Expert Insight: Why VIN Programming is Non-Negotiable
As a technician, I’ve seen countless drivers try to save a few bucks by installing a used, non-programmed computer. It never ends well. Modern vehicles like your Dart have a complex anti-theft system (immobilizer) that requires the ECM to have the correct VIN programmed into it. Without it, the car simply will not start. Our process ensures this critical step is done correctly *before* you receive the part, eliminating the most common point of failure and frustration in this repair. This isn’t just a convenience; it’s the key to a successful installation.
