This service is designed to clone the immobilizer data from your Volkswagen TDI diesel vehicle’s Engine Control Module (ECM), specifically for Bosch EDC17-style ECUs. We transfer your vehicle’s immobilizer security data into a replacement ECM that you provide, allowing for a plug-and-play installation.

Important Notes
-
If your ECM does not have OBD communication, or is unresponsive, cloning may not be possible. In such cases, we recommend our VW TDI Diesel Immobilizer Delete Service.
-
This service does not modify your vehicle’s alarm or other systems; it only transfers immobilizer and VIN data.
FAQ
Will this work if my ECM isn’t communicating via OBD?
No. Functional OBD communication is required for cloning. For non-communicating ECUs, consider our Immobilizer Delete Service.
Do the original and replacement ECMs need to match?
Yes. Both must have identical part numbers for the cloning process to succeed.
Can you correct my VIN during this service?
Yes. VIN correction is available upon request.
How long does this service take?
Typically, the cloning process is completed within 3–5 business days after we receive your modules.
What if my vehicle isn’t listed?
Contact us with your ECM part number and vehicle details. We can confirm compatibility before you ship your ECM.
