Do you accept vw/audi dsg mechatronic clone modules from Iowa?

Is there a vw/audi dsg mechatronic clone shop in Des Moines I should use instead?
Most Des Moines shops don't keep the bench equipment for vw/audi dsg mechatronic 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 north — about 2 days each way.
Does Iowa vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Iowa has no 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 Iowa and federal requirements.
Why do you need matching part numbers?
A clone copies the calibration and configuration between two units of the same type. If the donor part number does not match your original, the data may not transfer correctly. That is why a technician checks both part numbers before you ship.
Is component protection handled?
Where applicable, component-protection / immobilizer data is included in the clone so the donor mechatronic is accepted by your car. Because that data is involved, proof of ownership is required before we perform the work.
