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

Do you accept gm hmi / radio / cluster vin unlock modules from Maryland?
Yes — we receive modules from Baltimore, Columbia, Germantown, Silver Spring and the rest of Maryland regularly. With about 4.2 million registered vehicles statewide, trucks, SUVs & imports are the bulk of what we see from Maryland.
Is there a gm hmi / radio / cluster vin unlock shop in Baltimore I should use instead?
Most Baltimore shops don't keep the bench equipment for gm hmi / radio / cluster vin unlock — 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 northeast — about 3 days each way.
Does Maryland vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Maryland requires a safety inspection at point of sale or transfer, plus a biennial VEIP emissions test in most counties. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Maryland and federal requirements.
My screen is cracked — can unlocking fix that?
No. VIN unlocking is a software/security operation. A cracked LCD, dead touch layer, or water-damaged board is a hardware failure and needs physical repair or a different donor.
What does Theft Lock mean on a GM HMI or radio?
On Global A/B vehicles (2014+) the HMI, radio and cluster store the vehicle VIN as anti-theft protection. Install a used module from a different VIN and it locks itself, showing a Theft Lock screen until the VIN lock is cleared.
