Pontiac Solstice BCM clone by Karman Auto is a precise bench-programming workflow for the 2006-2010 Pontiac Solstice. Specifically, we read your original failed module, write the data byte-for-byte onto a donor you supply, and then verify the copy before shipping both back. Moreover, your VIN, immobilizer seed, and factory trim coding are preserved exactly. However, you are responsible for sourcing a donor that carries the identical factory part number — we do not sell or swap modules.
Pontiac Solstice 2006-2010 BCM Clone Service — Overview
The Pontiac Solstice roadster and the coupe variant share the Kappa platform with the Saturn Sky but are coded differently — the Solstice coupe in particular has a unique removable roof-panel detection circuit that the BCM monitors, and the GXP variant’s LNF 2.0L turbo calibration differs subtly from the Sky Red Line because of airbox and exhaust differences.
What This Service Is (And Is Not)
This is a cloning service only. Karman Auto does not sell parts or donor modules. You ship us two BCMs: your original (failed) unit and a donor unit you have sourced with the exact same part number. We read the data from your original, write it byte-for-byte onto your donor, re-read the donor to verify the copy, and ship both modules back to you. The donor becomes a functional replacement for your original.
Common Reasons Pontiac Solstice Owners Replace This BCM
Solstice-specific BCM symptoms: roof-panel detection triggers a phantom “door ajar” on the coupe when the roof is correctly stowed, GXP variants lose their unique overboost protection handshake and throw P0234 intermittently, the DIC reverts to Chevy-style messaging after an uncloned donor, and the convertible top’s power-pull-down motor cycles incorrectly. 2006 Solstice (first-year) also has a known BCM-to-PCM cranking enable wiring issue that is BCM-internal.
Platform & Technical Notes
Platform: GM Kappa. Module supplier: Delphi. Communication: GMLAN. Security: Passlock III. Programming tool: GM SPS/TIS2Web. Solstice coupe roof-panel coding and Solstice-specific DIC message set are BCM-resident — cloning is the only way to transfer them onto a donor.
Why Pontiac Solstice Owners Come to Us
We clone the Solstice configuration (roadster vs coupe, Base vs GXP, Passlock III, VIN, odometer, Pontiac DIC coding) onto a Kappa-compatible donor.
Common Pontiac Solstice BCM Part Numbers
The BCM on the 2006-2010 Pontiac Solstice is commonly seen in the following part numbers. Your exact part number must match the donor you supply — mixing part numbers will not work even within the same platform family. Check the label on your original BCM before sourcing a donor.

This is a common-numbers reference. If your original carries a number not on this list, that is fine — the requirement is simply that your donor carries the same number as your original.
Shipping Instructions
After you complete checkout, your order receipt will include the shipping address for Karman Auto. Please follow these steps:
- Remove your failed BCM from the vehicle following the factory service information for your 2006-2010 Pontiac Solstice.
- Source a donor BCM with the exact same part number as your original. We cannot substitute part numbers.
- Mark the original module “OLD” clearly with tape, a sticker, or a permanent marker. This tells us which module to read the data from.
- Print your order receipt and enclose it in the shipping box — the receipt contains the return address we will use to ship both modules back to you.
- Pack both modules (original + donor) in anti-static bubble wrap inside a sturdy box. Ship to the address shown on your receipt.
Turnaround
Typical bench time is 24-48 hours from the moment both modules arrive at our shop. Rush service is available on request — contact us before you ship.

Warranty
1:1 Data Transfer Guarantee
Karman Auto guarantees a byte-for-byte 1:1 data transfer from your original BCM onto your supplied donor. We read the original, write the donor, and re-read the donor to verify the copy before shipping. This is the only warranty we offer. We do not warranty the donor hardware, installation, wiring, or any unrelated vehicle issue. You are responsible for sourcing a functional donor with the matching part number.
Common Pontiac Solstice (2006-2010) BCM failure symptoms
- Solstice retractable hardtop refuses to operate (motor + position sensor logic in BCM)
- Coupe-variant roof panel detection fault — BCM has separate code for hardtop vs Targa coupe
- Solstice GXP turbo variant: boost gauge and tach interaction broken
- Power windows on convertible quit (sealed power-window circuit BCM-controlled)
- Both headlight bulbs flash randomly — common Kappa-platform BCM fault
- Trunk release inoperative with top down (BCM has unique logic for this on Solstice)
- Keyless entry remote dead — Solstice fobs are paired through BCM, not stand-alone
- Daytime Running Light delay broken
- Battery drain — passive wake on 2006-2008 BCMs
- Fault codes B1325, B2960, C0306, U0140
What causes Pontiac Solstice (2006-2010) BCM module failure
Solstice was built at Wilmington Assembly Plant (Delaware) on the Kappa platform shared with Saturn Sky. BCMs are mounted in the driver-side dash and are subject to wet-weather ingress through the convertible top drain. The 2006-2008 Solstice BCMs use an early Kappa-spec board with known capacitor degradation. Solstice GXP turbo variants (2007-2010) add thermal stress. Other causes: jump-start spikes, alternator failure, accident damage in this low-slung roadster.
