  • Bench read and verification of both units before a single byte is written to the donor
  • Bench communication test on a stable, regulated power supply before the module goes back in the box
  • Clear install notes — what to expect at first key-on, and when a shop-side adaptation or relearn still applies

Do you accept sprinter / mercedes cdi ecm clone modules from Iowa?
Yes — we receive modules from Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Sioux City and the rest of Iowa regularly. With about 3.4 million registered vehicles statewide, full-size pickups & SUVs are the bulk of what we see from Iowa.
Is there a sprinter / mercedes cdi ecm clone shop in Des Moines I should use instead?
Most Des Moines shops don't keep the bench equipment for sprinter / mercedes cdi ecm clone — they'd forward the module to a specialist anyway, which adds a markup and a middleman. Going direct to us is usually faster and cheaper. Cross-region north — about 2 days each way.
Does Iowa vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Iowa 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 Iowa and federal requirements.
Do you supply the donor ECM?
No — you source a used donor from a salvage yard, recycler, or online listing, and we verify compatibility before you buy or ship. Match the Bosch number and the Mercedes or Chrysler part number on the label as closely as possible. Send us photos of both labels plus your VIN and a technician confirms the pair will work, at no charge and before any money changes hands.
My original ECM is completely dead — can you still clone it?
If the module will not power up or respond at all, there is nothing to read, and no honest shop can clone it. That job routes to our ecu-advanced-recovery-service, where we attempt a deeper recovery of the data at chip level. Tell us the symptoms up front and we will map the path before you ship anything, rather than discovering it after your module is already in Texas.
