Do you accept smart fortwo ecu / module clone modules from Alabama?

Is there a smart fortwo ecu / module clone shop in Birmingham I should use instead?
Most Birmingham shops don't keep the bench equipment for smart fortwo ecu / module 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-region — roughly 2 days each way for a quick round-trip.
Does Alabama vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Alabama has no mandatory statewide periodic vehicle safety or emissions inspection program. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Alabama and federal requirements.
Do you supply the donor ECU?
No — you source a used donor (eBay, salvage yard, parts recycler) and we verify compatibility before you buy or ship anything. Match the part number on the label as closely as possible; send us photos of both labels plus your VIN and a technician confirms the pair will work.
My original ECU is completely dead — can you still help?
Cloning needs a readable original. If your original ECU doesn't power up or respond, there's no data to copy, and a clone isn't possible. Contact us with your VIN and symptoms — on some Smart systems there may be an alternate path involving the ignition switch and a working key, and we'll map what's possible before you ship anything.
