Your Peugeot or Citroën refuses to start, all the electrics have gone haywire, or the dashboard is lighting up like a Christmas tree — and a scan tool is pointing squarely at the BSI (Boîtier de Servitude Intelligent), the brain behind nearly every electrical function on your vehicle. A failed or corrupted BSI is not a straightforward fault: it stores the vehicle's unique coding, immobiliser data and configuration, meaning a simple swap from a breaker rarely works without professional cloning. That's where TVC comes in.
Sending Your BSI from Turnhout to TVC — Is It Really That Simple?
Yes, it genuinely is. Drivers and workshops in Turnhout, Antwerp and across Belgium post automotive electronics to TVC's UK workshop regularly — BSI cloning is one of the most common international mail-in jobs TVC handles. You remove the BSI from your vehicle, pack it securely, send it via a tracked international courier of your choice, and TVC does the rest. Postage to and from the UK is at your own cost, but the process is no more complicated than any other international parcel. There is no Belgium branch and no local partner — everything happens at TVC's single specialist workshop in Enfield, EN3.

What Exactly Is BSI Cloning — and Why Can't You Just Fit a Second-Hand Unit?
BSI cloning transfers the unique encrypted data from your original BSI — including immobiliser keys, vehicle-specific calibration and mileage data — onto a new or donor unit, so the replacement behaves exactly as your original did. A second-hand BSI from a breaker yard carries another vehicle's data. Fitting it uncloned can trigger permanent immobiliser lockout, cause persistent fault codes, or simply result in a vehicle that refuses to communicate properly with other modules. Cloning is the only clean solution.
Which Vehicles and BSI Families Does TVC Clone?
TVC clones BSI units across a wide range of PSA and Renault-platform vehicles, including:
- Peugeot: 206, 207, 307, 308, 407, 508, Expert, Partner
- Citroën: C2, C3, C4, C5, C8, Berlingo, Dispatch, Relay
- Renault: various models sharing compatible BSI architecture
Not sure if your specific BSI variant is covered? Call TVC before removing the unit — the team can confirm compatibility in minutes and advise whether you need to source a donor unit or TVC will supply one.

How Do I Send My BSI from Turnhout? What's the Process?
The international mail-in process is straightforward and well-tested. Follow these steps:
- Remove the BSI from your vehicle — it's typically located behind the dashboard or in the fusebox area. If you're unsure of the location for your specific model, TVC can advise.
- Pack it securely — wrap the unit in anti-static packaging or bubble wrap, place it in a sturdy box with padding to prevent movement.
- Include a note with your full name, phone number, email address, vehicle make, model, year, VIN or registration, and a description of the fault or reason for cloning.
- Post via a tracked international courier — DHL, DPD, PostNL with tracking, or similar. Keep your tracking number.
- TVC receives, clones and returns — typically within 2–3 working days of receipt, dispatched back to your Belgian address via tracked international post.
Postage both ways is at your own cost. TVC does not offer free international shipping or a prepaid label service for overseas customers.
What Does BSI Cloning Cost?
TVC prices are quoted in GBP (£). The exact price for your BSI clone depends on the vehicle platform and whether a replacement unit is required. Contact TVC directly on 0203 489 2610 or via the website to get a confirmed quote before posting. Pricing is transparent — no hidden charges on the cloning work itself.
Why Trust TVC With Your BSI?
The Vehicle Check has spent well over a decade becoming one of the UK's most trusted names in automotive electronics — not a generalist garage that occasionally handles ECUs, but a dedicated specialist with deep experience across BSI and BCM cloning, mechatronic repair and module-level diagnostics. The team works hands-on with Peugeot, Citroën, Renault, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen Group, BMW and more, every single day. That depth of platform knowledge is exactly why customers across Belgium, Ireland, France and beyond choose to post their modules to Enfield rather than trust a local workshop with no specialist tooling. When your vehicle's security and electrical architecture are on the line, experience and the right equipment are everything — TVC has both.
