BCM swap/interchange?
Question:
Can I swap a BCM from a 2004 Z06 into my 2004 base M6 coupe?
Reason:
I have not been able to locate a local dealership that is willing to turn off the TPM code in the BCM (even though the sensor are already removed and I'm running non-runflats). So my next thought is to get a BCM from a 2004 Z06 (ie: not programmed for TPM from factory) and swap that in.

It might be less expensive to find some one local with a Tech2 who will turn it off for a few $. If you get a new BCM, you have to find someone with a Tech2 to program your VIN into it anyway.

I'd be more than happy to purchase a Tech2 clone if I knew it would be able to access the functions.

Out of curiosity, did you follow the instructions online? As I recall, it was not straightforward getting to the TPMS menu. If it can access up to year 2004, it should be able to change C5 BCM settings.
I bought mine from DHGate. https://www.dhgate.com/product/top-r...se1%7C20171208
Currently have a $40 DHGate coupon I'm trying to figure out what to use on, it might be account specific though.

MDI requires a subscription to use if I recall correctly.
