When you flash the car, dealer tool looks at the CEM and get the current built data, it then flashes the CRM with teh required door module programming needed...there are old and new type door modules

Then your also stuck on the what model vehicle was the module programmed to..it's a different part number for V8V to DB9, but this is only becasue the brakcet comes with the module for DB9, as for the module it's self..there the same part..

So does this CRM your ordering come with old or new type door module programming, if the module is new, the vender will not be able to tell me this..cause neither can my parts guy..if the module is used, sure vender can tell you what car it came from..

It's a hit and miss with 50/50 of will it work 100% ...once you get it, plug it in and check everything..if something doesn't work, you will need to get it flashed...I've always flashed every new CRM and have had many that the windows won't even work untill flashed, window's wouldn't even move if I forced a calibration with AMDS...but I have the AMDS on hand to do what ever I require, so it's a no-brainer for me to flash the CRM module

To flash a CRM, you need a AMDS, battery charger, vehicle to flash..that's all
