ME17.2.1
ECU Cloning

Faulty ME17.2.1? We copy everything from your original onto an identical donor unit, including the immobiliser data, so the donor plugs in and works with your existing keys. No dealer coding, no new keys, no waiting for a main-dealer part. Bench clone, read bench - boot.

Post it in — order online Book the workshop

Post both units (original + donor) with your reference, or book a slot and we remove, clone and refit at Ammanford.

How it works

  1. Find a donor. A used ME17.2.1 with the same hardware and software number as yours (the numbers above are what to search for). We can advise if you are unsure.
  2. Order online. Pay securely by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Klarna and print the packing slip.
  3. Post both units to us (or drop them in), marked which one is the original. A tracked service is best.
  4. Cloned and tested the day they arrive, then posted back tracked. Fit the donor and drive.

Good to know

Everything copied

Software, calibration and immobiliser data go across, so the donor behaves exactly like your original with your existing keys.

Original must be readable

Most failures are in the drivers or power stages while the memory is intact. If the original cannot be read at all we contact you before doing anything else.

Garages & bodyshops

Send both units mid-repair and they are back before the car is. Call 01792 732 062 for trade volumes.
