▸ TRADE SERVICE

Module cloning
& virginizing.

Spot-On performs bench-level module cloning and virginizing for trade partners across the San Antonio metro on-site, plus mail-in service nationwide US and Canada. Cloning transfers VIN, mileage, immobilizer data, and calibration from a failed module onto a donor; virginizing resets a used module to factory-virgin state so it can be re-coded to a new vehicle. NASTF VSP credentialed for security-gated procedures.

▸ WHAT WE CLONE

Cloning, by platform.

When a module fails and a like-for-like replacement can be sourced, cloning is often faster and cheaper than new + full programming.

  • BMW DME (MSV80, MSD80/81/87, MEVD17.x)Full data transfer with ISN alignment. Boot-mode read via Mini ACDP.
  • Mercedes 722.9 TCMUnlock + clone for transmission control replacements. Includes TRP-component cloning.
  • VAG component-protected modulesCP-2/CP-3 protected modules cloned with component-protection adaptation handled.
  • Domestic PCMs (Hyundai/Kia, GM legacy)Boot-mode reads for cloning when OBD-path programming is not supported.
▸ WHAT WE VIRGINIZE

Resetting used modules for re-use.

A used module from another vehicle can’t simply be installed and coded — it needs to be virginized first. Some platforms tolerate this, others require new.

  • Used BMW modulesCAS, FRM, FEM, BCM virginizing for swap into another VIN.
  • Used Mercedes modulesTCM and select control unit virginizing where supported.
  • Used VAG modulesComponent-protection adaptation and SFD authentication for 2020+ platforms.
  • Used ECMs/PCMsWhere supported by the platform — we'll tell you per-platform whether virginizing is viable or new is required.
