Default Replaced WCM Needs Programmed

I recently had a plethora of electrical problems with my 15 JKU and i’ve been tackling them as they came my way. I just replaced the WCM and was curious if there’s an alternate route other than the dealership who quoted me $500 to program everything. I have seen things online about the JScan app and I seen that they had an option to program a new WCM but wasn’t sure if it would actually work or not. wouldn’t i need to reprogram my key as well? any advice is helpful at this point

No experience programming a WCM with JScan, but they are legit. If they say they have the support to do that then I have no reason to think they can't. I'd agree with Jay, reach out to them for confirmation. If you don't already have JScan, I'd tell you it's a great investment for a mere $50 or whatever the combined BT dongle and license is these days. Well worth the money.
