Iowa FAQ

Common questions from customers shipping from Iowa.

How long does shipping take from Iowa to your Arlington TX workshop?

Do you accept modules from Iowa?
Yes — we ship to and from all 50 US states including Iowa. Most of our customers are out-of-state shops, locksmiths, and DIY pros. Our Arlington TX workshop receives modules from Des Moines and the rest of Iowa every week.
Is there a bmw frm footwell module repair shop in Des Moines I should use instead?
Most local Des Moines shops don’t offer bmw frm footwell module repair 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 Des Moines: typically 5-7 days.
My FRM bricked after disconnecting the battery — can you fix it?
Yes. That is the single most common cause of FRM3 failure and is fully recoverable. We read out the surviving EEPROM data and restore the firmware on the bench.
Will I lose my coding after the repair?
No. Your original coding (lights, comfort access, etc.) is preserved. The module is plug-and-play when you reinstall it.
How do I avoid bricking the new one?
Always have a battery support during any FRM coding or full vehicle programming. We include a "do not brick" tip sheet with the return shipment.
