Is there a bmw elv / steering lock repair (mail-in) shop in Detroit I should use instead?
Most Detroit shops don't keep the bench equipment for bmw elv / steering lock repair (mail-in) — 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-region north — about 2-3 days each way.
Does Michigan vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Michigan has no statewide periodic vehicle safety or emissions inspection program. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Michigan and federal requirements.
Do I send the CAS or the steering-lock unit?
The counter lives in the CAS, so the CAS is what we work. If you've already pulled the ELV/ESL unit, send it too and we'll check both sides.
Will this fix a mechanically dead steering lock?
It fixes the electronic/data side - the counter and CAS ELV data. If the physical ELV motor is seized or burnt, that actuator may still need replacement; the reset stops it from locking you out again.
