Do you accept gm global a virginize (used ecm) modules from Idaho?
Yes — we receive modules from Boise, Nampa, Idaho Falls, Coeur d'Alene and the rest of Idaho regularly. With about 1.9 million registered vehicles statewide, full-size pickups & 4x4 SUVs are the bulk of what we see from Idaho.
Is there a gm global a virginize (used ecm) shop in Boise I should use instead?
Most Boise shops don't keep the bench equipment for gm global a virginize (used ecm) — 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-country northwest — about 3 days each way.
Does Idaho vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Idaho requires emissions testing only in the Treasure Valley (Ada and Canyon counties); the rest of the state is exempt. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Idaho and federal requirements.
Do you also program it to my VIN?
No — we virginize only. Once the module is virgin, your dealer or any SPS-subscribed shop programs it to your VIN with TIS2Web. We deliberately stay out of the per-VIN SPS write so you can use your own shop.
Why can't I just install the used module and program it?
Because GM SPS checks the VIN already stored in the module. If it's married to the donor vehicle, SPS refuses with a "module already programmed" / VIN-mismatch error. Virginizing removes that block.
