ECU cloning transfers all critical immobiliser and configuration data from your original ECU into a compatible replacement ECU.
This includes:

- Security synchronisation data
Successful cloning allows the replacement ECU to operate as a plug-and-play unit in most cases.

ECU programming updates or configures software inside the ECU to match the vehicle specification.
This may include:
