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

Do you accept gm pass-key iii+ / modern vats delete (2006-2015) modules from Hawaii?
Yes — we receive modules from Honolulu, Hilo, Kailua and the rest of Hawaii regularly. With about 1.1 million registered vehicles statewide, compact SUVs & imports are the bulk of what we see from Hawaii.
Is there a gm pass-key iii+ / modern vats delete (2006-2015) shop in Honolulu I should use instead?
Most Honolulu shops don't keep the bench equipment for gm pass-key iii+ / modern vats delete (2006-2015) — 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. Far-flung — plan 4-5 days each way, roughly a 2-week round-trip.
Does Hawaii vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Hawaii requires an annual safety inspection for registered vehicles; there is no state emissions testing program. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Hawaii and federal requirements.
Why do you need the ECM label before I order?
Support depends on the controller AND the operating system in it. E39/E39A applications are well documented; other Global A controllers vary by calibration. Confirming from the label + VIN first means you never pay for a job we can't deliver.
Do I need to send keys or the BCM?
No — ship the ECM only. After the delete the engine does not check key authorization, so any key that mechanically works the ignition will start it. Existing keys keep working.
