Michigan FAQ

Common questions from customers shipping from Michigan.

How long does shipping take from Michigan to your Arlington TX workshop?
USPS Priority Mail from Detroit, MI reaches our Arlington workshop in about 2-3 business days. USPS Priority routes north through the Central network; usually 2-3 days. We start work the same day your module arrives and typically ship back next business day at the return speed you chose at checkout.

Do you accept gm hmi / radio / cluster vin unlock modules from Michigan?
Yes — we receive modules from Detroit, Grand Rapids, Warren, Ann Arbor and the rest of Michigan regularly. With about 8.1 million registered vehicles statewide, domestic trucks & SUVs are the bulk of what we see from Michigan.
Is there a gm hmi / radio / cluster vin unlock shop in Detroit I should use instead?
Most Detroit 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-region north — about 2-3 days each way.
Does Michigan vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Michigan has no 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 Michigan and federal requirements.
What does Theft Lock mean on a GM HMI or radio?
On Global A vehicles (~2014–2019) 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. (Global B vehicles work differently and are not covered by this service.)
Do I need to match IO5 vs IO6?
Yes. IO5 is the non-navigation HMI and IO6 includes embedded factory navigation. Match hardware version and options like Bose too. We unlock the VIN lock, but the donor must be the correct build to function fully.
