The part-number prefix is the family-level part of the label (for example 06J 906 026 CK). A donor must match the full number, which we confirm against your VIN for free before you buy.
Clone the Beetle ECU — $350 flat
Mail your original and a donor with the same full part number. VIN, immobilizer data, coding and adaptations are copied across on the bench, typically within 24 hours of arrival. Factory immobilizer stays on.
Volkswagen engine ECU cloneOn-car software step — remote ODIS, $250
Some cars still want an on-car step after a module swap: a software version management (SVM) update, coding, or a basic-settings adaptation. Plug a J2534 pass-thru interface into the car and we run the factory ODIS software on it from our bench — no dealer visit. The same session covers coding after any other VW or Audi module replacement.

Which engine ECU does a 2012–2019 Beetle have?
It depends on the engine. The 2.5 five-cylinder (2012–2014) (CBTA, CBUA) runs Bosch ME17.5.6, part-number prefix 07K 906 055. The 2.0 TSI Turbo (2012–2013) (CCTA, CBFA) runs Bosch MED17.5, part-number prefix 06J 906 026. The 1.8 TSI (2014–2019) (CPKA, CPRA) runs Bosch MED17.5.25, part-number prefix 06K 907 425. The 2.0 TSI Turbo / R-Line (2014–2019) (CPLA, CPPA) runs Bosch MED17.5.25, part-number prefix 06K 907 425. The 2.0 TDI (2013–2014) (CJAA) runs Bosch EDC17CP14, part-number prefix 03L 906 022. The 2.0 TDI EA288 (2015) (CVCA) runs Bosch EDC17C64, part-number prefix 04L 906 016 or 04L 907 309. The label on your module settles it in seconds.
Can you clone the ECU on a Beetle A5 (coupe + convertible)?
Yes — every engine ECU on this generation is a routine bench clone. Mail your original and a donor with the same full part number and we copy the VIN, immobilizer data, coding and adaptations across for $350 flat, typically within 24 hours of arrival.
Will a cloned Beetle ECU need dealer adaptation?
Usually not — it leaves the bench carrying your VIN, immobilizer data, coding and adaptations. If the car still asks for an on-car step, we run it remotely with ODIS over your J2534 interface for $250.
