Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming service work?
It’s simple. After you place your order, we will contact you with instructions to ship your original BCM to our facility. Once we receive it, we will clone the data to the replacement module and ship it back to you, typically within 1-2 business days. Tracking information will be provided.
Will I need to have my keys reprogrammed after installation?
No. Our cloning service transfers all your vehicle’s security and key data to the replacement BCM. Your current keys will work exactly as they did before, with no additional programming required.
Is this BCM truly plug-and-play?
Yes. Once we have programmed the replacement module with your vehicle’s data, it is ready for installation. Simply disconnect the battery, swap the modules, and reconnect the battery. No further programming is needed, though some minor relearn procedures (like for the airbag system) may be necessary in some cases.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This can happen occasionally. It simply means the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag system’s Supplemental Deployable Module (SDM). A technician with a professional scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve it.
Which part numbers is this module compatible with?
This BCM is a direct replacement for part numbers 13580696, 123589093, 13588446, 13584692, and 13583542. It is the correct solution for a 2012 Equinox BCM 13588446 and other compatible vehicles.
