the Superior Choice
Many people consider buying a used BCM from a junkyard to save money. However, a used BCM is ‘locked’ to the donor vehicle’s VIN and security system. Installing it in your car will cause a no-start condition and require dealership programming, negating any initial savings. Our cloning service bypasses this entirely. We transfer the unique ‘digital handshake’ from your original module to the new one, making the car believe its original BCM is still installed. This is the most reliable method for a successful BCM replacement.

Important Post-Installation Notes
While our Programmed 2012 Buick Regal BCM is designed to be plug-and-play, some vehicle systems may require a recalibration procedure after installation. Please be aware of the following:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the airbag system with the new BCM.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the mail-in programming service work?
It’s simple. After you place your order, we will contact you with detailed instructions to ship your original BCM to us. Once we receive it, our technicians will clone the data to the replacement unit and ship it back to you, typically within 1-2 business days. We provide tracking information as soon as it ships.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or not communicating?
In many cases, even if the BCM is failing, we can still extract the necessary data. If your module is severely damaged (e.g., by water or fire), please contact us before ordering so we can discuss the available options.
Is this service really plug-and-play?
Yes, for over 95% of installations. The cloning process handles all the necessary security and vehicle-specific programming. The only exceptions are rare cases where a secondary procedure, like the airbag sync or brake pedal relearn mentioned above, is required by the vehicle’s onboard systems.
How long will my car be down?
The total time depends on shipping transit times. Our in-house processing time is very fast, usually just one to two business days. We recommend using an expedited shipping service to send us your module to minimize downtime.
Will I need to have my keys reprogrammed?
No. Because we transfer all the data from your original module, including the immobilizer and key information, your existing keys will work perfectly as soon as the programmed module is installed.
