Rhode Island FAQ

Common questions from customers shipping from Rhode Island.

How long does shipping take from Rhode Island to your Arlington TX workshop?
USPS Priority Mail from Providence, RI reaches our Arlington workshop in about 3 business days. UPS Ground is similar. We start work the same day your module arrives, and ship back the next business day with return shipping included.
How much does it cost to ship from Rhode Island?
USPS Priority Mail flat-rate from Rhode Island to Arlington TX runs about $13. UPS Ground varies by package weight. Customer pays shipping to us; return shipping back to Rhode Island is included in the $150 service price.
Do you accept modules from Rhode Island?
Yes — we ship to and from all 50 US states including Rhode Island. Most of our customers are out-of-state shops, locksmiths, and DIY pros. Our Arlington TX workshop receives modules from Providence and the rest of Rhode Island every week.
Is there a bmw fem/bdc key programming shop in Providence I should use instead?
Most local Providence shops don’t offer bmw fem/bdc key programming as a bench service — they’d send the part to someone like us anyway. Going direct saves the markup and shortens the timeline. Total round-trip from Providence: typically 5-7 days.
Why do I need to send the DME too?
The FEM/BDC stores an Individual Serial Number (ISN) that must match the DME exactly. Both modules are cryptographically paired — programming a key requires reading the ISN from the DME and writing it to the FEM.
What if my DME is also failed?
A failed DME cannot be ISN-read electronically. In that case we can sometimes recover ISN via dump from a known-good donor. Contact us first before ordering if your DME is dead.
Can I add a key without all-keys-lost?
Yes — we add spare keys. The process is the same (we still need the FEM and DME on the bench) but a working key on the original vehicle is not required.
