FEM/BDC Cloning service will require you to ship your bad original FEM BDC module WITH THE ORIGINAL KEY and a good donor FEM BDC to us to perform a copy and paste service.
2 Do not plug in a good donor until it is programmed. Plugging in before programming will jump the miles up and illuminate a red mileage discrepancy dot.
Some models of F series switched from CAS ( key security module ) to FEM and BDC keys are now stored inside FEM and BDC Module this will cause a no start after replacing a donor FEM BDC module.

What causes the FEM or BDC to go bad.
1 Programming keys or performing a software update on a FEM or BDC module with cheap scann tool or no stable voltage charger while programing.
2 Flooded ( since the FEM or BDC module is located on right side kick panel makes it very venerable to flooding )
3 Electrical short.
4 Performing a mileage correction and locking it out.
5 Bad battery or Jump starting.
