Why Arizona customers mail in audi elv / esl steering lock clone

Arizona has roughly 5.8 million registered vehicles, and trucks, SUVs & imports make up much of what Phoenix-area shops and owners mail us.

Cross-country southwest — about 2 days each way.

Do you accept audi elv / esl steering lock clone modules from Arizona?

Is there a audi elv / esl steering lock clone shop in Phoenix I should use instead?
Most Phoenix shops don't keep the bench equipment for audi elv / esl steering lock clone — they'd forward the module to a specialist anyway, which adds a markup and a middleman. Going direct to us is usually faster and cheaper. Cross-country southwest — about 2 days each way.
Does Arizona vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Arizona requires emissions testing in the Phoenix and Tucson metro areas; the rest of the state is exempt. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Arizona and federal requirements.
Where do I get a replacement module?
eBay, salvage yards, and parts recyclers carry these. Send us the part number of your candidate before you buy — it has to match your original for a clean clone, and confirming first saves a wasted purchase.
What exactly is the ELV?
The ELV (Elektrische Lenkungsverriegelung), also called the ESL, is the electronic steering lock — the module that locks and unlocks the steering column electronically instead of with a mechanical key barrel. On the A6 C6 and Q7 4L it is a known failure point, producing a "steering column lock malfunction," a column that will not release, or a no-start.
