Connecticut FAQ

Common questions from customers shipping from Connecticut.

How long does shipping take from Connecticut to your Arlington TX workshop?
USPS Priority Mail from Hartford, CT reaches our Arlington workshop in about 3 business days. USPS Priority routes northeast through the regional network; typically 3 days to the Northeast.

Do you accept mini r50/r52/r53 bcm clone modules from Connecticut?
Yes — we receive modules from Hartford, Bridgeport, New Haven, Stamford and the rest of Connecticut regularly. With about 2.9 million registered vehicles statewide, European luxury (BMW, Mercedes, Audi) are the bulk of what we see from Connecticut.
Is there a mini r50/r52/r53 bcm clone shop in Hartford I should use instead?
Most Hartford shops don't keep the bench equipment for mini r50/r52/r53 bcm 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-country northeast — about 3 days each way.
Does Connecticut vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Connecticut requires a biennial OBD-II emissions inspection for most vehicles statewide. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Connecticut and federal requirements.
Do you supply the donor module?
No — you source the used donor from eBay, a breaker, or a parts recycler, and we verify compatibility before you commit. That keeps your cost down and keeps us honest about what will actually work. Send the listing photos and the part number alongside your original's label and we will confirm or reject the match at no charge.
Will my keys still work afterwards?
Yes. Cloning preserves the factory immobilizer relationship rather than altering it, so the keys that worked before continue to work after. This is not an immobilizer delete and it is not a security bypass. Because the work touches immobilizer data, proof of ownership — title, registration, or a bill of sale — is required before we begin.
