I'd check with Speartech but I believe that there is a separate module that controls the ETC that you need. The BCM shouldn't be necessary.

You need to get the TAC module for the electronic throttle to work. It's mounted on the firewall by the brake booster (also be sure and get the accel pedal and the pedal to TAC module harness).

Those ebay vats modules don't have anything to do with the electronic throttle operation, and besides that they don't even work for the vats on a truck PCM.

We carry all of the ETC parts if you can't find some of them.
