Why California customers mail in porsche dme / engine ecu 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 dme / engine ecu clone to a specialist instead of tooling up for one car. Cross-country west — about 2-3 days each way.

Is there a porsche dme / engine ecu clone shop in Los Angeles I should use instead?

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.
Can you tune it or remove emissions equipment while it is on the bench?
No. We do not perform emissions-related edits of any kind — no catalyst, EGR, or secondary-air removal, no exceptions. This is a cloning and programming service that reproduces your car's factory configuration on replacement hardware. If your original carried an aftermarket tune, tell us before you ship so we can set expectations about what is on the file we read.
How much is it and how does the mail-in work?
It is $250 flat. After a technician verifies your VIN and both DME 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 both units back with tracking. Return shipping is your choice at checkout: Standard $29.95, UPS 2-Day $54.95, or UPS overnight $94.95.
