Mailorder BCM programming
Anybody have the capability to program a BCM on the bench?
I don't want to flatbed my car to a dealership for this unless I absolutely have to.

Bcm Programming.....
I have many vettes here and if you sent it to me It could be installed in another car and programmed by RPO code....but, I think the only way to make it work would be to send the pcm as well and have the anti theft system disabled.
The best idea is a dealer or a repair shop with a Tech II or someone with an EFI live cable to do a vats re-learn....
I could try..but, I'm not sure if it would work....All these computers talk....They are like old wives.... If there's a mis-communication...There's gonna be trouble.
Call me if you like.

Hey man.... I'm not sure, but...I'd be willing to try......I know I can program it.....I'm not sure however if it would work.....When Programmed, it mates itself to the pcm by vin and your anti-theft system may not permit the vehicle to start.....

Thats probably the smart thing to do anyways since I also installed a new SDM and PCM and none of these are recognizing each other right now.
I was hoping to have the car running before I started my body work though.

Yeah, looks that way.....
Thanks, I'm leaning towards a flat bed to the dealership.

That sounds like the best idea...I I could get to you with my tech II or efi live I could probably fix it, but....I too think the dealer is a better choice..
