Is there a vw/audi med17/me17 immo delete + vin shop in Portland I should use instead?

Does Maine vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Maine requires an annual vehicle safety inspection statewide, with emissions testing in the Cumberland County area. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Maine and federal requirements.
Do I need to send the keys?
No. After the IMMO delete is performed, the ECU will run without any key matching. You will not need any keys for the engine to start (you still need a physical key to turn the ignition or push start the vehicle).
What if my ECU needs to be opened?
Some MED17/ME17 ECUs require opening the unit to access the chip directly. This may void the part's warranty. We will let you know before opening if your specific variant requires it.
