MODULE CLONING & PROGRAMMING
Replacement modules cloned and programmed to your vehicle
Luxury Automotive Locksmith LTD clones and programs vehicle modules in Vancouver and Metro Vancouver, including engine control units (ECUs), body control modules and immobilizer-related modules. Cloning copies the data from your original module onto a replacement so the car accepts it. Programming matches a new or used module to your vehicle and keys.
A failed or damaged module can stop a car starting even with a good key, because the module no longer matches the vehicle’s immobilizer data.
What we handle
- ECU and engine module cloning
- Immobilizer and key-related module programming
- Body control module (BCM) matching
- Used or replacement modules programmed to your vehicle and keys
- Programming extra keys once the module is matched
HOW MODULE CLONING WORKS
From a failed module to a car that starts
1. We identify the module and the fault. Make, model, year and the module label tell us what the vehicle needs.
2. We clone or prepare the replacement. Where the original data can be read, we copy it to the replacement. Otherwise we program the replacement to the vehicle.
3. We match it to your keys. The module and your keys have to agree before the car will start.
4. We test. The car starts, the keys are recognized and the related systems respond before we leave.
We ask for photo ID and proof of ownership before we clone or program a module.

- A module has failed or been damaged by water or a power fault

PRICE AND PREPARATION
What affects the price, and what to have ready
Price depends on the make, model and year, the type of module, and whether the original data can be read for cloning, plus the time of day. We quote on the phone once we know the vehicle and the symptoms.
Have ready: the make, model and year, the VIN if you can find it, a photo of the module label or part number if you have the module, and photo ID with proof of ownership. We serve Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, North Vancouver and the rest of Metro Vancouver. See all our service areas.
