Why California customers mail in porsche alarm / immobilizer box clone

California has roughly 31 million registered vehicles, and European luxury (BMW, Mercedes, Audi) make up much of what Los Angeles-area shops and owners mail us. European platforms cluster in Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, San Diego, and most local Los Angeles shops sub bench jobs like porsche alarm / immobilizer box clone to a specialist instead of tooling up for one car. Cross-country west — about 2-3 days each way.

Is there a porsche alarm / immobilizer box clone shop in Los Angeles I should use instead?
Most Los Angeles shops don't keep the bench equipment for porsche alarm / immobilizer box 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 west — about 2-3 days each way.
Does California vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
California requires a biennial Smog Check emissions inspection in most counties through the BAR program. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all California and federal requirements.
My Porsche is a 2005 or newer — does this apply?
No. From 2005 onward Porsche moved to a different immobilizer architecture, and the 997, 987, Cayenne, and Panamera are covered by our other Porsche services, including Porsche BCM / Kessy key programming and Porsche BCM clone. Send us your VIN anyway and we will point you to the correct listing rather than take an order for the wrong platform.
How much is it and how does the mail-in work?
It is $250 flat. After a technician verifies your VIN, your platform, and both module part numbers, you ship the units to Auto Module Lab in Arlington, TX — this is a mail-in bench service, we do not come to the car. We clone on the bench, verify the write, test communication, and ship everything back with tracking. Return shipping is your choice at checkout: Standard $29.95, UPS 2-Day $54.95, or UPS overnight $94.95.
