Best Selling Car Computers (Sales Data)

Jeep Grand Cherokee ECM

We’ve been repairing, selling, and shipping car computer modules (ECM, PCM, and TCM units) from our headquarters in North Carolina for nearly a decade. We have thousands of happy customers from all over the country — from Texas to California and from New York to Florida, we’ve shipped to all 50 states.  We also ship internationally.

Some car computers are more popular than others and we have the unique sales data to provide us with insight on the market.  This data was last updated in December 2018.

Best Selling Computer Modules by Make

If you think we sell more auto computers for Dodge than any other brand — you’d be right!  Dodge represents 41.63% of sales in the electronic control module market (for us, anyway!) so far in 2018.

For the past 8 years, ECM units for Dodge and Jeep vehicles have traded the title of most popular ECM purchased through CarComputerExchange.com. Combined, these two car makers represent over 60% of the computers purchased online through our site.

Best Selling Computers by Model

Dodge and Jeep might be the best selling makes from our store when it comes to folks buying a computer for their vehicle, but what about purchases made for individual models under Jeep, Dodge, and others?  Naturally this list will have numerous models under the Dodge and Jeep brands, but there are some outliers.

Here are the 10 most popular ECM, PCM, and TCM units sold by model:

  1. Dodge Dakota
  2. Dodge RAM Truck
  3. Jeep Cherokee
  4. Jeep Grand Cherokee
  5. Jeep Wrangler
  6. Dodge Charger
  7. Chrysler 300C
  8. Chrysler PT Cruiser (Turbo)
  9. Jeep Liberty
  10. Dodge Magnum
Remember, all of the units we sell to customers come pre-programmed.  There aren’t any trips to the dealer required to put install your replacement module;

Top Selling Modules by Year

From pre-programmed computers for your 1990 Lexus ES300 to your 2009 Jeep Wrangler, we have replacement ECMs for all makes, models, and years.  In fact, we reprogram computers going all the way back to 1990.

The 10 most commonly purchased engine control modules (in order of popularity) are from the model years 2002, 2001, 2004, 2006, 1996, 1995, 1999, 2005, 2000, and 1997.

Most Popular Products (Top 10)

Finally, here’s the list of our best selling products of using data from 2018.

Car computers are sold by make, model, and year for individual cars (keep in mind, we sell plug and play modules that work for your exact vehicle — you can verify by VIN.).  We’ve already seen previous lists filled with vehicles from Dodge and Jeep, so most of the items in the following list should come of no surprise:

  1. 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  2. 2001 Dodge Ram Truck
  3. 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  4. 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  5. 2001 Dodge Dakota
  6. 2002 Dodge Ram Truck (Diesel)
  7. 2002 Dodge Durango
  8. 2006 Chrysler 300C
  9. 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  10. J2534 Programmer (laptop is included)

Notice we mentioned most popular products for this list, not necessarily computer modules! That’s because the J2534 programming unit is a popular seller that enables buyers to calibrate, reflash, reprogram, and diagnose issues with ECM, PCM, and TCM parts.

It’s a popular item purchased most often by repair shops and mechanics.
