Smart Fortwo SAM Module Cloning Service 2008-2015 – BCM Data Transfer
2008–2015 Smart Fortwo 451 SAM BCM Cloning Service
This is a mail-in SAM / BCM cloning service for 2008–2015 Smart Fortwo 451 vehicles.
We transfer the necessary vehicle-specific data from your original SAM (Signal Acquisition Module) into a same-part-number replacement SAM that you provide.
When the cloning service is completed successfully, the replacement module is prepared as a plug-and-play replacement for your original SAM, without requiring additional programming to the vehicle.
IMPORTANT — YOUR ORIGINAL SAM MUST STILL COMMUNICATE FOR THIS SERVICE.
This standard cloning service is intended for an original SAM that can still communicate and be read using normal programming methods.
If your original SAM has no communication, is burnt, severely damaged, or cannot be read normally, please use our Smart Fortwo SAM No Communication Clone & Data Recovery Service.
YOU MUST SEND BOTH THE ORIGINAL AND REPLACEMENT SAM MODULE.
THE REPLACEMENT MODULE MUST HAVE THE SAME PART NUMBER AS THE ORIGINAL.
A REPLACEMENT MODULE IS NOT INCLUDED WITH THIS SERVICE.
WHAT THIS SERVICE DOES
The SAM is an important electrical control module in the Smart Fortwo 451 and contains vehicle-specific programming that must be transferred when installing a used replacement module.
We clone the necessary data from your original SAM into your replacement module so the replacement retains the required information from the original vehicle.
This allows a compatible used SAM to be installed as a plug-and-play replacement.

General FAQ
See All
What is immo off or immobilizer delete, and will it work for my VW or Audi?
Immobilizer delete (immo off) bypasses the immobilizer in the engine control unit (ECU) of VW and Audi vehicles. It’s used when the vehicle starts but immediately shuts down due to a fault in the immobilizer system, often with fault codes P1570 or P0513. Immo off services will not work if the vehicle does not start at all; it must start and then be shut down due to the immobilizer.
What is module cloning, and do part numbers need to match?
Module cloning involves copying all the data from one module to another, allowing the replacement to function just like the original. While it's generally recommended to match part numbers for compatibility, the necessity can vary by module. Some require exact matches, while others are more flexible and allow cloning between different part numbers. Each product listing on our website specifies the part number requirements. If you're unsure, feel free to reach out for guidance.
Do you have to open the module cases?
We only open module cases when absolutely necessary. For services that don’t require opening, we won’t open the module. However, depending on how badly damaged your original ECU is, sometimes opening the module is the only way to retrieve data. Additionally, some services don’t have a plug-in method at all and require direct access to the board, including soldering or chip replacement. The need to open modules is not specific to us but is sometimes essential depending on the condition of the ECU.
What are the shipping procedures and turn around times?
After purchasing, you will receive an email with shipping instructions. You are responsible for shipping your modules to us, and we will cover the return shipping. You can use any shipping service that is convenient for you. We typically use UPS Ground (3-5 days) for return shipping, but in some cases, we may use USPS or FedEx. Once we receive your package (shipping times depend on how quickly you ship it and the service used), we typically ship it back the next business day. Some services may require a 2-day handling time, depending on the complexity.
For detailed shipping times to and from your location, check out our shipping speed map.
What is the warranty?
We offer a 90-day warranty on programming only. This covers the accuracy of the programming performed, but does not extend to the module hardware itself.
