Expert Insight: The Power of Cloning
Many people consider buying a used BCM from a salvage yard to save money, but this often leads to more problems. A used module from another vehicle contains the wrong VIN and security information. It won’t start your car or operate its features correctly without being reprogrammed by a dealerโa service they are often reluctant to perform on customer-supplied parts. Our cloning service bypasses this entire ordeal. We create a perfect digital twin of your original BCM, ensuring every setting is correct from the start. It’s the smartest, most reliable way to perform this repair.

Post-Installation Notes
In some cases, minor relearn procedures may be necessary after installation:
- Airbag System: If the airbag light is on, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure may be needed with a pro-level scan tool.
- Brake Pedal Position: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor might be required on certain models to ensure proper brake light and stability control function.
