What is ECU cloning and why you may need it?

Modern vehicles usually have they ECU and BCM programmed with locked VIN and immo data, which preventing use of second-hand modules as replacement. In other words, car manufactures restrict you to use only brand-new modules for repairs. ECU cloning allows to bypass those restrictions by reading locked data from original unit, using special tools and transfer it to the donor unit, creating plug-and-play replacement ECU. 

What are conditions for successful cloning? 

1) Data in original ECU should be not damaged.  2) Original and donor ECUs should have EXACTLY SAME part number and software number. 3) Original ECU shouldn't be chip tunned. 

If parts numbers on original and donor ECUs are different, cloning still may be possible, but will require additional programming/coding when cloned unit installed in the vehicle. Other ways it can cause loose of vehicle performance and create trouble codes warnings.
