DiabloSport Unlocked Replacement PCM for 2018 Dodge Charger 5.7L 6.4L HEMI V8 - PCM-CHARV818

The DiabloSport PCM-CHARV818 is an unlocked replacement powertrain control module for the 2018 Dodge Charger 5.7L 6.4L HEMI V8. The factory module on these vehicles is locked; this one is unlocked and programmed for your vehicle so a DiabloSport inTune i3 or Trinity 2 can flash a tune. On its own it changes nothing.

Buy it if you already own an inTune i3 or Trinity 2 from another vehicle, want a second PCM so you can swap back to stock for dealer service, or need a vehicle license on a new vehicle. If you need the tuner too, the inTune i3 PCM swap kit 8323-X and Trinity 2 EX PCM swap kit 9323-X and PredatorX kit DS-MFD18C bundle the device with the PCM cross-ship.

Vehicle compatibility

• 2018 Dodge Charger 5.7L 6.4L HEMI V8
• Works only with DiabloSport inTune i3 and Trinity 2 tuners
• 2018 and newer vehicles also need the security gateway bypass harness 18GBC so the tuner can communicate with the PCM (included in DiabloSport PCM swap kits, sold separately otherwise)

What you get

• Unlocked for DiabloSport inTune i3 and Trinity 2
• Programmed for your vehicle; your VIN goes on the DiabloSport PCM form that accompanies the module, not in the checkout notes
• Direct replacement for the factory PCM with the factory software loaded
• Removal and installation videos are on DiabloSport's YouTube channel

Installation and limitations

Before you remove the factory PCM, save the stock calibration with your DiabloSport tuner. The instructions packed with the unlocked PCM walk through it; skipping this step can leave you without a stock file to return to. Swapping the PCM may set a trouble code that does not show on the dash. Not for use in California.

Frequently asked questions

Do I still need a tuner?

Yes. This is the unlocked module only. To load a tune you need an inTune i3 or Trinity 2. The 8323-X, 9323-X, DS-MFD18C kits include the device.

Will it work with HP Tuners or another brand?

No. DiabloSport unlocked PCMs are matched to DiabloSport devices only.

How does DiabloSport get my VIN?

Through the DiabloSport PCM form that comes with the module. Fill it in with the VIN and return it with the PCM paperwork; nothing is needed at checkout.

Why save the stock calibration first?

The stock file has to be read from the original PCM before it is removed. Without it there is no stock calibration to return to later.
