Expert Insight: The Power of Cloning
Why is our cloning service the superior choice? When a BCM is replaced, it must be programmed to your car’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and specific options. A new or used module from a dealer or junkyard is a blank slate; it requires specialized, expensive tools to program it. Our cloning process bypasses this entirely. We perform a direct data transfer from your old BCM to the replacement one. This means the ‘new’ module already knows your car intimately—it has the correct VIN, key information, and security settings. It’s the most reliable and efficient method to solve BCM issues, saving you both time and money.
This service is the ideal solution for both savvy DIY mechanics and professional repair shops looking for a reliable 2014-2016 Malibu Body Control Module. The process is simple: after your purchase, we will provide instructions for you to ship your original BCM to us. Once we receive it, our technicians will perform the data transfer and ship your ready-to-install replacement module back to you promptly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this programming service work?
It’s simple. After you place your order, you will ship your original Body Control Module to us. We will then extract the critical vehicle-specific data from it and flash that information onto the replacement module. We then ship the newly programmed module back to you, ready for installation.
Do I need to program this module after I receive it?
No. The module you receive from us will be fully programmed and ready to be installed. Our cloning service makes it a true plug-and-play solution, eliminating the need for any further programming by a dealer or mechanic.
What is the typical turnaround time?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. The programming service is typically completed within 1-2 business days of us receiving your original module. Return shipping time will depend on your location and the shipping method selected.
Will this fit models other than the Malibu?
Yes. This BCM, part number 13590851, and its interchanges fit a variety of 2014-2017 GM vehicles, including the LaCrosse, Regal, Camaro, SRX, and Volt. Please check the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility with your exact vehicle.
What if the airbag light comes on after installation?
In some cases, the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) may need to be re-synced with the new BCM. This is a simple procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ that can be performed by a qualified technician with a professional scan tool. It is only necessary if the airbag light is illuminated after the part is installed.
Is my old BCM required for this service?
Yes, your original BCM is absolutely essential. We need it to read the unique data that is specific to your car. We cannot program the replacement module without your original unit.
