USED CEM, can I reprogram it with VIDA for FOB?
 

I have a bad CEM and want to replace it. If I grab one from the junkyard, can I reprogram it with VIDA to work with my FOB? Thanks

No CEMs are a one car module. Once it is programmes to a car it cannot be programmed into another car

Please please PLEASE correct your reply
 

from 2004 - not sure 09? You can replace any module with a used one...

Only stipulations are:
You get one that has the same part number
or equivalent working part number that you can get from the dealership on the website
Here is an example of how to to look it up...

Below the part is a link "what this fits" It it will give you year make and model it came in ( call the you pull it place near you and ask if they have any of those cars)

In my case I pulled one from an 03 XC90

Btw you can use Vida to clone your stuff also... (with dice) Which I now have, it cost around the same kind money ...

you can also have your old CEM rebuilt by XEMODEX
