TEST
Initial Bench Assessment
£49 Testing
Module identification, visual inspection, controlled power-up and initial bench communication checks where supported.
£49 testing feeProfessional Body Control Module testing, programming and cloning from Prestige Performance Group in Newtownards. Initial BCM testing costs £49. Where the original module data remains accessible and a suitable replacement is available, supported BCM, BSI and related body-module data may be transferred to the replacement unit. Cloning services start from £199.
Module identification, visual inspection, controlled power-up and initial bench communication checks where supported.
£49 testing feeSupported BCM, BSI and body-module cloning where the source data can be read and the donor module is suitable.
From £199 inc VATDo not buy or post a donor module until PPG has checked the original and replacement labels.
Body modules can fail for different reasons, so the first job is to identify the fault path before quoting repair or cloning work.
A replacement module may still require configuration, coding, adaptations, fault clearing or vehicle-side electrical diagnosis after cloning. Plug-and-play only applies where a complete supported clone can be produced and the vehicle accepts the replacement module.
Support is vehicle and module specific. These examples are shown cautiously and must be confirmed from clear label photographs before work starts.
These symptoms may point toward body-control issues, wiring problems, water ingress, coding faults or other vehicle-side faults. Testing is required before any conclusion is made.
The process is designed to prevent unpaid bench work and avoid customers buying incompatible modules.
Complete the £49 ECU or BCM testing request and upload clear module-label photographs.
PPG carries out the initial visual, power-up and communication checks where supported.
We explain whether testing, repair, cloning, recovery or coding is the sensible route.
No repair, cloning, data recovery or extra work starts until the separate quotation is accepted.
Initial testing is paid upfront. Repair, cloning, recovery, donor modules, coding and delivery are quoted separately where required.
The £49 fee must not automatically be deducted from the repair or cloning price. Final pricing depends on the module type, original-unit condition, donor compatibility, programming method and whether additional data recovery or vehicle-side work is required.
PPG supports both Newtownards workshop drop-off and postal module assessment where the request is suitable.
BCM faults often overlap with diagnostics, ECU cloning, postal module work and trade support.
Useful next steps: ECU cloning and repair, postal ECU remapping, vehicle diagnostics, airbag crash-data reset, trade support and contact PPG.
Local module support routes: Newtownards, Bangor, Comber, Dundonald, Holywood, Belfast and wider Northern Ireland.
Quick answers before posting a Body Control Module.
No. Support depends on the exact module family, part number, hardware, software, donor match and whether the original module data can still be read.
In most cases, yes. The original module and compatible replacement module are usually required for assessment and data transfer. Send clear label photos before buying a donor.
The £49 testing fee still applies because it covers the initial bench assessment only. We will advise whether repair, cloning, recovery or return is the correct next step.
No. Plug-and-play only applies where a complete supported clone can be produced. Some vehicles still require fault clearing, adaptations, coding, calibration or other vehicle-side procedures.
Yes. Complete the paid testing request first so the job can be registered, paid and matched to the module when it arrives at the Newtownards workshop.
Register the job, pay the £49 testing fee and upload clear label photographs. PPG will assess the module before quoting any repair, cloning, recovery or coding work.
