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

Do you accept modules from Alabama?

Is there a mercedes elv emulator programming shop in Birmingham I should use instead?
Most local Birmingham shops don’t offer mercedes elv emulator programming as a bench service — they’d send the part to someone like us anyway. Going direct saves the markup and shortens the timeline. Total round-trip from Birmingham: typically 5-7 days.
Is the emulator a permanent fix?
Yes. The emulator has no moving parts — it electrically simulates the ELV handshake with the EIS. It will not fail mechanically like the original.
Does the price include the emulator hardware?
Yes. $350 covers the new emulator, EIS pairing, return shipping, and 1-year warranty.
How hard is the install?
About 30-60 minutes. The failed ELV pops out after removing the dashboard trim and steering column shroud. The emulator plugs in the same way. We email step-by-step photos with your tracking number.
