We stock various BMW & Mini ECU's, if we don't have your unit available we offer a cloning service if you can supply a donor unit - all you have to do is simply send us your original & donor units, prices to clone an ECU or Immobiliser starts at £50+vat.

BMW Airbag Crash data removal / Occupancy sensor delete

We can remove crash data from most airbag control units fitted to BMW vehicles. Crash data needs to be removed from SRS control units after a car has had collision and a safety feature has been activated such as seat belt pre-tensioners, airbags, fuel cut-off systems etc. This usually appears as the airbag warning light being illuminated and fails to extinguish when garages try to clear fault codes with a standard diagnostic scanner. Simply remove your airbag control unit, bring it to us for stripping and re-programming and usually it will be ready for collection within 24 hours, Prices start from £40+vat
A common fault with BMW Airbag systems is the airbag fault warning light illuminating due to a faulty 'Passenger occupancy sensor' We are able to code the sensor out of the airbag system in most cases - we also supply & fit 'Emulators' when this is not possible!
