Virginia FAQ

Common questions from customers shipping from Virginia.

How long does shipping take from Virginia to your Arlington TX workshop?
USPS Priority Mail from Virginia Beach, VA reaches our Arlington workshop in about 3 business days. USPS Priority routes northeast through the Mid-Atlantic network; about 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.
How much does it cost to ship a module from Virginia?
We email you a prepaid inbound label — shipping to us costs you nothing; return shipping ($29.95 standard / $54.95 2-day / $94.95 overnight) is chosen at checkout. Cross-country northeast — about 3 days each way.
Do you accept gm hmi / radio / cluster vin unlock modules from Virginia?
Yes — we receive modules from Virginia Beach, Richmond, Arlington, Norfolk and the rest of Virginia regularly. With about 7.4 million registered vehicles statewide, trucks, SUVs & imports are the bulk of what we see from Virginia.
Is there a gm hmi / radio / cluster vin unlock shop in Virginia Beach I should use instead?
Most Virginia Beach 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 Virginia vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Virginia requires an annual safety inspection statewide, with emissions testing in the Northern Virginia metro counties. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Virginia and federal requirements.
Do you unlock Global B (2019+/2020+) modules?
No. Global B / VIP-architecture modules — roughly 2019–2020 and newer depending on model (C8 Corvette, 2021+ full-size trucks and SUVs, newer Cadillacs) — use a different security architecture that cannot be unlocked on the bench, and we do not offer them. Text us your VIN and the module part number before you ship: if your unit is Global B we tell you up front instead of after you pay.
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.)
