ok i have fitted the replacement BCM, not touched it other than plugging SDD in to read any fault codes and I've got a ton
I presume this is because it needs to be initialised?

I really dont know.

But the last pic at the btm. VIN issues.
Maybe they cant be plug n play swapped. unless you can find a place to enter/change the VIN.
Or risk clearing them and see what happens🤔, maybe not the best thing to do ATM.

I did post that link to cloning them so maybe it has some merit.

not sure if i should be going through the sequence to add a new BCM (already tried this on the old one) not sure if that will fix the VIN

When you "add new" on the old 1 what options did you have?
Can you change a VIN already in the module? (jury still out on that1 )

Maybe have a good look around to see what you can/cant do first, cos as you say at least its said "hello" :).

Will it let you add keys?

i do have a backup of the CCF on my laptop (auto suggest seemed that i meant cockup not backup.. perhaps it knows something i dont!!)
you asked about keys.. i didnt try anything yet

As I have said I dont know.

You need to look around without changing anything so you dont end up with 2 small bricks and 1 large 1.

ok i've read elsewhere that no, SDD cannot replace the VIN. so it sounds like i need to send both BCMs off to someone who can clone them. thats doable, but not with SDD or anything else i have
 
i have an update, replaced the rf receiver in the roof and both keys are now "seen" inside the car, go through programming them and SDD announces both keys programmed successfully, the next step is verification, SDD asks if the ignition is on, 'key not found' still on the dash and verification fails.
Am i simply doing something wrong?

Fixed!! I had to go through the immobile routine and everything came to life!! Job done!!
