This service is designed for Audi vehicles equipped with the Electronic Steering Lock (ELV / J764 module). If your Audi will not start and displays “Steering Defective”, immobilizer faults, or steering lock errors, this cloning service provides a reliable and cost-effective alternative to expensive dealer replacement.
We clone all immobilizer, VIN, key, and configuration data from your original ELV module into a donor unit that you provide, restoring full functionality without additional dealership programming.

FAQ
What symptoms does this service fix?
“No start,” “Steering Defective,” immobilizer faults, and steering lock-related errors caused by a failed ELV module.
Will this require dealer programming?
No. The cloned ELV is plug-and-play.
Can I use a used donor ELV?
Yes, as long as the part number and hardware version match.
Will this fix BCM2 faults?
If BCM2 faults are caused by a failed ELV, cloning typically resolves them. If BCM2 itself is faulty, a separate service may be required.
Not sure if your ELV is compatible?
Send us your VIN or a clear photo of the ELV module label, and we’ll verify compatibility before you ship.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out — we’re happy to help.
