Is there a porsche alarm / immobilizer box clone shop in Washington DC I should use instead?

Does District of Columbia vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
The District of Columbia requires a biennial safety and emissions inspection for registered vehicles through the DMV. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all District of Columbia and federal requirements.
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.
What exactly is the alarm box, and why does it stop my car starting?
It is the alarm and immobilizer control unit fitted to the 996-generation 911 and the 986 Boxster, roughly 1998-2004. On those cars it is the immobilizer authority: it recognises the transponder in your key and authorises the engine control unit to run. If it fails, or if you fit one from another car, the vehicle sees an unauthorised key even when the key itself is perfect, and you get a crank with no start.
