Do you accept mini r50/r52/r53 bcm clone modules from Tennessee?
Yes — we receive modules from Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga and the rest of Tennessee regularly. With about 5.6 million registered vehicles statewide, trucks, SUVs & imports are the bulk of what we see from Tennessee.
Is there a mini r50/r52/r53 bcm clone shop in Nashville I should use instead?
Most Nashville shops don't keep the bench equipment for mini r50/r52/r53 bcm clone — they'd forward the module to a specialist anyway, which adds a markup and a middleman. Going direct to us is usually faster and cheaper. Cross-region northeast — about 2 days each way.
Does Tennessee vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Tennessee discontinued its county emissions testing programs and has no statewide periodic safety inspection. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Tennessee and federal requirements.
My original BCM is completely dead. Can you still help?
If it will not power up or respond on the bench there is nothing to read, so a straight clone is off the table. Those jobs route to our advanced recovery service (ecu-advanced-recovery-service), where we attempt a direct memory read from the board itself. Contact us with the VIN and symptoms first and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth attempting before you spend money on shipping.
Do you supply the donor module?
No — you source the used donor from eBay, a breaker, or a parts recycler, and we verify compatibility before you commit. That keeps your cost down and keeps us honest about what will actually work. Send the listing photos and the part number alongside your original's label and we will confirm or reject the match at no charge.
