Why Alabama customers mail in central gateway module clone

Alabama has roughly 5.3 million registered vehicles, and full-size pickups & SUVs make up much of what Birmingham-area shops and owners mail us. Central Gateway Module Clone is a bench job most Birmingham shops don't keep equipment for, so owners and trade shops across Alabama ship it to a specialist. Cross-region — roughly 2 days each way for a quick round-trip.

Do you accept central gateway module clone modules from Alabama?
Yes — we receive modules from Birmingham, Huntsville, Mobile, Montgomery and the rest of Alabama regularly. With about 5.3 million registered vehicles statewide, full-size pickups & SUVs are the bulk of what we see from Alabama.
Is there a central gateway module clone shop in Birmingham I should use instead?
Most Birmingham shops don't keep the bench equipment for central gateway module 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-region — roughly 2 days each way for a quick round-trip.
Does Alabama vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Alabama has no mandatory 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 Alabama and federal requirements.
Can every gateway be cloned on the bench?
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. Mercedes ZGW/CGW, BMW ZGM, and VW/Audi J533 gateways are usually bench-cloneable. But FCA/Chrysler-group SGW security gateways and the very newest gateways can require online or OEM tooling and may not be finishable on the bench alone. Send your VIN and a label photo and we tell you which case yours is before you ship.
Do you supply the donor gateway?
No — you source a used donor (eBay, salvage yard, parts recycler) and we verify compatibility before you buy or ship. The donor must be the same hardware / part number; send us photos of both labels plus your VIN and a technician confirms the pair will work.
