Illinois FAQ

Common questions from customers shipping from Illinois.

How long does shipping take from Illinois to your Arlington TX workshop?
USPS Priority Mail from Chicago, IL reaches our Arlington workshop in about 2 business days. UPS Ground is similar. We start work the same day your module arrives, and ship back the next business day with return shipping included.
How much does it cost to ship from Illinois?

Do you accept modules from Illinois?

Is there a mercedes elv emulator programming shop in Chicago I should use instead?
Most local Chicago 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 Chicago: 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.
