Module cloning + programming
Send us the module. We read and save the original, do the work on the bench, verify it, and ship it back ready to install.
What we can do by mail
Everything we sell is done on our bench, with no vehicle needed. Here's how to tell which group your job is in.
Just ship the module
- Unlocks for tuning
- Read + backup
- Bricked or failed-flash recovery
- EEPROM and bench repair
- Injector cleaning, testing and flow matching
Replacement modules
- ECU / PCM clones
- TCM / TCU clones
- BMW / MINI DME clones
- Used or salvage modules set up to match your car
Ship the original and the replacement together. We copy your original into the replacement so it's plug-and-play, with the same VIN, keys and options.
Needs the vehicle
- A brand-new or blank module with no original to copy
- Key programming and immobilizer setup
- Relearns and network or security setup that factory software runs in the car
These have to be done with the car at a dealer or local shop. Original lost or unreadable? Email us the part number first. If it can't be done on our bench, we'll tell you before you ship anything.
Services + starting prices
Read + full backup
A complete bench read of your module, saved under your job number. Smart insurance before any other work.
ECU / PCM cloning
Copies your original module to a replacement unit so it matches the car, keys and options.
TCM / TCU cloning
Transmission control modules, including GM T87 and T87A and other common units.
BMW / MINI DME cloning
Engine computer clones for BMW and MINI, so a replacement DME starts and runs with the original keys.
ECU unlock
Unlocked for HP Tuners, EFILive and more, so your tuner can write a calibration. See tuning unlocks →
TCU / TCM unlock
Transmission unlocks for shift and torque tuning, including the GM T87A. T87A unlock →
Bricked + failed-flash recovery
Modules that died during a flash or update, brought back on our bench. No vehicle needed.
Bricked module recovery
Recovery of a module killed by a failed flash, whenever the hardware allows it.
EEPROM + bench repair
Direct EEPROM and flash work on the board when a module won't communicate.
Module diagnosis
Not sure the module is the problem? We test it and tell you what failed.
Prices are our labor. OEM software subscriptions, HP Tuners credits, third-party unlock licenses, donor modules and shipping are added at cost, and your quote shows every line before we start. Need it fast? Rush service is +$100.
Every module, every time
- Photographed, with part, hardware, software and serial numbers logged
- Visual inspection for water, heat or physical damage
- Power and communication check
- Full original read, archived under your job number
- Clone, unlock or program
- Checksum and communication verified
- Final check and photos
- Sealed, tagged and shipped back tracked
We program. You tune.
Programming makes a module work: cloned, configured or unlocked. Calibration is the tune itself, and it stays with you or your tuner. We list programming separately on every invoice and never sell tuning to your customer. Shops get trade pricing: see For shops.
Legitimate work only
Every clone needs the VIN, your ID or work order, and proof of ownership or the owner's authorization. We don't do:
- Odometer or mileage changes
- VIN changes to disguise a vehicle
- Immobilizer defeats without authorization
- Programming for stolen modules or keys
- Emissions-defeat programming
90-day workmanship
If our programming causes a problem within 90 days, we make it right. Not covered:
- Defective donor or replacement modules
- Water damage or internal hardware failure
- Vehicle wiring, voltage or misdiagnosis
- Aftermarket tuning or calibration
Before you ship
Do I send the old module, the new one, or both?
For a clone, send both: the original (even if it's failing) and the replacement. For an unlock, reflash or recovery, send just the module. Not sure? Start an order and we'll tell you.
What if my original module is dead?
Often we can still read it on the bench, even when it won't talk in the car. If it can't be read, we tell you before doing anything else, and you only pay for the diagnosis.
Is my data safe?
Yes. We save a full original read before any change and archive it under your job number, so your module can always be put back the way it came in.
Can you work on Global B or newer controllers?
Some, depending on the controller and the tools available for it. Start an order with the part number and we'll confirm before you ship.
Send the original if you have it. With your original and the replacement together, most modules can be cloned plug-and-play on our bench. If the original is gone, mail-in programming is available on supported applications, but some setups (security, immobilizer or network initialization) have to be finished with the vehicle present. We'll tell you before you ship.
