The high series one can control far more 'convenience' features in the vehicle.
What is actually controlled depends on the model, but I'll use VS as the example.
VS low BCM controls the central locking, security/immobiliser, fixed-delay intermittent |

Question has probably raised before, can you install a hi level bcm into a vs. I have been told that a hi bcm won't go with a manual ecu.
Also that a ecu must be matched to a bcm and shouldn't be seperated.
Can somebody tell me the do's and don'ts of ec

Depends on which model youre talking about, as they do vary, and its not possible to give a one size fits all answer to your question.
In VR & VS, you cannot swap a low for a high, as the looms between the 2 are very, very different, as well as a diffe |

Lets talk about a vs ute s2. It has a low bcm. If I put a high bcm some things would work and other things won't. Even the cables wouldn't connect?

Nope, it won't 'plug n play' as there are way too manu differences in the wiring.
Why do you want a hi BCM in the ute?
The only reason would be for the additional features - such as speed sensitive power steering, timed demist, variable intermittents |

You could always just get a MID BCM from a berlina (or S / SS?) which has the cruise control functionality and also other minor bits and pieces like variable intermittent wipers etc. This way you can just patch the extra wires into the origi

The "mid" BCM in a VS only manages to control the Cruise control switching, power windows time delay & driver's auto-down.
The low series can also control these (often it just doesn't have the relays inside on the circuit board).
I can't do variable int |

The reason for doing this that a company down in mount gambier in S.A sell automatic climate control for the vs as a kit for 250. Reading previous forms and street commodores this is a god price. I am trying to do as much research on this first before i g

BCM is totally isolated from the climate system.
I have just packaged up a climate system & sent it to a fellow in WA. Included in it was instructions & photos that I took of how it all went together.
There are a handful of wires you need to run - |

In a regular commodore, you have an electrical plug behind the A/C controls - from memory there's 6 wires.
In cars with Climate, they use some of those wires, plus more added ones (that go to other sensors) - there's 11 wires from memory, and the plug is |

You mentioned before that you sell the climate control package. How much?
