Mercedes-Benz W164 X164 SAM Module Cloning Programming Service
This service is for customers who need to replace a faulty SAM (Signal Acquisition Module) on a Mercedes-Benz W164 ML-Class or X164 GL-Class. You provide both your original SAM and a replacement SAM, and we transfer the necessary vehicle-specific information from the original module to the replacement you provide.
The replacement SAM is then returned to you ready for installation.
How It Works:
- Send us your original SAM module and a replacement SAM with the same part number.
- We transfer the necessary vehicle-specific data from your original SAM to the replacement module you provide.
- We return both modules to you with the replacement prepared for installation.
Depending on the specific SAM version, the cloning process may require additional work or opening the modules to complete the service. If the modules need to be opened, this may affect any existing warranty on the parts.
Supported Vehicles:
- Mercedes-Benz W164 ML-Class: 2005–2011
- Mercedes-Benz X164 GL-Class: 2006–2012
Important:
- You must provide both the original and replacement SAM modules.
- The original and replacement SAM modules must have matching part numbers.
- This service does not include supplying a replacement SAM module.
- This service is for cloning/programming the replacement module you provide and does not repair the original SAM.
- Modules may need to be opened to complete the cloning process.
Shipping Instructions:
- Securely package both SAM modules.
- Include your name, return address, contact information, and order number.
- Both modules will be returned after the cloning process is complete.

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.
