2009 4.6 Engine Control Module Needs Replaced at 125K ?

[Dano]

I and not much of a fan of Genesis products. It took 7 full days to declare I need a new ECM. Has anyone experienced this? Its a total loss of value of the car. It's not a Mercedes or of Lexus quality if this is the case. If I was to order a used one who would install it? The new one $1700 installed is only guaranteed for a year. This is a highly undependable car and a risk to replace. Do they have to reprogram the module? Any other Genesis 2009 4.6 owners out there?

If it helps at all the ECM is easy to replace. $1700 seems steep for a new ECM, you could check out BTR since when you buy a tune it comes on a new ECM and is $950. So you'd end up with a new ECM and a performance tune for almost half the price of the new one you are looking into

What is BTR ? Who would install it. This is not my gig to install. if it doesn't run after I install then what? Time is money. if i was not my daily driver then i would have options.

If you can change a battery you can change an ECU.

You could possibly purchase a salvage yard ecu to use.

Worst case scenario you'd need to have the VIN and mileage added to the new ECU by someone if you don't go with a BTR.

Just checked and there is a specific PCM DTC code for mismatched VIN.
