• Ignition will not switch on
• Key/start authorization problems

• No response when attempting to start the vehicle
• Intermittent electrical or ignition operation
• J518 communication faults
• Module stops communicating with diagnostic equipment

Replacement J518 is not included with this listing.

Proof of Ownership Required

Documentation must correspond with the vehicle being serviced.

Important — Please Read Before Ordering

This listing is for a mail-in J518 cloning service only.

Compatibility depends on the exact module, processor, hardware/software configuration, part number, and vehicle application. A replacement module that looks identical is not necessarily compatible.

If you're unsure about compatibility, contact us before ordering with:

We'll help verify compatibility before you ship your modules.
