Airbag Cloning Needed ASAP - MOT due soon

Youdey · Post by **Youdey** » Sun Jan 28, 2024 1:42 am

I have had my car in the garage since the 10th for the Airbag light. The garage was supposed to try to fix it by transferring the VIN Number to a second-hand unit I had (both the same Part No) however, they have not been successful & have tried other companies to see if they can do it but apparently none have the correct processor to do it. They said that I either need someone with an MCU Processor or who can clone Airbags.

Does anyone know any companies that might be able to do this?

This company may be worth talking to https://ecuconnection.co.uk/product-cat ... r-make=bmw

I assume you mean a control module not an actual airbag?
Where are you?
There are a few of us on here who can do this though it may mean you have to travel or cover fuel costs.
Post up your location and we’ll see who is closest,

I did have a go at sorting this last year for Youdy but couldn't get the module to code with his Vin number. Since then I have got a new Launch scanner coding Tablet which might be worth a go. Otherwise there is a company that repairs these here https://motortronics.co.uk/product/z4-airbag/

Hi All,
Thanks for all the responses. I'm going to chase the garage up tomorrow about whether they have found anyone who can do anything.

I will have to contact ECUconnection as they only display for a Part Number that Superseded (but exchangeable) my current module. The module I have is Part Number 65776935920 & ECUconnection only show that they can work on Part Number 65776939811.
I will also contact motortronics to see if they can do anything.

Hi Colb, would there be any chance that we could have a look at trying that at some point if the garage can't sort it?
