Dear Colleagues
I,m about to reprogramme a emplacement BCM-Body Control Unit on the following:
Vauxhall 2013 (GM-Europe), Model: Insignia, 2.0 Liter Diesel.
The original BCM was damaged due to water intrusion and I have the following constrains:
1) I can,t communicate with the BCM; was able to do with the ABS and Elect Power Steering.
2) I'm waiting the Vauxhall server/ Web site to send me the Unique vehicle security code.
3) I will use a second hand replacement BCM.
Has any colleague come across using the official GM server/ Web site (not an off line stored data) to reprogramme a BCM of somehow similar age; This one got the CAN gateway, so this BCM is the main network hub.
I know there are good degree of similarities between GM north America and that of Europe (and off course there are other differences). I have a rough understanding to select; Replace and program ECU in the SPS ; Service programming system.
The main concern is:
Can this work with a second hand BCM having a data related to the donor vehicle?

Totally agree with juergen. Used Global A modules can be an expensive roll of the dice. :silly: Sometimes it works, sometimes you end up bricking other modules.
If this is a customers car, I'd recommending using a new module only.