Pontiac Solstice (2006-2010) BCM clone — frequently asked questions
Can you clone a 2006-2010 Pontiac Solstice BCM (Body Control Module)?
Yes. Karman Auto clones every Solstice BCM from 2006 model year through the final 2010 build. We support both the standard 2.4L Ecotec (LE5) and the Solstice GXP 2.0L turbo (LNF). Both roadster and coupe body styles. 27 years of GM body module work.
Does the Solstice GXP turbo variant use the same BCM as the base Solstice?
Hardware yes, software no. Same physical BCM hardware, different coding for LNF turbo accessory operation (intercooler fan, boost gauge wiring). Clone preserves both — send your original GXP module and matching donor.
Will the retractable hardtop on Solstice convertible work after the BCM clone?
Yes. The retractable top motor + position sensors talk to the BCM. We copy the calibration exactly. After install the top opens/closes the same as before, no recalibration needed.
What about Solstice coupe — does it have different BCM coding than the roadster?
Yes. The coupe variant has a unique roof-panel detection code (BCM knows if the removable panel is in place). The physical BCM hardware is the same as roadster but software differs slightly. Clone preserves your coupe coding exactly.
How long does the Pontiac Solstice BCM clone take?
Typical bench turnaround is 24-48 hours from when we receive both modules. USPS Priority shipping back the same day. Most Solstice customers see 5-7 days door to door.
What fault codes typically indicate a failed Solstice BCM?
Common Solstice BCM codes: B1325 (BCM internal voltage), B2960 (security access), C0306 (Lost Communication with BCM), U0140, “Service Theft System” warning, and “Top Operation Inhibited” DIC message.
What causes Pontiac Solstice BCM failure?
Top cause: water damage from convertible top drain failure flooding the driver-side dash BCM mount. Solstice 2006-2008 BCMs also suffer internal capacitor degradation. Other causes: jump-start over-voltage, alternator regulator failure, and accident damage (common in this low-slung roadster).
Will the keyless entry remotes work after the Solstice BCM clone?
Yes. Solstice key fobs are paired through the BCM (not stand-alone). The pairing data is preserved in the clone so your existing remotes keep working with lock/unlock/trunk-release commands intact.
Does the Solstice convertible top sensor calibration carry over?
Yes. The hardtop position sensors (open, closed, in-transit) are calibrated to the BCM. We copy the calibration exactly. No recalibration needed after install.
Do I need a donor BCM with the exact same Solstice part number?
Yes. Solstice BCM part numbers vary by year, trim (Base/GXP), and body style (roadster/coupe). The white sticker on the BCM shows the part number — verify it matches your original before shipping.
Is the Solstice BCM the same as the Saturn Sky BCM (Kappa platform)?
Same platform yes, same part number sometimes no. Both are on the Kappa platform but Solstice and Sky use distinct part numbers in some years for trim-specific coding. Verify the part number on the white sticker before assuming interchangeability.
Can you clone a water-damaged Solstice BCM from convertible top leak?
Yes. The most common Solstice BCM failure cause is water intrusion from the convertible top drain. Even when the BCM is bricked from corrosion we can read the EEPROM at chip level. That is how we recover VIN, mileage, anti-theft, and roof-position calibration from dead Solstice BCMs.
Will the Solstice’s OnStar still work after the BCM clone (if equipped)?
Yes. OnStar (optional on Solstice 2006-2009) talks to the BCM via GMLAN. The clone preserves the VIN exactly so OnStar reactivates with the original subscription account.
Is the Pontiac Solstice BCM clone legal?
Yes. Module cloning for repair purposes is fully legal in all 50 states. We preserve VIN and mileage exactly. Karman Auto has BBB A+ accreditation for 17 years, 27 years in business since 1999.
Why choose Karman Auto over a GM dealer for Solstice BCM service?
Pontiac was discontinued in 2010 — GM dealers can’t order new Solstice BCMs anymore. Junkyard donors are now the only option, and a dealer Tech 2 reflash on a used donor BCM costs $400-$800 plus the donor cost. Karman Auto clones your donor BCM for $249 with same-day-shipping turnaround. 27 years of Pontiac/Solstice expertise.
