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

Is there a smart fortwo ecu / module clone shop in Virginia Beach I should use instead?
Most Virginia Beach 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-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.
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.
