Do you accept porsche alarm / immobilizer box clone modules from Virginia?

Is there a porsche alarm / immobilizer box clone shop in Virginia Beach I should use instead?
Most Virginia Beach 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 northeast — about 3 days each way.
Does Virginia vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Virginia requires an annual safety inspection statewide, with emissions testing in the Northern Virginia metro counties. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Virginia and federal requirements.
Mine got wet. Is the data gone?
Not necessarily. Water intrusion is a well-known problem on these cars, and the alarm module sits low enough to be an early casualty of a blocked drain or a soaked carpet. If the board still reads, we clone it before corrosion progresses further — that is the whole argument for doing it now rather than after the next rain. If it is far enough gone that nothing reads, we say so, and the job routes to our ECU advanced recovery service instead of a clone.
Do you supply the donor unit?
No — you source a used donor from eBay, a salvage yard, or a Porsche parts recycler, and we verify compatibility before you buy or ship. Match the Porsche part number on the label as closely as possible; early and late 986 units differ, and the label decides rather than the model year. Send us the listing photos plus your VIN and a technician confirms the pair at no charge.
