$200.00
Introduction to BCM Clone Service
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a pivotal component in modern vehicles, particularly in Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep models. Acting as the central hub for various electronic systems, the BCM manages and controls numerous functions such as lighting, climate control, and security systems. Its role ensures that these systems operate seamlessly in unison, contributing significantly to the vehicle’s overall performance and safety.
Over time, the BCM can encounter issues due to wear and tear, software glitches, or physical damage. When problems arise, the vehicle may exhibit erratic behavior, such as malfunctioning lights, unresponsive electronic controls, or security breaches. In such scenarios, a BCM clone service becomes essential. This service involves copying the data from the existing, often malfunctioning BCM, to a new or refurbished module. By cloning the BCM, the new unit retains all the original settings, configurations, and vehicle-specific information, ensuring a smooth transition without the need for extensive reprogramming.
Enlisting a professional service like Karman Auto for BCM cloning offers multiple benefits. Firstly, it guarantees accuracy and precision in the cloning process, ensuring that all original data is transferred correctly. Professionals use advanced tools and techniques to duplicate the BCM’s data, reducing the risk of errors and ensuring compatibility with the vehicle’s systems.
Steps to Prepare for BCM Cloning
Before initiating the Body Control Module (BCM) cloning process for your Dodge vehicle, it is crucial to undertake several preparatory steps to ensure a seamless experience. Proper preparation not only guarantees a successful clone but also helps in avoiding unnecessary delays and complications.
First and foremost, you need to gather the original BCM from your Dodge vehicle. This component contains critical data specific to your vehicle, such as the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), current mileage, and key codes. Carefully removing the original BCM without causing any damage is essential, as this will be the source module for the cloning process.
Next, acquiring a donor BCM with the identical part number as your original is imperative. The donor BCM must match the original in terms of part number and specifications to ensure compatibility. Failure to use a compatible donor BCM can lead to operational issues and potential incompatibility with the vehicle’s systems.
Additionally, it is advisable to label the BCMs clearly to avoid any mix-up. Using tags or markers to identify the original and donor BCMs can help streamline the process, ensuring that the correct data is transferred from the original BCM to the donor BCM.
By following these preparatory steps diligently, you can facilitate a smooth and efficient BCM cloning process for your Dodge vehicle. Proper preparation ensures that the cloned BCM functions correctly, maintaining the integrity and performance of your vehicle’s electronic systems.

What to Expect During the Cloning Process
At Karman Auto, the cloning of a Dodge Body Control Module (BCM) is conducted with meticulous precision to ensure optimal functionality and performance. The process begins by extracting critical information from the original BCM, including the keys, Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), and specific coding data. This information is essential for the donor BCM to seamlessly replace the original module without any operational discrepancies.
The initial step involves a thorough diagnostic assessment of the original BCM to verify its integrity and functionality. The team uses specialized diagnostic tools to read and capture the data. This step is crucial as it ensures that all necessary information is accurately retrieved from the original BCM. The captured data includes the electronic keys which are essential for the vehicle’s security system, the VIN which uniquely identifies the vehicle, and the coding that dictates the various functionalities and settings of the BCM.
Once the data is successfully extracted, the team at Karman Auto proceeds to the cloning phase. During this phase, the donor BCM is prepared to receive the extracted information. Using advanced programming tools, the data from the original BCM is carefully transferred to the donor BCM. This process demands high precision as any errors in data transfer could lead to malfunctions or incompatibility issues in the vehicle’s electronic systems.
Precision and accuracy are paramount throughout the cloning process. The team at Karman Auto ensures that every step is conducted with due diligence to maintain the integrity of the data and the functionality of the BCM. The final phase involves a series of tests to verify that the cloned BCM operates seamlessly within the vehicle’s electronic network. These tests ensure that the donor BCM performs identically to the original module, thereby providing a reliable and efficient solution for the vehicle’s needs.
Programming Miles and VIN
The process of programming the mileage and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) during the Body Control Module (BCM) cloning procedure is crucial for ensuring the functionality and accuracy of the replacement module. Karman Auto utilizes advanced techniques and specialized equipment to ensure that both the mileage and VIN are correctly transferred to the donor BCM. This precision is essential for maintaining the integrity and legality of the vehicle’s data records.
When it comes to programming the mileage, Karman Auto employs a meticulous approach to ensure that the mileage displayed on the dashboard matches the desired figure. This process involves reading the original BCM’s data and accurately writing it into the donor BCM. It is critical that the mileage data is transferred without any discrepancies to avoid potential legal issues or inconsistencies in the vehicle’s maintenance records. Karman Auto’s technicians are highly trained to handle these delicate operations, guaranteeing that the mileage is cloned precisely.
Transferring the VIN is another vital aspect of the BCM cloning service. The VIN is a unique identifier for the vehicle, and ensuring its accurate transfer is necessary for compliance with regulatory standards and for the proper functioning of various vehicle systems. Karman Auto’s cloning process involves extracting the VIN from the original BCM and programming it into the donor BCM. This step ensures that all systems reliant on the VIN, such as security and diagnostic systems, operate correctly.
By employing state-of-the-art technology and following rigorous protocols, Karman Auto ensures that both the mileage and VIN are programmed accurately during the BCM cloning process. This meticulous attention to detail helps maintain the vehicle’s authenticity and functionality, providing peace of mind to vehicle owners and ensuring seamless integration of the donor BCM into the vehicle’s existing systems.
Mileage Correction in a Replacement BCM
For customers who have already replaced their Body Control Module (BCM) and had it programmed by a dealer, mileage correction is a critical service that ensures the odometer reflects accurate driving history. At Karman Auto, we specialize in providing mileage correction services for Dodge vehicles, making the transition to a new BCM seamless and accurate.
To begin the mileage correction process, customers need to provide specific information and components. First, the original BCM must be supplied. This is essential because it contains the current mileage data that is crucial for accurate correction. Alongside the original BCM, customers should also provide the current mileage displayed on the dashboard. This step helps our technicians verify the existing data and ensures consistency.
Additionally, customers must indicate the desired mileage they wish to be displayed on the replacement BCM. This information is vital for our experts to program the new BCM accurately, ensuring that the vehicle’s odometer reflects the true mileage. It is important to note that providing precise and truthful mileage details is mandatory, as any discrepancies can lead to legal and functional issues.
