Reverse-engineered · Built new · Bench-tested
When a critical electronic module is discontinued, a good car becomes a parts hunt with no finish line. We reverse-engineer those modules and build new replacements — plus the tools and software to diagnose and maintain these vehicles — so they stay on the road instead of in the way.
XLR Folding Top Control Module
The problem we solve
GM builds remarkable cars and then, a decade or two on, quietly stops making the electronics that run them. On the Cadillac XLR alone, the Folding Top Control Module and the Suspension Control Module are both discontinued — and the folding top module sits in a low corner of the rear compartment where a clogged drain tube floods it and kills the board.
A flooded module means a top that won't move, a deck lid that won't open, and dealer estimates in the thousands — for a part that no longer exists. We close that gap by remanufacturing the module itself: same fit, same function, built to outlast the original.
How we build it
We trace the circuit, identify every component, and document the logic the module runs — down to how it reads the position sensors and drives the hydraulic pump.
A fresh board with current-production parts and the same connector pinout, so it drops into the factory harness without adapters or splices.
Every unit is exercised on the bench against the original's behavior, then validated in the vehicle itself. We're looking for beta testers now — contact us for details.
