This guide demonstrates how to clone a Vauxhall/Opel GM BCM (Body
Control Module) with part number 13589056 using OBDSTAR
DC706, including immobilizer data transfer and
PIN code extraction. This process is essential when replacing a
faulty BCM while retaining original vehicle security data.
Tools Required
- OBDStar DC706 (or X300 Classic G3)
- P004 adapter
- 12V power supply (for bench testing)
- Replacement BCM (same part number)
Step 1: Prepare the BCMs
Identify Modules:
- Locate the original (donor) BCM and the new replacement BCM
(ensure part numbers match).
- Verify both are Continental-branded modules (common for
GM/Opel).
Pinout Setup:
Select GM BCM Continental 70F3469 +95160 option.
- Refer to the wiring diagram for correct connections:
- Pin 1: Ground (GND)
- Pins 4 & 5: 12V Power
- Pins 23 & 24: CAN Low/ CAN High

Step 2: Read Data from the Original BCM
Power Up:
- Connect the original BCM to the OBDStar DC706 tool using the wiring harness.
- Apply 12V power to Pins 4/5 and ground to Pin
1.

Extract Data:
- Open the OBDStar software, navigate to GM > Body
Control.
- Select "Read EEPROM" and save eeprom data.
- Select "Read Flash" to back up the flash data.
- Retrieve the PIN code (e.g., 0427 in this case) and note it
down.



Step 3: Write Data to the New BCM
Switch Modules:
- Disconnect the original BCM and connect the new BCM using
the same wiring.
Transfer Data:
- In OBDStar, select "Write EEPROM" and load the saved backup
file.
- Select "Write Flash" to transfer the firmware.
- Note: Skip backup for brand-new modules (no existing data to
preserve).

Verify PIN Code:
- Read the PIN code from the new BCM to confirm it matches the
original
Step 4: Final Checks
- Disconnect all wiring and power.
- Test the cloned BCM in the vehicle:
- Ensure the immobilizer recognizes the keys.
- Check for fault codes (clear if necessary).
Done.
