FAQ (Direct, No-Nonsense)

• Q: How do I confirm my BMW uses a specific ECU family (MSD80, MSV90, etc.)?
  A: Provide the ECU part number or vehicle VIN. We cross-reference against OEM documentation and hardware codes to confirm compatibility before cloning.

• Q: Will cloning void OEM warranty or violate BMW policies?
  A: We clone existing calibration and VIN data transparently without altering identifiers. Clients should review BMW warranty terms; our process follows industry best practices to minimize compliance risks.

• Q: What if my ECU is damaged or non-communicative?
  A: Initial diagnostics assess data recoverability. If partial recovery is feasible, we proceed; otherwise, recommend OEM reprogramming or alternative strategies.

• Q: Can you tune or modify calibration?
  A: We clone your existing calibration. For custom tunes, coordinate with your tuning partner: once they supply updated calibration files, we clone to a fresh ECU via the same secure workflow.

• Q: Do you support ECU variants beyond listed models?
  A: Yes. Provide ECU hardware codes or VIN-level details; our technical team will verify compatibility or recommend alternative ECU families if needed.
