Is there a audi elv / esl steering lock clone shop in New York City I should use instead?

Does New York vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
New York requires an annual combined safety and emissions inspection statewide. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all New York 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.
