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

Do you accept gm hmi / radio / cluster vin unlock modules from New York?

Is there a gm hmi / radio / cluster vin unlock shop in New York City I should use instead?
Most New York City 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 New York vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
New York requires an annual combined safety and emissions inspection statewide. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all New York 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.
