Restore Full Functionality to Your Vehicle’s Electronics
Is your 2014-2015 Camaro or other GM vehicle suffering from bizarre and frustrating electrical problems? Issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a haywire security system, or intermittent starting can often be traced back to a single component: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your car’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can create a cascade of seemingly unrelated issues. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can affect your vehicle’s safety and security. Our programming service for this BCM, part number 13580698, is the definitive solution to get your car back to 100% without the exorbitant costs and hassle of a dealership visit.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights (headlights, taillights, dome lights) behaving strangely.
- ✔ The security system engaging randomly or preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Horn or wipers activating without input.
- ✔ Dash warning lights related to the security or electrical systems.
- ✔ Complete loss of power to multiple electronic accessories at once.
- ✔ A persistent parasitic battery drain that you can’t trace to another source.
The Solution: A Programmed 2014-2015 Camaro Body Control Module
Replacing a modern BCM isn’t as simple as swapping parts. Each module is programmed with your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), key fob data, and optional equipment information. A new, unprogrammed module from a dealer would require expensive, specialized tools to configure it to your car. Our unique service bypasses this entire process. We take your original BCM, extract all of its unique data, and flash it directly onto this replacement unit. The result is a true plug-and-play module. Once you receive it back, you simply install it, and your vehicle will recognize it as its own, restoring all functions seamlessly.
Our Simple Cloning Process:
- ✔ Place Your Order: Purchase this BCM service. Ensure your contact information is up-to-date.
- ✔ We Contact You: Our team will reach out with clear instructions and a shipping address for you to send your original BCM to us.
- ✔ Send Us Your Module: Carefully package and ship your original BCM to our facility.
Post-Installation Procedures
Because we clone your original data, this module is designed to be plug-and-play. However, in some GM vehicles, certain safety systems may require a quick synchronization procedure after the BCM is reconnected.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated 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 BCM and is only necessary if the light appears.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be required to ensure proper operation of the brake lights and traction control system.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a BCM cloning service?
BCM cloning is a process where we transfer the essential vehicle-specific data—like the VIN, security codes, and equipment options—from your original Body Control Module to a replacement unit. This makes the new module a perfect electronic match for your car, eliminating the need for dealership programming.
How long does the entire process take?
Once we receive your original BCM, our programming service is typically completed within 1-2 business days. We then ship the programmed module back to you. Total turnaround time will depend on shipping speeds.
Will I need to have my keys reprogrammed after installation?
No. Because we clone all the data from your original module, including the key fob information, your existing keys will work immediately upon installation without any additional programming.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
For someone with moderate mechanical skill, the BCM is generally accessible. It is often located in the driver’s or passenger’s side kick panel or behind the dash. The most important step is to disconnect the vehicle’s battery before starting the removal or installation process.
What if my original BCM is completely dead and unreadable?
In most cases, even if the BCM has failed, the memory chip containing the vital data is still readable. If for some reason we cannot retrieve the data, we will contact you to discuss options before proceeding.
Why not just buy a used BCM from a junkyard?
A used BCM from another vehicle will have that vehicle’s VIN and options programmed into it. It will not work correctly in your car and will likely cause even more issues or prevent the car from starting altogether. Our service ensures the module is a perfect match for your specific vehicle.
