What you need to know (please read before ordering)

This is a Program Transfer Service of your original module to a good unit you’ve supplied. You will need to source out a good used matching unit, then send them both in here for the service. Only the good unit will be shipped back to you. The original module is recycled here at our facility.

To ensure a matching unit, match up the module’s Hardware Part Number. See the pictures for an example.

The order will be processed during our regular business hours (Mon-Fri 8:30 – 5:00 EST). After processing your order, we will email shipping labels and shipping instructions. If you don’t see shipping labels within 1 hour of submitting your order (during business hours) please first check your junk/spam folders. If you still don’t see the labels, please contact us at 1-888-712-2525

Features:
Plug & Play: The programming from the original unit is moved over to the good used unit one for one, which means the module sent back to you is plug and play. No software reload or calibration is required.*

Quick Turnaround: Your module will be tested, transferred to the good unit, tested again, and then the good unit is sent back to you in the same day (unless otherwise noted).

Quality Tested: All our ECMs undergo rigorous tests on our specialized custom built CAN-bus driven test bed. Functions, DTCs, and software are checked and verified for proper operation.*

2 Year Limited Warranty on the Software Transfer: This module comes with our 2 Year Limited Warranty on the Software Transfer. Please see here for more information.

*Please note in some very rare cases of software corruption there may be need for a software reload. We see this in less than 1 percent of all modules sent in.

*Please note that since this is an Engine Control Module some functions can only be tested when installed in the vehicle with a working engine, meaning testing is limited outside of the vehicle. If you’re in doubt of whether or not your ECM is faulty, please consult with a BMW specialist or contact our tech support by submitting a Technical Question Form here. https://xemodex.ca/ca/technical-question-form/

FAQ

The scrap yard doesn’t have my module’s part number in stock, but they carry a similar module with a different part number. Can I send you that one?
No. The software in your module is hardware specific. The good used module must have a matching part number, or else we cannot perform this service.

Why don’t you send my original module back to me?
In order to extract the software, we have to do some hardware modifications to your original module. This process is irreversible and damages the module permanently. Your unit will be recycled at our facility.

Why is there no Lifetime Warranty on the hardware for Program Transfers to Customer Supplied units?
We offer a Warranty on the Software only. We also test your used module before and after the transfer to make sure it is fully operational. Since it is a used part that you purchased elsewhere and we did not repair or recondition it, we do not extend the warranty to the hardware. Check with your scrap yard for their warranty terms on your module.

How long does it take for you to transfer my module?
We have same day turnaround. This means that this service will be performed and the module shipped back out the same day we receive it.
