Replacement ECU data
ECU Cloning Derby
ECU cloning and compatible data transfer for supported control units. Send the registration and ECU part numbers or photos so compatibility can be checked first.
Replacement ECU support
Transfer compatible data to a replacement ECU.
ECU cloning is used where compatible data from an original control unit can be transferred to a suitable replacement. What can be copied and how it must be accessed depends on the ECU family, hardware, software and condition of the original unit.
We can assess supported ECUs using OBD, bench or boot methods where appropriate. A read or backup may be taken before data is written to the replacement unit.

ECU cloning FAQ
Useful to know first.
Can every ECU be cloned?
No. Compatibility and available data vary by ECU type and condition. We need to identify both units before confirming what is possible.
Can I supply a used replacement ECU?
Often that is the starting point, but the replacement must be suitable for the application. Send part numbers or clear ECU label photos before buying where possible.
What if the original ECU cannot communicate?
Some non-communicating units may still allow direct access, while others may not. The unit needs to be assessed case by case.
Check compatibility

Registration plus ECU part numbers or photos will help us check the job before you travel or buy a replacement.
