GM BCM VIN Correction Service | 2005–2013 Corvette, Cobalt, HHR, Pontiac, Saturn & Cadillac
BCM VIN Correction Service for 2005–2013 Chevrolet Corvette, Cadillac XLR, Chevrolet Cobalt, HHR, Pontiac & Saturn
Our BCM VIN Correction Service programs your vehicle's correct 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) into a replacement Body Control Module (BCM). This mail-in service is intended for situations where the original BCM has been lost, is physically damaged beyond repair, or cannot be cloned.
Writing the correct VIN into the BCM's internal memory prepares the module for on-vehicle programming. After you receive the BCM back, it must still be programmed and configured to the vehicle using a GM Tech 2, GM MDI, SPS, or equivalent professional programming equipment.
When is this service needed?
This service is commonly used when installing a used replacement BCM and the original module is unavailable for cloning. Programming the correct VIN into the BCM allows the module to proceed through the remaining vehicle programming procedures.
If your original BCM is still available, we strongly recommend our BCM Cloning Service instead. Cloning transfers the VIN and vehicle-specific data from your original module to the replacement module, making it the preferred solution whenever possible.
What's Included
- Programming your vehicle's correct 17-digit VIN into the BCM's memory.
- Verification that the VIN has been successfully written.
- Fast professional mail-in service.
Requirements
- Your replacement Body Control Module (BCM).
- Your vehicle's complete 17-digit VIN.

Important Information
This service only programs the VIN into the BCM. Additional on-vehicle programming is still required after installation. Depending on the vehicle, this may include BCM setup, theft deterrent (PassKey/Passlock) procedures, option configuration, and other programming functions performed with GM factory or equivalent diagnostic equipment.
Need BCM Cloning Instead?
If your original BCM is still available, even if it is malfunctioning, cloning is typically the best solution.

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.
