Is there a mercedes me9.7 / med17 ecu clone shop in Fargo I should use instead?

Does North Dakota vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
North Dakota has no statewide periodic vehicle safety or emissions inspection program. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all North Dakota and federal requirements.
Why can't I just bolt in a used Mercedes ECU?
ME9.7 and MED17 ECUs store the car's VIN and FBS3 immobilizer data inside the module and are locked to the EIS and keys. A used ECU carries another car's data, so it won't authenticate. Cloning copies your original's data onto the donor.
What exactly gets copied during a clone?
The full operational dataset - VIN, FBS3 immobilizer data, injector coding, and learned adaptations. The donor comes back as a 1:1 replacement that installs plug-and-play.
