NOTE:

Do not exchange Telematics Control Modules between vehicles! Each Telematics Control Module has its own coding and an Electronic Serial Number (ESN) unique to the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of a vehicle. Based on these data, the vehicle is identified by the Telematics call center and allocated to the respective customer account.
