Is there a mercedes fbs4 dsm / ism cloning (2013+) shop in Chicago I should use instead?

Illinois requires emissions testing in the Chicago and Metro-East St. Louis areas; downstate counties are exempt. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Illinois and federal requirements.
Can you do the FBS4 EIS or make me a key?
No — and anyone claiming to is not being straight with you. There is currently no aftermarket tool for FBS4 EIS or key programming; that is dealer-only. We clone DSM/ISM, which is the part that is actually doable, and we are upfront about the rest.
What if my original module is dead?
If there is no readable data there is nothing to clone. Contact us with your VIN and symptoms before ordering — depending on the module and fault there may be another path, and we will tell you honestly if there is not.
