I need to upgrade BCM from MID to HIGH to retrofit heated seats and I need to upgrade Gateway from MID to HIGH to have the extended CAN bus for direct TPMS.
I already have the modules and I know that I need the dealer to remove component protection once I swap them.
I know that coding/adaptations need to be "copied" from old modules to new ones.
I was wondering if the dealer would be able, once component protection is gone, to program the modules with all the parameters that my car had from the factory. Please note the HIGH modules are not new, they come from wrecked cars.
The dealer I go to is a very small shop, there is one person only working on ODIS, who is completely unaware of retrofits, and sometimes gives me the idea he also has a limited knowledge of ODIS as well.
I also remember, reading around, that the new Gateway could possibly need to be resent all the parameters and, again, it would be better if I could give as much insight as possible to the dealer.
They are willing to help, just unaware of any out-of-the-ordinary procedure.
Last thing, does anybody know if the parking aid module goes into component protection as well? I will swap that to upgrade from park pilot to park assist, I might as well carry it with the other two if needed.
Thanks.
