Is there a mercedes me2.8 / crossfire ecm clone shop in New Orleans I should use instead?

Does Louisiana vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Louisiana requires a safety inspection sticker statewide, with emissions testing in a handful of Baton Rouge-area parishes. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Louisiana and federal requirements.
What is a Bosch ME2.8 and which cars use it?
ME2.8 is the Bosch engine control module Mercedes fitted to the M112 V6 and the late supercharged M111 four-cylinder, roughly 1998–2008: C-Class W202 and W203, CLK W208 and W209, E-Class W210 and W211, SLK R170 and R171, ML W163, and S-Class W220. The same controller family runs the 2004–2008 Chrysler Crossfire, including the supercharged SRT-6, because the Crossfire is a Mercedes R170 SLK underneath. The label on your ECM confirms it — send a photo with your VIN and we verify before you ship.
Why won't a used engine computer just start my car?
Because the ECM carries the immobilizer relationship with the car's ignition and security module — the EIS on Mercedes, the SKREEM on the Crossfire. A donor ECM still holds the identity of the car it came out of, so your engine cranks strongly and never fires. Cloning copies your original's identity, immobilizer data, and calibration onto the donor so your car cannot tell the difference.
