Is there a vw/audi uds immo-off (ecm) shop in Minneapolis I should use instead?

Does Minnesota vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Minnesota 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 Minnesota and federal requirements.
Will it affect my power windows?
It can, on some cars — one-touch and key roll-down route through the comfort-CAN/cluster gateway and may behave differently. It's model-dependent; we check your car and tell you before doing the work.
Is this legal?
We provide it for repair/recovery where legally permitted. Removing an immobilizer can have insurance and legal implications in your area, so it's your responsibility to confirm it's allowed. We never touch emissions controls.
